Loved Macy’s unique voice. According to the sidebar on the video, she’s currently touring. Her and Fantasia should do a squeaky voiced duet.
LOve that song! Have not heard it sine 1975! Thank you
before his voice went out for almost a decade people forget that lionel ritchie was starting to build a nice country career here’s one of them
there was more he was going to do but voice problems intervened
I’ll see your Deep River Woman and raise you a Sweet City Woman…and macaroons.
Mama Told Me Not To Come.
I Think I Love You.
Dizzy.
The band’s name, Double, was pronounced doo-blay. I think they were Swiss or Austrian.
I also liked the song enough, I purchased the album on cassette. “Captain Of Her Heart,” one other okay song, and the rest was filler.
I bought the album before “Don’t Bring Me Down” was released as a single. I knew the first time I heard it that it would be a big hit.
My own personal favorite ELO song is “Do Ya.”
And now the 00s, because it’s been 20 years.
Someone posted on my FB timeline.
This video is remarkable for several reasons. Firstly, it seems as if the vocals are actually live. Soul Train was notorious for terrible lip syncing. Secondly, look at Teddy Pendergrass upright and young! Thirdly, that 70’s flip on Sharon Paige puts Donna Pescow’s flip to shame.
I was thinking Farrah had a lot to answer for.
That reminds me of this song
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and is never far from my playlist.
Since I was driving today and listened to sizeable chunk of my collection all day, I nominate these gems:
Dead Skunk
Junk Food Junkie
Chevy Van
Alone Again naturally
I started a thread about this a while back. I’m probably not the only one.
Heh, one that I was reminded of by someone having a similar guitar tone. Jorgen Ingmann (and his tape echo) - Echo Boogie.
We were driving along today and to our great surprise one of our three local Classic Rock stations played “Dolly Dagger” by Jimi Hendrix. It was a track from his 1971 posthumous album “Rainbow Bridge.” In 53 years I don’t believe I have ever heard that on the radio.
There’s only a handful of Hendrix tunes that get occasional play, and we all know what they are: “Purple Haze,” “Hey Joe,” “Foxy Lady,” “All Along the Watchtower” and perhaps “The Wind Cries Mary” and “Voodoo Chile (Slight Return).” “Dolly Dagger” is never among those. The station is automated on weekends, so it wasn’t like there was a jock veering off the playlist.
Needless to say, we were delighted!
This is about a song that was half-forgotten by Mr. brown, not me. I was driving by myself and a local nonprofit station played a song that I had never heard before. The singer was instantly identifiable as Mick Jagger, and it had a cool slide guitar intro. I asked Mr. brown about it, who couldn’t think of what it might be, but after I Googled a line or two of the lyrics, I identified it as Memo From Turner. It wasn’t a Rolling Stones song, but a Mick Jagger and Ry Cooder song from a movie called Performance, dated 1970.
Mr. brown vaguely remembered hearing it way back when, but had pretty much forgotten all about it. He immediately brought it up on youtube and was delighted to hear it again.
It’s a pretty cool song. It reminds me a lot of Sympathy For The Devil.
Yeah, that’s a real rarity I would never expect to hear on the radio. It’s on the Stones’ singles collection “The London Years”, a three CD box set that came out in the late eighties IIRC (great collection btw.), but doesn’t appear anywhere else in the Stones catalog. Cool song, the movie not so much. I saw it some time in the eighties, and it was a rather boring arthouse movie, typical of its time. Jagger and Anita Pallenberg were the lead actors, Anita being Brian Jones’ former and Keith Richards’ current girlfriend and soon to be wife, but Mick and Anita having sex scenes in the movie seemingly caused some, let’s say, irritation between Keith and Mick.
I’ll occasionally hear “Fire” from the Hendrix catalog on our local classic rock station.
