And amazingly, this is the best version I can find of Reach Out [I'll Be There] which is an explosive vocal song, but seems rather dim from the selections available on YT:. This is honestly the nearest to the original single in sound quality and version. You know how picky I am. Perfect pitch can be a real bugger. This lacks dynamic range, with Levi Stubbs vocal running into distortion way before it did in reality, but it's the best out there on YT. :
Portugal. The Man has hit it big with "Feel It Still", which is now ubiquitous. It's solid! Listen to their back catalogue instead:
This thread appears to be devoid of the great Art of Noise. I shall redress that right now with a selection of tracks from my albums: First up Camilla: Legs: The Chameleon's Dish: And inevitably, Peter Gunn: They all sound absolutely fantastic.
Nope, it was this one: please log in to view this image Generally the only place I ever see people making a '****er' sign is at football games.
Two legendary Singers at both ends of the music spectrum were born on this day. Firsty Happy 69th Birthday to The Godfather of Heavy Metal, Ozzy Osbourne, born John, Michael Osbourne in Aston, Birmingham, Singer and Songwriter for Black Sabbath and a long Solo career. He wrote this one...
And the late Crooner and Christmas Show specialist, Andy Williams was born on this day in Wall Lake, Iowa in 1927...
I absolutely love Tamla Motown, the great Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and Smokey Robinson being my personal favourite artists from that label.
I was finally allowed to listen to the early part of the Fable album on Sunday. Let's just say, I'm now feeling very, very confident. It's more rocky than her earlier stuff, but still weird (yet more accessible too). To give it some kind of comparison, it's like if the White Stripes had a baby with Bjork's album, Debut.
Happy 48th Birthday to Beyonce's old man and multiple Grammy nominee, Rapper Jay-Z who was born Shawn Corey Carter on this day in 1969...
Happy 69th Birthday to Southside Johnny, of the Jersey Shore rock band Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes, who was born John Lyon on this day in Neptune, New Jersey in 1948...
Happy 73rd Birthday to Byrds founder member, Multi-Instrumentalist and Songwriter, Chris Hillman who was born on this day in Los Angeles in 1944... He wrote this song... He later left to pioneer Country Rock with Gram Parsons in The Flying Burrito Brothers.
Great band, but I think they already did that with the Byrds with the album “Sweetheart of the Rodeo”, which was Parsons’ first with the band, and widely regarded as the first country rock album.
Beach Boys founding member and Drummer, Dennis Wilson (who will unfortunately be forever linked with Charles Manson) was born on this day in Inglewood, California in 1944... He co-wrote this song...
