40...Ariel Pink, Lo-fi American musician, was born in Los Angeles in 1978... I liked this when I heard it last year...
George Michael [Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou], English singer-songwriter and pop superstar (Wham!, Solo), born in East Finchley, London in 1963 (d. 2016)... I hated Wham! with a passion in the 80s, but that was more to do with Andrew Ridgeley than George and their damn annoying cheesiness. I recognise now that George was one of the good guys with his generous philanthropy and I like this song.. R.I.P. George..
73...Carly Simon, American singer, songwriter (Anticipation, You're So Vain), born in NYC, New York in 1945... This was her massive hit, but just who was it about?...
She said herself that some of it was about Mick Jagger and some about Warren Beatty. She may have winding us all up of course!
66...Tim Finn (of Crowded House) was born in Te Awamutu, New Zealand. He formed the Finn Brothers with Crowded House bandmate and brother Neil Finn...
Ok, one of the heroes of my yoot now.. 63...Mick Jones (lead guitarist, vocalist, co-songwriter of The Clash) was born in Wandsworth, London in 1955. Joe Strummer's biggest regret was sacking Mick from The Clash. These songs are definately Jonesy more than Joe...
55....Harriet Wheeler, English Jangle Pop singer and composer (The Sundays) was born in Sonning Common, Oxfordshire in 1963...
62...Chris Isaak, American rock singer-songwriter (Wicked Game), born in Stockton, California in 1956... He had that brooding, little boy lost Elvis image that girls loved...
