This song has been in my psyche for as long as I can remember and i've always loved it. Perfect songwriting and performance from two of the greats, Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell...
The great Sugar have reformed after 30 years!... This is their new song, hopefully an album will follow... Apparently they will be playing in London next year.
What a rare treat this is, I never knew it existed although i'd seen the Peter Sellers take on A Hard Day's Night before on it's own...
One half of 80s Synth Pop duo, Soft Cell, Dave Ball has passed away aged 66 after years of ill health. I've always loved this... R.I.P. Dave...
I love this type of film because the are a real snapshot in time. The music in it is composed and produced by the great Joe Meek and is something of a vehicle for his protege, Southampton's own Heinz Burt. Some real music legends appear like Gene Vincent and Kenny Ball and others before they were famous like Steve Marriott, Dave Clark, Mitch Mitchell, Ritchie Blackmore, and Chas Hodges from Chas and Dave!
I see that Jack DeJohnette passed a couple of days ago. He was arguably thr greatest drummer in tjr current scene having initially made his name with Miles Davis and Charles Lloyd. More recently he worked extensively with John Abercrombie , John Surman and Keith Jarrett as well as his own groups.
The only woman ever to be a band member of the Grateful Dead has died aged 76. Donna Jean Godchaux had a career as a session singer before being invited to join the Dead in 1972, appearing on “When a Man Loves a Woman” with Percy Sledge and “Suspicious Minds” with Elvis Presley. RIP Donna Jean
