Have you seen his tiny dancer?
Top drummer.Sad to read about Rick Buckler passing at only 69.RIP Rick.
I was in the 6th form when they were in their prime, 79/80.Sad to read about Rick Buckler passing at only 69.
Can't say they were a favourite of mine, but I wouldn't turn them off. Some big hits in a short time.
Same age as me then thereabouts. One of many young guitar bands then bracketed as ‘new wave.’ I was a huge fan especially their first 4 albums.
61 years young.
Might have been year 5 (whatever that equates to these days), and 1st year 6.
There was a lot of music around that time that easy to listen to, can't say I was wedded to any of it though.
Genesis was big with the girlies, but not my cup of tea. Phil Collins after he went solo was better.
I was probably into my 20s before I got a musical identity and then it was going back to older music.
Phil Collins
Good drummer but terrible singer - that Supremes cover was cringing
He was OK. Saw him live on his first solo tour. Hammersmith Odeon I seem to think. First year in University (only year in university actually, I dropped out).Phil Collins

As for poor singers, quite a few successful artists weren't that good singers. Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joe Walsh, and many more. I have a lot of Neil Young albums and Joe Walsh.
Roberta Flack RIP

I heard that earlier. 88. Didn't realise she was that old.
That rendition is a good cover.
A Lori Lieberman original, sang about Don McLean.
Isn't funny how a song has the ability to remind you exactly where you first heard it and what you were doing?
First heard that blasting out on a transistor radio whilst perched on some open joists helping to wire a house in Maesteg in the 70's for a (much) older footballing mate.
A haunting song - I certainly wasn't 20 years old then and it stayed with me ever since - so strange that.
It is indeed funny how songs can invoke reminiscing.
As you rightly say, haunting, as is often the case when writing about real emotions.
Lori Lieberman had just gone through the breakup of a relationship. Her friend dragged her out to watch a young Don McLean in a bar. She wrote it as a poem on a napkin, which was then turned into a song which she sang.
There was a longstanding rift between her and the producers over copyright and authorship.
Not just a haunting song, but an interesting back story.
(Well, I think so anyway.)
