Two giants in the world of musical theatre share a birthday today, firstly Composer, Songwriter and Impresario, Andrew Lloyd Webber turns 70 today having been born in Kensington in 1948...
And Composer and Lyricist, Stephen Sondheim is 88 today having been born in NYC in 1930... He wrote the lyrics for my dear old Dad's favourite musical, West Side Story...
Happy 75th Birthday to Jazz Guitarist and Soul Singer/Songwriter, George Benson who was born on this day in Pittsburgh in 1943... I've always loved this, it just soothes my soul...
One of my favourites. I saw him with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in the late 80’s/early 90s. Awesome.
Lead Singer and Harmonica player for The Yardbirds, Keith Relf was born on this day in Richmond in 1943. He tragically electrocuted himself in 1976 aged just 33...
Post Punk and New Wave Singer/Songwriter and Guitarist, Pete Wylie Of Wah! turns 60 today having been born on this day in Liverpool in 1958...
Happy 61st Birthday to Grammy award winning Soul Singer/ Songwriter, Stephanie Mills who was born on this day in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1957...
That’s beautiful, and it reminded me of a very different version, this masterpiece by Joe Walsh and the boys:
My brother bought that album when it first came out in 1970, when I was 16. I practically wore it out!
Yeah, don't know why I wrote that, I got the info from my usual source, still one mistake in 155 pages is not bad!...
