No additions since my last post in August. I was singing this song to myself this morning, and the version I heard was Linda’s. I wouldn’t have dumped her if she hadn’t been so damned liberal.



…which reminded me of this great performance, Hoyt Axton and Linda. The video isn’t perfect, but the audio sure is. Their voices harmonized beautifully.

A little Roger Daltry?

It may have been posted already, but in memoriam to Jerry Butler who passed on today...

Started to post Joan Jett's remake of this on the '80s music thread one day; then dug around to find the original. Studio group with Tony Orlando singing lead (about a year before Dawn).



Back several pages ago, there was a video of Mark Lindsay solo..here he is fronting the group.



There are some better audio vids of this one, but I like the group scenes from American Bandstand.



Not sure I saw this one earlier, but the tune that introduced us to Linda Ronstadt.

RIP, Roberta Flack. She passed at age 88 today. I remember this performance best of her work.

Nugent in his peak period. Master of feedback. Double Live Gonzo.



Ian Hunter, released in 1979

I read this earlier. Sad to hear it.

This is probably my favorite Paul Simon song, although he wrote so many great ones.

Album released January, 1970, technically the last year of the decade of the 60s.

The Boxer

Have been tempted to put a plug in for Bridge Over Troubled Water in the Masterpiece Albums.

I was a young kid when it came out, but I remember when my sister bought the Bridge Over Troubled Water album. She recorded it from a little portable turntable (I'm not sure why she didn't use mom and dad's hi-fi) to a cassette recorder on the kitchen table one evening. 55 years later and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Apparently I'll never forget it.

Great music.
