When I was a kid I thought the Rolling Stones sang "don't let the sun catch you crying". I thought all songs were either them or the Beatles.

Edgy MD Mar 09 2016 09:41 PM Re: Post-Mortem Juke Box

That Cheap Trick was a cool choice. It's funny, because I got the idea that what he served least with the Beatles was the rhythm-and-bluesy rave-ups. The is perhaps the best George Harrison song that isn't by George Harrison. (It's definitely the best George Harrison song that isn't by George Harrison or Wilco).

Sir Elton most notably admits his debt. I like that Leon was often listed as 'Bandleader' during some of those multi-act shows [Mad Dogs & Englishman, Concert for Bangladesh], earning the nickname 'Mr Time and Space' for how he was able to calmly exist in the midst of all the madness swirling around him. Conveniently 'Space and Time' shows up as a lyric in 'Song for You'. Coming out of Oklahoma*, which remained a 'Dry' state for many years after the repeal of prohibition, musical prodigy Leon [born: Claude Russell Bridges] was able to play in music clubs, sometimes as young as age 14, because there were no alcohol related restrictions. Maybe that early start made him wise beyond his years to where, even if he was as crazy a party animal as the rest of the crew he ran with, you get the idea that at least when it came around to show time he was able to morph into the designated adult in the room and keep all the assorted egos and talents in line and on time. And then there's the hair and beard. I want that hair and beard when I'm in my 70s. I better start now.

sharpie Nov 14 2016 08:36 AM Re: Post-Mortem Juke Box

Saw Leon a few years back looking like he did in that photo. He could barely move, had to be helped onto and off of the piano bench. His set was just ok but his stories about Dylan, Cocker, etc., were the highlight of the night.

Thanks, Greg Lake. If this song was your only legacy, it would have been more than enough. [youtube:3c52tscn]RXCEdrnaFlY[/youtube:3c52tscn]

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 08 2016 09:13 AM Re: Post-Mortem Juke Box

That song's little melody is based on an old Russian (?) Christmas Carol our school band played every year when I was a kid; yours may have too. "Father Xmas" was the first song I ever played in band that I also heard on a radio station I would listen to ("You Light Up My Life" didn;t count)

Edgy MD Dec 08 2016 09:24 AM Re: Post-Mortem Juke Box

Yeah, the interlude was from Prokofiev, added by Lake as an afterthought. [youtube:3lju04nx]URrbQFL8IGc[/youtube:3lju04nx] The song was a big hit in the UK, where Christmas songs kill it on the charts, but it stopped at number two, where it stalled behind "Bohemian Rhapsody," which produced this alternately gracious and vicious little crack from Greg Lake: "I got beaten by one of the greatest records ever made. I would’ve been pissed off if I’d been beaten by Cliff (Richard)."

A favorite J. Geils track that features some hot lixx by J. himself. It was a Smokey Robinson song, catchy as hell, but originally recorded by The Contours because the lyric is so cynical and mercenary that Motown deemed it would be damaging to the Miracles' image, taking the market-based-romance attitude of "Shop Around" one step further. But it was perfect for the seventies, and such an explosion of R&B that the Geils band used it as their opener for decades, including throughout their many one-off reunions through the years.

Frayed Knot May 27 2017 02:42 PM Re: Post-Mortem Juke Box

Nothing against the lighter, Dickey Betts guitar-oriented ABB songs, but I LOVED the mostly earlier, bluesier stuff where Gregg's DNA and his growling vocals are all over the track. There were just three songs on Side 2 of their self-titled debut album -- later combined with their second effort 'Idlewild South' as a double album re-release called 'Beginnings' -- but those 17 minutes, containing 'Every Hungry Woman', 'Dreams', and 'Whipping Post', are about as good as a side of R&R vinyl gets. And that was merely the studio version; the Fillmore East release came later and those 17 minutes turned into about 45 and the bar for live albums was raised to a level maybe never matched. It's been 46 years since Duane's death. Hope you and him and Butch and Berry get to jam again. [youtube:34varvnf]b8OR-nIqEzw[/youtube:34varvnf]

My favorite version of my favorite song. I used to listen to it all the time when I was in college. [youtube:tybu2a7b]0lSoNN0O088[/youtube:tybu2a7b] Eagle-eyed readers might note that the album was released in 1990, at which point I'd already had my fifteenth college reunion. But back in 1970, my then-to-be college roommate worked a Ludlow Garage and came to college with a reel-to-reel tape of the concert.

Young Glenn Campbell tears it open with his guitar, trading licks on a 12-bar blues with Phil Baugh back in 1965.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2017 09:37 PM Re: Post-Mortem Juke Box

Jimmy Webb said that when he heard "Turn Around, Look at Me," he lost control of the tractor and plow he was driving and wrecked the garden of the family he was working for, and that night he said two prayers, firstly to someday write and arrange a song that perfect, and secondly to someday have Glen Campbell sing one of his songs. This I can promise. While I can play a piano, he will never be forgotten. And after that, someone else will revel in his vast library of recordings and pass them on to how many future generations? Possibly to all of them.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 04:41 PM Re: Post-Mortem Juke Box

I heard a DJ relay a quote of Becker's -- apparently in 'Rolling Stone' years ago to a young Cameron Crowe -- that he & Fagen were so intent on getting the very best musicians for their songs that it wouldn't bother him at all to not even play on his own album. So, yeah, that whole back seat thing.

I don't know how Fats didn't live his whole life with a kink in his neck from singing into an upright mic on his right. Surely, at some point, somebody told him he could afford one of those fancy elbow mics that other pianists use, but it ultimately was a part of his game. And it had the effect on the viewer like he was leaning over conspiratorially from the next barstool to share a great story. [youtube:38me2a80]iU9f_MUBCSs[/youtube:38me2a80]

Kirk Douglas starred in a 1950 film called YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN, loosely based on the life of Bix Beiderbecke. A nice cast was rounded out by Lauren Bacall, Doris Day, Hoagy Carmichael, and others, but it is largely forgotten. But in Witbank, South Africa, a 14-year-old boy named Hugh Masekela saw the film and was inspired to pick up a horn and play a song of freedom, of the joy and agony of growing up in Aparthied South Africa.

Dennis Edwards has died at age 74. Not an original Temptation, but he stepped in to replace David Ruffin for a time and was with the band on and off after that.
