"I Fought the Law" is a song written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets and became popularized by a cover by the Bobby Fuller Four, which went on to become a top-ten hit for the band in 1966 and was also recorded by the Clash in 1979. The Bobby Fuller Four version of this song was ranked No. 175 on the Rolling Stone list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004, and the same year was named one of the 500 "Songs that Shaped Rock" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
After enjoying regional success in Texas, Bobby Fuller and band decided to switch to a major label—Del-Fi Records under Mustang Records—and they became known as the Bobby Fuller Four. While producing minor hits, the band broke the national top ten when they re-recorded "I Fought the Law" in 1965 with Bobby Fuller (vocals, guitar), Randy Fuller (backing vocals, bass guitar), Jim Reese (backing vocals, guitar), and DeWayne Quirico (drums).
Just six months after the song made its first appearance on the Billboard Top 100 chart, Fuller was found dead from asphyxiation in his mother's car in a parking lot near his Los Angeles, California apartment. The Los Angeles Police Department declared the death an apparent suicide, but others believed him to have been murdered. Fuller was 23 years old.The Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law HQ | 2:18

(Not Fade Away) Buddy Holly recorded his early hits in Clovis, New Mexico at the Norman Petty Recording Studio. Jay Fisher's father was Petty's engineer and saved the original equipment used in that studio in the mid 1950s. Most of the equipment you see in the video, including the large metal audio mixer, was used to record Holly - including his first big hit, "That'll Be The Day" - one of the most important records in American music history. (Fun Fact: that was the first song The Beatles ever recorded in a studio session together.)
This analog recording (captured on my Iphone) makes Buddy Holly seem like he's literally standing in the room with us. I'd never heard his voice like this before. It was truly incredible.
The Norman & Vi Petty Rock N Roll Museum in Clovis has lots of historic memorabilia from the studio and local Clovis music history. The museum's recording studio can also be visited and if you're lucky, you'll have the chance to meet Jay and his wife and hear one of these musical treasures in analog!Listening To An Original Buddy Holly Studio Recording in Clovis, New Mexico | 3:15

from: Private Buckaroo (1942) -- Since this film is in the public domain there are a lot of rip off DVD's around from labels like a2zcds/Critics Choice. The best transfer I've found thus far is from Quantum Leap. The video clip I posted here is from Quantum Leap.You Made Me Love You - Harry James / Helen Forrest | 3:18

Cover of the 'Rascals' tune. Before 'Yasmin and the Tea Leaves' Tony and I played as a duo called 'Cool Water', from I think 1975 until about 1978, doing mostly original songs in folk venues festivals and theatre restaurants. For fun we did this demo sometime in the early eighties .

Henry Creamer (1879-1930) and Turner Layton (1894-1978), a vaudeville duo, wrote more than 60 tunes between 1917 and 1923 and "After You've Gone" was probably their greatest hit. It had been added to the score of the musical "So Long Letty" at the beginning of it's successful road tour. The song became very popular but nobody could buy the sheet music since it hadn't been officially published yet. It was first recorded by Campbell and Burr in April 1918 followed by Marion Harris in July 1918. Both sang it as a slow ballad which is the same way Ruth Etting sings it on this recording. It had languished until being revived in 1927, by the successful recordings of Ruth Etting, Bessie Smith and Sophie Tucker and the more upbeat tempos by the dance and jazz bands including Louis Armstrong, Charleston Chasers, Paul Whiteman and the California Ramblers. Since then it has become one of the most recorded of all popular tunes and has been performed by such artist as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman and Judy Garland.
