Terry Jacks - “Seasons in the Sun”

Ladies and gentlemen, watch Ruth. (2;40)

“Pretty Mess” by Vanity.

Sad story about her though.

[rktman]

LOL! Open mike/jam night a year or so ago some gal asked if we knew “Dancing Queen” so she could sing it. Uh, firm NO! And she was PO’d. 😂🙌👏🎸

"“We Built This City”. "

Yup a long ways from "White Rabbit".

[Eccl 10:2]

Anything from Cindy Lauper especially True Colors

It’s pure torture

Billy Joel wrote “Uptown Girl” for and about Christie Brinkley.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Yeah. She had tried to get her life back on track. She should have stayed clear of Prince.

[dfwgator]

But have you heard, about the Bird?

Chester Thompson on drums. I saw him with Genesis.

[dfwgator]

Yep.

[EEGator]

No, I was probably too young. I’ll have to try and find it on YouTube.

[FamiliarFace]

I was worried your links were going to send me more Journey-like BS, and I’m so glad you didn’t. I would’ve had to put you on my ignore for life list.

A&M?

Funny story, since a couple of those involved have been mentioned.

Burt Bacharach was with A&M Records. He and his songwriting partner Hal David had written a song in 1963, given it to Dionne Warwick (formula for success), and it went nowhere. They tried several other singers. Nothing. They even tried having Richard Chamberlain do it on his talk-sing album. Nothing.

Burt knew it was a good song, and he was complaining about it to Herb Alpert one day. Herb replied, “I hve these kids I just signed. They just won the Battle of the Bands at the Hollywood Bowl. I think they’d do great with your song.”

Burt agreed to let them take a shot at it, and it worked.

The song in question:

I listen to many types of music yet I’ve never even heard of 2/3 of those. The rest I can take or leave.

[kosciusko51]

Also as an homage to the DooWop era. Still a bad song.

[TBP]

Ouch. Nasty. But true.

She’
s had so many, she could start her own bus line.

[real saxophonist]

And if you keep listening, you get some of the best George Duke has to offer.

Ouch. Nasty. But true.

She’s had so many, she could start her own bus line.

" “Mellow Yellow”

Couldn't stand that folk rock crap. Still, "Hurdy Gurdy Man" had a cool groove to it with the trick drums.
