That’s a great performance. Nearly 50 years after their big hit, they could still rock.

I first heard William F. Buckley on a 1937ish 12” round screen TV we had in our basement!
Stuff made back then lasted.

"It Ain't Easy" IMHO, is one of the all-time most under rated albums
BTW: For those who may not know it: Reg Dwight played in LJB's band, before he became better known as "Elton John". The "John" is a tribute to LJB and not John Lennon as falsely suggested in the movie.

Had to run before this got started. I went through all the postings, so as to avoid duplication.
I am also not going to post anything by Van Morrison, since he is from Belfast, he would be offended to be considered English. Ditto for Rod Stewart (He is Scottish) BTW: "Irish Songs" might be a good idea for future!.
I was originally going to post a song by Long John Baldry, but that was taken by someone else with exceedingly good taste.
;)
So here goes:
Oh! Lucky Man -- Alan Price
The name may not be familiar, but he was the keyboard player for the Animals.

The "John" is a tribute to LJB
And the "Elton" was from Elton Dean from Bluesology.
It Ain't Easy has been a favorite of mine for decades. LJB also had a skinny kid by the name of Mick Jagger as a back up vocalist and a young Rod Stewart also. His contribution to the music we all love was tremendous.

And you then would know that Elton John, produced one side of "It Ain't Easy" and Rod Stewart the other side.
I bought that album when it came out and still have it!

Same here. I think I'll fire up the phonograph in a few minutes and turn up the volume.

OK, confession time:
The album I have, is not the one I bought. Here is what happened:
After I bought it, and had it for a couple of years, I loaned it to a friend, who then set it on top of a radiator, and ruined it.
We went to a record store to replace it, could not find it. Some years went by and I never forgot that album. Periodically I looked for it, but never found it.
I then read about a place in Van Nuys (or Canoga Park?), that had hard to get albums. Called him up and he had it. Drove up there, bought the album and started talking to him.
He also had the original "Sun Session" records of Elvis. He would not sell it to me but recorded it and put it on cassette (yeah it was that long ago). He also sold me another LJB album.
I felt I has scored!
Maybe three months later, I'm reading an article about a federal bust in Van Nuys. Turns out it was this guy and he was busted for not paying royalties on recordings of albums that he was putting onto cassettes. They also confiscated his collection, which literally must have been over a thousand albums
That is the 'It Ain't Easy' album I still have.

That's quite a story. The important thing is you still have an album.
I put all my favorite songs on eight track tapes. I still have some of those tapes. Heck I still have the eight track recorder and the player I had in the vehicle I drove in high school. I showed them to my granddaughter one night. She couldn't understand the concept. Age does creep in.
