Everyone down-the-line built upon what Chuck Berry helped build. He was one of the first to really give that electric geetar’ a good workout. Chuck’s cousin, Marvin, discovered the sound in Back To The Future, but Chuck brought itContinue reading “No Particular Place To Go”

Be My Baby

http://www.pandora.com/ronettes/presenting-fabulous-ronettes-featuring-veronica/be-my-baby/TRVr2hXVZhmlvxg https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ECP9CHhOu6w&feature=share Have to re-post this one. => One of my favorite oldies. Love the song. The original recording on Pandora is better than the above Hall of Fame (YouTube) version. Side note: As per usual, I always try to separate the art from the artist. Not that this is particularly relevant here. Am justContinue reading “Be My Baby”

Too much pollution. Too much crime. Why are we all crowded together like cattle in a stockyard? There’s so much beautifulContinue reading “We Are Stardust”

Every time I hear ELO I *get totally enveloped* in their music. Invariably, this old man feels 20 years younger when he hears ELO ringing those bells. If I’m not careful I’m liable to forget my age and hurt myself dancing to an ELO tune (well, you couldContinue reading “Sweet Talkin Woman – Tuesday Afternoon”

Old-school soul music and Motown later evolved from music originally created by some of these early people. The Drifters, OtisContinue reading ““Life Is Like A Song””
