Any favorite female artists?.One of mine from the late 70's,great lyrics and she had a strong voice!...gsa612 https://youtu.be/c_BcivBprM0

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Not probably my favorite,but I had this CD on in the garage yesterday as I was putting the motor back in the car. Been on the dyno and out of state the last couple days,...
This entire album is quite good. Her back up singer on this cd was Cheryl Crow, before Crow hit it big ..

Re: Musical Tastes
 

When was this song originally released? There's a clue in the lyrics.

Johnny Rivers (born John Henry Ramistella; November 7, 1942) and still working...and NOT in the R&R Hall of Fame...but Madonna is :-(

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Mark, the lyrics make reference to the Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band released in mid 1967. I guess Summer Rain was released shortly after...gsa612

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Seeing that we're playing Johnny Rivers,we need some" Maybelline" with a bonus "Memphis".We can call it a Thursday 3 way (no not that kind of 3 way) LOL...gsa612 https://youtu.be/Vpei5AVOn3I

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Yup I got out of active duty 1st week of November, 67..Driving my 63 GP home from Fort Knox , across PA, all night long... must have heard that song every hour on WABC, New York.
By the way , the amazing strings and horns on the original were arranged by Marty Paich...father of David Paich , TOTO.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

How bout a little sax to wake us up. You guys probably don't listen to much jazz but have a listen to Ernie Watts on this sax .... He's kind of a John Force of that instrument ...

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Johnny and Jimi both touched a chord in all of us. Listening to them we all had soul and were a single color. In our best days we still are and music ushers in where it can be that way every day.

Appreciate this thread so much, keep it up guys.

The original version was just too good to leave it out here:

Cruising around Kingman, Arizona waiting for my draft number to be called. Used to listen to KOMA out of Oklahoma City and Wolfman Jack, broadcasting out of Mexico.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Cruising Kingman....must have been exciting as my small hometown in Iowa.

Music.......I haven't seen anyone mention "Sweet"...."Fox on the Run" . That was a 70's group.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Yep, it was folksy but given it was the era of "muscle cars" and good rock and roll...we made due.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

And I can remember the fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Here ya go, boys

A holiday mini-concert that I didn't know existed...

Fox on the run was their most popular. I liked this one better....

Thanks to all for this music, especially tonight as I am tired of hearing the firecracker war between the gambinos and the carluchee familys. John Kissel

Re: Musical Tastes

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Wasn't doing any racing or cruising when this song came out in 1974, got the album via "diplomatic pouch" on a reel to reel format while stationed as a Marine Security Guard at the American Embassy in New Delhi, India.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

One of the slickest productions of the mid 70's.

...And it looks like a lot of us here are guilty of this....

Could be, but the album with this song did.

(also Third Rate Romance...Could have done a two-fer on this one ;-) )

This one is a remake of a Beatles song by a band I'm sure you guys never listen to. But I think it's really well done "the modern way" ...

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Tony Hicks never got his due acclaim, as a multi-instrumentalist, IMO

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Really hard to pick two, from the first four albums.

The first one , obviously ,for the drag racing intro and outro

The second, for it's contribution to the American lexicon, although I'm sure a lot of "classic rock" fans never knew that.

"The style and personnel of the band changed radically with The Joker (No.  1, 1973), concentrating on straightforward rock and leaving the psychedelic blues side of the band behind. The title track, "The Joker", became a No.  1 single and was certified platinum, reaching over one million sales. It was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA on January 11, 1974.[8]" From Wiki...and where I leave the building...

Re: Musical Tastes
 

That is really funny but true.....LMAO
I didn't care for the anti-establishment music when I "got back to the world"....in fact, I went to the barber and got a buzz cut when I got back to my hometown.

Later got used to groups like CCR and liked them.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Another funny one. I've posted other songs off this album. Double album that the entire thing was great ..

See that girl, watch her dance
If I knew her name I wouldn't have to sit on my hands
If my mouth don't work I get some help
And she don't mind if I don't keep my hands to myself

(You're all right)
(You put up such a good clean fight)
(I'm afraid that you lose tonight)
S - l - u - t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me
S - l - u - t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me


You're so clean, so refined
You don't care to get messy just to have a good time
She's got saggy thighs and baggy eyes
But she loves me in a way I can still recognize

(You're all right)
(You put up such a good clean fight)
(I'm afraid that you lose tonight)

S - l - u - t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me
S - l - u - t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me

(You're all right)

S - l - u - t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me
S - l - u - t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me

S - l - u - t
She may be a slut but she looks good to me

She may be a slut but she looks good to me

She may be a slut but she looks good to me
