I see CSN&Y are back on Spotify. Money talks!


We don't boycott anyone here. NY is still a putz though.

If anyone still has this album , it probably survived 200 parties in 1969 ;-)

It opens with the closest thing that Crazy Horse had to a hit record >

Like his music...
His politics...
Not so much...
You gotta look past a lot of stuff, or you end up hating everything...

One of my favorite Neil Young tunes...

This Day in Rock

John Weldon "J. J." Cale[1] (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, songwriter and sound engineer. Though he avoided the limelight,[2] his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as "one of the most important artists in the history of rock".[3] He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz.

I hear Cale`s influence on the first track. Marcy Levy sings on both these tunes, the latter being one of my all time EC favorites.

I can't believe I missed this guy, so far
Graham Gouldman, when just a young guy, wrote the following hits:
Heart Full of Soul
For Your Love
Look through any Window
No Milk Today
Listen People
... and this huge hit for The Hollies, featuring Tony Banks, Graham Nash, and the great Allan Clarke on lead vocals....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFPu83ggTlM

Later , in the 70's Gouldman formed the art /pop group 10 CC,...and we'll see if we can get Jeff N. back in here with this one ;-)

This one might sound vaguely familiar to the old geezers here...

You wanna know the story behind this song? And how and why Brian wrote it? On their first tour, which was by car, through Northern California, around 1962 or 1963, one of their shows was in a small town in rural, California farm country. A young girl in the audience couldn't keep her eyes off David Marks up on stage playing rhythm guitar. After the show, she introduced herself and invited David back to her family's home on her dad's farm. The next day, while cramped in the car on their way to their next show, Brian thought about David and the farmer's daughter, and wrote a song about it entirely in his head. Normally, he preferred a piano or instrument to write songs, but cramped in the car, he could only whisper the lyrics and sing the tune in his head, hearing the bass line as the lead instrument – Brian put the whole song together with his bass that night at their motel. I got that from David Marks's book, 'The Lost Beach Boy.'

Remembering singer, guitarist, and composer Eddie Cochran who was born on this date October 3, 1938 in Albert Lea, MN.
Cochran's family moved to Bell Gardens, California, in 1952. As his guitar playing improved, he formed a band with two friends from his junior high school. He dropped out of Bell Gardens High School in his first year to become a professional musician.
During a show featuring many performers at an American Legion hall, he met Hank Cochran, a songwriter. Although they were not related, they recorded as the Cochran Brothers and began performing together. They recorded a few singles for Ekko Records that were fairly successful and helped to establish them as a performing act. Eddie Cochran also worked as a session musician and began writing songs, making a demo with Jerry Capehart, his future manager.
In July 1956, Eddie Cochran's first "solo artist" single was released by Crest Records called "Skinny Jim". . In the spring of 1956, Cochran was asked if he would appear in the musical comedy film "The Girl Can't Help It". Cochran agreed and performed the song "Twenty Flight Rock" in the movie.
In 1957 Cochran starred in his second film, "Untamed Youth", and he had yet another hit, "Sittin' in the Balcony", one of the few songs he recorded that was written by other songwriters (in this case John D. Loudermilk).
In the Summer of 1957 Liberty Records issued Cochran's only studio album released during his lifetime, "Singin' to My Baby".
In 1958, Cochran wrote the "teenage anthem" "Summertime Blues" (co-written with Jerry Capehart). The song, released by Liberty recording no. 55144, charted at number 8 in 1958. Cochran's brief career included a few more hits, such as "C'mon, Everybody", "Somethin' Else", "Teenage Heaven", and "Three Steps to Heaven".
Another aspect of Cochran's short but brilliant career is his work as backup musician and producer. In 1959 he played lead for Skeets McDonald at Columbia's studios for "You Oughta See Grandma Rock" and "Heart Breaking Mama". In a session for Gene Vincent in March 1958, he contributed his trademark bass voice, as heard on "Summertime Blues". The recordings were issued on the album "A Gene Vincent Record Date".
Cochran's career was cut short April 17, 1960, when he died from injuries sustained in a car accident in Bath, England where he was touring. He was 21.

Some of you who are TV watchers might remember this guy. He's been around for a long time. At one point , he was the band leader for the brief and ill-fated Rick Dees "into the Night" show

This one is from the 60's and was co -written by Harvey Fuqua (Harvey and the) ,Moonglows.

This later one became a monster hit, thanks to a TV show ;-)
