Hello Goodbye - The Beatles

 

Ringo 'mimes' his drum fills perfectly. A legend.

What a remarkable cover by Townsend of The [English] Beat's Save It For Later which was off of their final '82 studio album Special Beat Service.  Must play the most excellent original version, too.

Haven't heard this one for ages, come up today in my Playlist

 

 

That was an AM radio classic in '67 in the U.S.

"L'amour est bleu" (French pronunciation: [lamuʁ ɛ blø]; "Love Is Blue") is a song whose music was composed by André Popp, and whose lyrics were written by Pierre Cour, in 1967.  Bryan Blackburn later wrote English-language lyrics for it.  First performed in French by Greek singer Vicky Leandros (appearing as Vicky) as the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967, it has since been recorded by many other musicians, most notably French orchestra leader Paul Mauriat, whose familiar instrumental version (recorded in late 1967) became the first number-one hit by a French lead artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in America.

Vicky Leandros' original version is worth a listen, too.

A very well done arrangement on that tune.  Reminds me of Mary Hopkin's '68 hit single Those Were The Days, a new English lyric put to the Russian romance song Дорогой длинною.  My mum loved this song.

And this one with a great guitar solo

 

Damn, that was a fantastic guitar solo.

I loved them when they were Chicago Transit Authority before they had to shorten their name to Chicago due to being threatened by a lawsuit by the actual CTA.  But I didn't care for them as their music evolved.

Introduction from that classic '69 debut double album.

Another progressive late 60's rock band that successfully incorporated brass and horns was Blood, Sweat & Tears.  I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know off of their '68 debut Child Is Father To The Man album.

Smiling Phases off of their self-titled Blood, Sweat & Tears second album released in '69.  I never owned the album.  I didn't have to.  My neighbor always played it loud enough for me to hear.  :biggrin:
