Flaco Jimenez did a nice cover version of Carmelita featuring Dwight Yokam on vocals with Jimenez on accordion.  Off of Jimenez' '92 Partners album.

What I like about ZZ Top is that (AFAIK) most of their songs are credited to all members of ZZ Top (Frank Beard, Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill) and not just the one (or two) member (like you see with other bands), so they share equally the royalty cut (that is real friendship which in their case goes back a long long time)

(Picture taken around May 1970 so around 53 years ago)

ZZ Top I believe holds the record for the longevity of a group of musicians.  For 51 years, it was composed of vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard and bassist-vocalist Dusty Hill, until Hill's death in 2021.

What, no accompanying tune to your post?  :biggrin:  Well, allow me, then.  :cowboy:

Gimme All Your Lovin' performed live at the 2013 Montreux Festival.

Nice selection, zzaa09.  :jap:  One of my favourite Bonnie Raitt tunes.  But better than her studio recording, in my humble opinion, is her live duet with John Prine at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago in January '85.

Illusions are fine as long as they're real.  And the women here are quite real, I can assure you.  :laugh:  So it all is.  :cowboy:

Eurythmics with the title track of their '83 Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) LP.

Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree

I travel the world

and the seven seas

 

Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused

I loved their early stuff.  Their cover of Sonny Boy Williamson's Don't Start Me Talkin' off of their '69 The Climax Chicago Blues Band debut album.  I think Mutt Daeng would approve.  :biggrin:  :cowboy:

You could always count on director Quentin Tarantino to have a good soundtrack to his movies.

Charlie Feathers with That Certain Female from the 2003 Kill Bill Vol. 1 movie.

Of course the '94 Forrest Gump film had all of the popular Vietnam war protest songs and more.
 

The Rooftop Singers with their '63 single Walk Right In.

The '86 film Platoon similarly had a superb soundtrack.

Excellent Santana playlist, zzaa09.  :jap:

I'll add to that playlist Santana performing the instrumental Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile) live to highlight Santana's marvelous guitar on that track.  Off of their '77 Moonflower double album.

Was watching movie from Quentin Tarantino, From Dusk Till Dawn.

At the end of the movie there is a song "dark night", liked it but was too short.

Well here it is

 

That was The Blasters.  A great rockabilly retro band.  Worth checking out their material.

Marie, Marie off of their '81 self titled 2nd album.
