Blasts From The Past - 50S,60S And 70S Music

[Tippaporn]

Off topic but hey, y'all.  Keep those hearts a-comin'!!  Don't know if it's true but I "heard it through the grapevine" that if you get 1,000 of them you can redeem them for a free box of Dunkin' Donuts or 1/2 a chicken with fries and a soda at KFC.  Mods, can you confirm?

A bit of Cat('s) Squirrel history.  The original 1961 recording by Doctor Ross, the 1966 Cream take, and Tull's excellent 1968 rendition. (Messed this up!)

 

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

A beautiful number from Tull's masterful 1970 LP, Benefit.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

An excellent choice from the 1971 Aqualung LP.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Huge talent in this group; David O'List, Keith Emerson, Lee Jackson, and Ian Hague.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Virginia Plain from Roxy Music's 1972 debut.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Which immediately brings to mind . . . 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Our musical era would not be complete with the iconic voice of this guy . . . 

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Heaven "nose," I gotta play a couple more . . . 

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

No intro needed for this band.  From 1969's Bayou Country LP.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Released in 1973, the exceptional voice of Dr. John . . . 

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Average White Band funk from 1974 . . . 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

RIP Walter Becker on Sept. 3rd this year, founding member of the brilliant Steely Dan.  This is the long version.  This song will always remind me of a certain fair lady of mine . . .

Rockin with style

[Andrew Dwyer]

Any mention of Steely Dan gets me searching my music collection !!

Here they are playing Deacon Blues

[Tippaporn]

So few Supertramp originals on YT.  Ah, well, I'm grateful for all the music that is available.  Fortunately, I do have most of their albums on CD.  This one is off their 1979 LP, Breakfast In America.  Fantastic LP.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

And another off the same LP . . . 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

I'm sure this has been posted before . . . somewhere . . . sometime.  RIP Joe Cocker.  The guy sang with such incredible feeling.  I could watch / listen to him all day.  He never gets old.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Off 1970's Mad Dogs & Englishmen.  Leon Russell on piano.  Lovely.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Haven't seen any Manfred Mann posted yet (of course I didn't search all 1028 pages . . . I'm not insane).

 

From the 1968 Might Garvey! LP and two numbers from 1964's The Five Faces of Manfred Mann, respectively.

 

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

As amazing as the Kinks were I always felt they were somewhat in the shadows.  Ray Davies wrote classic lyrics.  Sunny Afternoon from 1966's Face To Face LP, A Well Respected Man from 1965's Kinkdom album, and the title tune from 1971's Muswell Hillbillies.  I had the good fortune to see them live in Chicago back in '74.

Always liked this one as a  young teen along with The Mighty Quinn. Transitor radio on, up some tree somewhere, singing my lungs out. no wonder the neighbour's dog barked.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Too funny and true, bannork.  For me it was Herman's Hermits "'enery the Eight I Am."  The song reached mass popularity when our family took a two week holiday out west.  Me and my siblings sang that song over and over and over again on the long drive out.  I remember, too, that I OD'ed on Kaptain Krunch cereal during that trip.  My mom knew we liked it so that was the only cereal she packed for us.  Couldn't eat it anymore once we got back home.

Made in Japan featured heavily in my musical upbringing and this track in particular caused me to turn the volume up !!, even with the volume at “ 11 “ it was not enough, although my dear old mum was of a different opinion as she screamed “ turn it down ! “ up the stairs .
Thinking about it now , even Gillan would have applauded my mum’s vocal range !!

Deep Purple - Child in Time ( 1970 )

[bannork]

lol, Good to see Andrew that you took Nigel's advice.
