Motown , unlike  alot of the music/artists*  in early/mid  60's who did not survive/ transition during the British invasion, did continue  to flourish.   

* These other artists who remained in the late 50's early 60.s style ( like doo wop) were onle popular for certain groups like the lowriders and were promoted by Wolfman Jack on the border blaster, XERB. 250 000 watts

A nice bluesy number from Bakerloo on the self titled debut in '69.

 

 

 I expect Jimmy Page's  loud riff to break in at any moment (as in below in the Train's cover below)

A very nice slow bluesy number from Ash Ra Tempel, an experimental krautrock, from '72.  This off their Seven Up LP featuring Timothy Leary.

 

 

Turn on, tune in and drop out.

Petula, sounding fresh and vibrant, like her name.

Pushing a wheelbarrow full of cold cast iron across the junk yard in the winter and tipping it into the scoop that  carried it upwards to the iron foundry furnace, this song would often come to mind.

' Oh, I'm carrying a heavy load,' literally.

Music and the lyrics can often help one through the travails of life even if the composer meant something quite different.

Gotta love Koss !!

Unfortunately another of the “ died too young “ club.

 

Here is a little compilation of some of his work !

 

Yeah, drug induced heart failure at the tender age of 25.  I experienced that era first hand myself but never overindulged in the slightest and only imparted at parties.  Some simply couldn't control themselves (including some of my friends).  I recall when the Stones came to Chicago in '72 and a friend of ours just started working at a major retailer which had just opened a new Ticketron inside the store.  While people were camping overnight at other outlets we arrived at 6 AM on the day of ticket sales.  We were third in line!  As the hours passed the guy who was first in line was getting more and more f*cked up.  By the time the doors opened he was hunched up against the wall and so out of it that he never made it in.  Ah, well.

Farm, a band formed in Southern Illinois, released only a single LP in '71.  They were a blues rock band with Allman Bros. and Canned Heat influences.  This cut is Let That Boy Boogie and is obviously more of a boogie than blues rock.

Going back to Paul Kossoff. Here's an interesting story of his life. It seems Mandrax and other downers like Mogadon played the major part in his downfall. I never could see the attraction of sedatives as recreational drugs. Ugh!

And then there is heroin, painfully obvious in this interview.

Still, the achievements of the artist rise above his or her own personal weaknesses.
