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

[bannork]

There were signs of an Indian summer in the UK last weekend, according to my sister. 20 degrees in Wales.

Actually it's an Indian summer almost every day in LOS. Shame Jim never made it here.

Skip James at the American Folk and Blues Fest in Köln, Germany, 9 Oct. '67.  Unusual high pitched vocals for a black blues musician.  Very nice tune.  Non-German speakers can skip to 0:58 (although it is sub-titled in English).

20 degrees . . . woooooo!!  That's cold for me these days.  I'd be contemplating donning a sweatshirt at that temp.  

 

Since you're on a Doors kick, bannork, here's When The Music's Over recorded at the Hollywood Bowl show on 5 July '68 and which was not released until '87.  A bit of humour by Morrison about 9 minutes in.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

From the same show . . . The End.  Enjoy!

Carly Simon's You're So Vain from the No Secrets LP in '72.

Vikki Carr's It Must Be Him from '67.  I guess appreciation comes with age.  I good thing, me thinks.  Poor 'ol tutsi doesn't realize that this is the song that his VN heart throb is singing to herself whenever he comes in for fags.

Linda Ronstadt's If He's Ever Near from the '76 Hasten Down The Wind LP . . . you know, the one with her sexy pose on the cover, draped in a sheer nightie showing her hardened little nips . . .

'hardened little nips'??? that is to blaspheme against popular music...btw a pal from high school who was a carver and an artist sold her that ivory stuff that she's wearing on the album cover at a booth that he had at the annual NoCal Pleasure Faire...

 

I'm a big fan too...when she's decently attired in politically correct fashion...

 

 

this song reminded me of when my Tennessee grandma died as her love would always live in my heart...(oh, booo hooo...as always, sentimental and lachrymose...too much vodka at 11am, grandma probably wouldn't approve)
