    A classic from my South London record shop days -Lou Rawls, You'll Never Find...
  2. Mykesbass
    There is that, although the pedant in me needs to point out it is a guitar duet 😎

    Do check out their early 2000 releases, High Anxiety and Never Apologise, Never Explain. Not huge commercial success, but critically acclaimed when they came out.

    I had the pleasure of working very briefly with James Last. His management/legal team were also involved with Rieu. It looks like he has taken over that little niche. As with Last, he has a phenomenally devoted fanbase.

    How are you judging greatness? Hotel California must be up there if popularity has anything to do with it. Loved on a truly global basis. Nice enough song, but why is it just so huge?

    They were so much better when they were the National Radiator Company.

    Dads Dads Dads Dads Dads Dads Dads.

    Ah, Ella and Louis - what a combination!

    Shane McGowan singing Fairytale with his mum!

    Gigged twice, useful little 8" monitor from dB Technologies budget range. Now selling new at around £140, so hopefully a bargain here for someone. No power lead. Original box. Delivery up for negotiation.

    Everyone should have a veto. No point getting someone to play something they hate. Singer should have a slightly stronger say on material they are happy singing. But as with everything, there should be a bit of give and take.

    Same as you Jack, 48 out of 50 artists, but several more songs I don't recognise. Karen Young and Donald Peers - and I used to work in a record shop/jukebox record supplier specialising in oldies!

    Her delivery was sublime. The story behind the recording of Dusty in Memphis is well worth looking up if you don't already know it. And this track from that album is a favourite - check out the snare accent, on the two every second bar. Makes the song move beautifully.

    I chose this last year for my 94 year old aunt's funeral - she used to holiday in the South of France in the 50s through to the early 70s when foreign travel was unheard of for most of us. Very cool song.

    Two absolute corkers there lowdown.
  16. Mykesbass
    That's the one with lovely horn arrangements isn't it?

    The Hair Cast could have included some interesting names - Sonja Kristina, Marsha Hunt, Melba Moore, Tim Curry, Paul Nicholas, Elaine Paige and many more

    Oh, OK then 😎

    Great song. Was thinking of posting the Joe Cocker version from the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour.

    And while we are on a Country vibe, the great John Prime song, which Dolly among countless others have performed - here's Bonnie Raitt's version of Angel from Montgomery

    This was just on TV so would be rude not to post: Dolly Parton I Will Always Love You (apparently she wrote this and Jolene on the same day)!

    Can't believe Jimmy Webb's classic hasn't appeared yet - And I need you more than want you, And I want you for all time... Wichita Lineman, Glen Campbell
  23. Mykesbass
    Plasterboard 😎
  24. Mykesbass
    Two versions of I Don't Wanna Talk About It (and no, neither are Rod Stewart). First up, the original by Crazy Horse, then a personal favourite, the version by Everything But The Girl.
  25. Mykesbass
    This could equally fit in the Blues thread. Seeing David Coverdale appearing earlier, here's a great original - Bobby Bland, Ain't No Love.
