Mykesbass Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I'd like to think that Karen Carpenter would have achieved the same status as Dolly Parton and Abba, with people realising how good she really was. Hendrix would be dealing with the problem of wild parakeets taking over London's parkland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would never have gotten the Foo Fighters for one thing. That wouldn't have been a bad thing, mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 they'd be getting slagged off for for carrying on way past their best like Macca and Clapton etc, and maybe rightly so, to quote Hendrix (allegedly) "once you're dead your made for life", how prophetic was that?

Innovative guitar god to middle of the road AOR by the mid 80s. And absolute mentalist from the 90s onwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_dinger Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 So many talented musicians lost to us at an early age 1970 - Robert Johnson appears on the Old Grey Whistle Test 1980 - the Mama Cass Workout video is released. 1990 - Buddy Holly reunites with the Crickets, and plays at Wembley stadium. 2000 - Jimi Hendrix composes a piece for orchestra, to great acclaim. 2010 - Brian Jones leaves the Rolling Stones, citing ill health. Has a regular slot on Radio 2 ("Sounds of the 60s"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
