The Softs from 1970 with a 5 piece lineup. Hugh Hopper the definitive cool Jazz Bass Player, a 15 minute song and he COMPLETELY ignores everyone else the whole time...

Just watched Knives Out on Sky Cinema. Thoroughly enjoyable. This was featured towards the end and the credits. The Stones in one of my favourite incarnations:

Love this Gram Parsons influenced song, for which the Stones gave him zero credit. I believe it was Keith Richards who convinced Gram not to travel to South Africa as a Byrd during apartheid resulting in him leaving the Byrds and hanging out with the Stones. His influence is there in quite a few songs of the Stones over the next few years.

Evergreen song from a band who broke up much sooner than they should have

Saw Colin Blunstone a few years ago at Worthing Assembly Halls, his voice had aged very well

Going off piste for me today. Been watching a programme about the origins of West Side Story. Never seen it, never known how many songs I knew from it. Listening to this more carefully for the first time and hearing the background, I realise how powerful and moving it is. This is one of the best commented versions on YouTube:

Unashamedly cheesy Disco, but this has been today's earworm for me...

Is that a young Uri Geller on the keyboards at the start?

Iggy played this one on R6 this evening. There's not really enough whistling and sax combos

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Watched Sky Premier film Dry. Song during film and closing titles (different version, mind)

Makes my Ancient Greek Lyre version of Brian Eno's Baby's On Fire seem quite mainstream...

I thought I had seen them all, clearly not.

I love PJ Proby’s oddball version. He was rumored to make the demos for songs written for Presley before he became famous in his own right.
