The obscure links between artists thread

When the Easybeats went to England they were produced by Shel Talmy who also produced records for The Who and The Kinks.

Pete Townshend of The Who produced one hit wonder Thunderclap Newman's only album 'Hollywood Dream' .


"Something in the Air"

John Keen from Thunderclap Newman produced Motorhead's first album.

boomer, that's a great factoid

old age, memory loss or dyslexia...take your pick.

you're prob right...but this thread is a gassss

Concerning Talmy's production work for the who...

"The intentional feedback on the band's second single, "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," caused Decca executives to send back the recording, thinking that they had received a faulty pressing"

don't you love it? .

Motorhead frontman Lemmy was a roadie for Hawkwind.

Ginger Baker played for Hawkwind but became famous playing with Cream and Blind Faith.

(I admit that none of these are off the top of my head factoids. It's just fun to seek out connections.)

Majority of mine are top of the head, but I almost always check the facts because I am sometimes creative with facts (Apparently Glenn Miller was not Steve Miller's dad).

Eric Clapton's next gig after Blind Faith fizzled was as a player with the the John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band.

Oh man! I was hoping you'd end with Eric Clapton because I could have used myself as a link.... oh well....

Okay.

John Lennon also played with the Beatles who often used photographer Robert Freeman. Robert Freeman's first major assignment was photographing John Coltrane.

(Yes! I did know about Robert Freeman!)

Lord - then I would have had to find an obscure link to you! I'm good but not that good.

One of John Coltrane's most revered albums was 'My Favourite Things' which included, of course, an interpretation of Rodgers and Hammersteins song of the same name from the musical 'The Sound Of Music'.
