BLAST FROM THE PAST

You guys both are playing some of my favorite music.

Yeah. Van was amazing himself ...got a vew lps of his that I play regularly.

Didn't Van the Man have a song called 'Jackie Wilson Said'?

These songs are some of my all time faves. I favored good singing voices with a little something extra.

Why let the hits stop?

And speaking of great female singers, there's Della Steeet (same woman as starred in Michael Landon's Highway to Heaven):

This medley of songs feels incomplete without this classic from Roy:


Of course the attached video is from one of the wildest movies of the last 30 yrs.

Amy Winehouse I consider a being from another time...perhaps another place. This song is sung in such a tender way with a certain purity. Feel the beauty within her:

For today!

Somehow in my mind this song HAS to follow Amy Winehouse (her persona). Now for something completely different:

I really liked Amy WInehouse's sound, too bad.

One of my favorites was the syncopation tricks that Dire STraits used in some of their earliest (and best) stuff.

"MONEY FOR NOTHIN"

100% agreed. Brother in Arms album was one of the best recorded in decades. I used to take it with me to sound rooms to try out stereo equip't. My vinyl lp is still in perfect shape.

BTW- How do you post a You Tube video directly?

Take the hyperlink on youtube, cut and paste and then put HTML brackets (tags) around it..

Thanks, Ragman!-

Well done! Such a powerful song. Like out of the blue for them...considering the stype of music they typically did.

this is the first song I really remember hearing





when I was a weeBeth hamburgboy took care of me on Saturday mornings, so mrs. hamburgboy could have some time to herself

sometimes he'd take me to his workplace - the computer room (really a building) behind double airlock doors at an insurance company, and let me play with punch cards while he did important things with giant reels

it was a place that looked a lot like this but Saturday mornings it was hamburgboy and a 3 year old



we often walked home through the university campus



on at least one occasion, we stopped by the university radio station on our way home - the young man at the controls had been on a work placement at the insurance company

hamburgboy made a request for something to be played about an hour later

we continued our walk home, the radio was set to CFRC and this played for mrs hamburgboy


~~~~~~~~~~

this movie came out the year I was born. I always think of those computer room trips adventures with hamburgboy when I catch it on t.v.





I still love the smell of a server room.

Perry Mason's secretary?? I didn't know she sang ...

Happy Anniversary, jes! (& RP)

Ahaha! You caught me. I should have said Reese.
