The Boxer (1970)

Love this tune

I can't believe that this year is the 30th Anniversary of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I8mWG6HlmU&safe=active

My god, I'm getting old.

And last week was the 30th anniversary recording of We Are The World.

Thirty years later, there is still no rational explanation as to why Dan Aykroyd was in the chorus.

Elwood Blues is the best I got for an explanation.

 

[El Floppo]

it was never my favorite, and still isn't- but it was fun to stumble onto the Chameleons today.

and then, out of the blue, I thought of local SF band- Robert Seidler- who had a good tune with this.

 

[Mr. Ected]

Stumbled upon an acoustic recording of Level 42's Something About You.

Original Acoustic

Geez Willie Nelson looks young.

 

[zamboni]

I hope Springsteen was able to move his bowels after the recording - looked awfully constipated during his solo part.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Been using Al Kooper's cover of of Elton John's

Also this one I discovered last year: Free - Trouble on Double Time

GB Spotify.

 

[audiophile]

I recently moved and discovered an old box of cassette tapes that i made when I was in high school (graduated '81). One of them was labelled "Southern Rock." Total awesome flashback. I only wish my commute was longer so that I could get more songs in before getting to work. Two standouts for me:

Blackfoot "Highway Song" featuring one of my favorite guitar solos ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkGU6IDBOZQ%C2

And..... Atlanta Rhythm Section "Imaginary Lover" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHimj-crMrA%C2

 

[slackjawedyokel]

Want to feel old? Half of the 80s music is now over 30 years old.

Van Halen - Jump.

 

[zamboni]

And..... Atlanta Rhythm Section "Imaginary Lover"

Good call - I've been rediscovering more of these guys thanks to Sirius.

Another really solid hit of theirs I am hearing is So Into You.

 

[dmac37]

Don't like either band much but love both these tunes:

Styx- Miss America

Kinks- Catch Me Now I'm Falling

I may be 1,000 miles off base on this but, for some reason, I thought Dan was either friends with or shared the same manager as Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers

Makes sense. Song would have been nothing without Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie. Sacrifices had to be made.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

To the point of the thread...... I'm not a big Kinks fan, but I love "Til The End Of The Day". It's one of their early records and gets lost behind "You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Of The Night".

Well, Richie co-wrote it and the manager (Ken Kragen?) was one of the prime movers behind getting the recording together.

He was still on a mission from God.

Best I could find:

• Dan Aykroyd was in the chorus. He was a singer in the fictional band The Blues Brothers, but was invited to represent the movie industry.

  On the VH1 "I Love The 80's" special, Lionel Ritchie joked about Dan Aykroyd being in the chorus: "We needed Dan's voice".

creepy trivia- I looked exactly like that guy back then. the face resemblance is uncanny, even the hair cut... the whole thing.

Kudos for being able to pull off that cockatoo haircut. My hair would never grow that long.

it never got quite that long, but hell- I played soccer and was in a band... it pretty much went with the rulebooks for those two things.

It may have been mentioned up thread or elsewhere, but that studio (Le Studio in Quebec) in the April Wine video is the same one Rush recorded their videos for "Tom Sawyer", "Limelight" and "Vital Signs" (probably the whole Moving Pictures album). They are also all there on YouTube.

Baby Blue by Badfinger.

It was the final scene of Breaking Bad. Love that song.

Otis Redding - Hard To Handle: https://youtu.be/1ZxN9iQM7OY

The Black Crows' remake is great, but still doesn't hold a candle to the soul of the original.
