Too many legends there to let pass by. And on a Saturday. Takes too much time trying to do it everyday. Reading a few articles on each, editing images, checking facts, picking which good videos will work here really adds up. Like a part time job that pays $0

What a gift Whitney had and she could play her vocal instrument like no other! Just one of many of her performances that give me chills. Beautiful lady.

I didn't know you did this, brother. Great job and great vids.
Thanks for your time, brings back good memories, bro. 🤙

Where have you been?🤣

I haven't been checking out the Lounge as of late, moo.
I knew mrb1 was heavy into music from some of his other posts, but didn't know HOW heavy. Good man here, good music and a good cook, too.

 

[mrb1]

Thank you for the kind words @$diesel$. Being a somewhat decent cook at 15-16 years old, I soon discovered that girls loved a guy that could cook... and put on some Marvin Gaye, Elvis, Bee Gees, Foreigner, Little River Band or such..and it was a done deal . Amazing how spoiled (as far as music) kids are today with just about everything for free now in a matter of seconds. My fairly extensive collection has migrated from albums/cassettes/vhs tapes to cd's/dvd's over the years to now everything is saved on a single portable hard drive plugged into the tv/stereo system. Much of my early stuff is from downloading bootleg (live) work in the early days of the internet. At one time Ebay was full of bootleg material. Bought, sold or traded hundreds of albums/cd's back then.
I laugh now at when it was dial-up internet, setting up a single song before school or work and hoping it would finish downloading in 7 or 8 hours The attached image is what I keep in the truck/car. Not big on cellphone use, or paying for music streaming services. There are close to 1,200 cd's (no video) on these four usb drives. The actual cd's themselves fill a 6 foot tall, 3 foot round carousel type holder in the main room. Of course there's the argument that digital files like this don't sound as "good"....probably so. But for real listening, that's what the home setup is for

Love those stubby thumb drives...don't have to worry snapping them in half...have a 64GB one in my truck...your tower of CD's sounds like my cabinet of 45's.

your tower of CD's sounds like my cabinet of 45's.

Had my fair share. Just back then, when I'd transfer something,(or download) I would sell the older. Can't bring myself to sell the cd's. Run a vintage Yamaha (Japan made, not by you know who) cd player that sounds great.
...Mom taking her and dad's shared collection of albums/45's when they divorced didn't help

Only speaking the truth, brother. I am somewhat like you in that i like several types of music, my favorites are the old R/B. Marvin was and is a favorite.
My buddy's, 2 brothers, were raised around music as was i. The little tavern where i hang out is musically run by these guys as they are both musicians and keep the juke box going with song like you've posted.
When one asks who made a particular song, one or the other of these guys WILL answer it.

Keep up the good work and i'm glad i found your Lounge posts. 🤙

Mike d'Abo was born March 1, 1944 Surrey, England. Still touring around Europe today. He was the second lead singer in the Manfred Mann group ('64-'69) from '66-'69. He left the group a few years prior to keyboardist Manfred Mann forming the new "Earth Band" in '71. Blinded by the Light was '76
"Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)".."68.. originally written/recorded by Dylan...

#1 country song this week 1973 Cal Smith.. "The Lord Knows I'm Drinkin'" 🍻

The infamous concert where Jim Morrison of The Doors allegedly exposes himself onstage takes place March 1, 1969 in Miami (not to be confused with the "67 incident in New Haven, Connecticut where Jim was arrested onstage). Pretty much downhill from here for he and the group. In September of '70, Morrison was found guilty of two misdemeanors, the felony was thrown out. While the case was being appealed, he died in Paris July 3, 1971. He was pardoned in 2010.
No video footage of the Miami show exists. There are full audio recordings of the show available.
The closest video to that date is from April 28, '69.. recorded for the PBS special "Critique"..
"Tell All the People / Alabama Song (Whisky Bar) / Backdoor Man"...10 min..

Born in London, Roger Daltrey turns 79 today.
"Long Live Rock"...Top of the Pops '73

"See Me, Feel Me"...Woodstock '69 5min..

Karen Anne Carpenter was born March 2, 1950 in New Haven, Connecticut. She passed February 4, 1983 in Downey, California. Tough one to take here, personally. Serious crush on her as a young boy growing up. And their music was always playing in the house. She was "getting better" and putting on some weight when she died. Her heart was just in too bad of shape by then, reportedly beating only six times a minute that day Richard is still staying busy and recording new work.
"Dancing in the Street"..from a college talent contest June, 1968... just 18 years old 💔

"Rainy Days and Mondays".. from the BBC Sept. 1971😇

Guitar virtuoso Jeff Healey was born March 25, 1966 in Toronto, Canada. Stricken with all types of cancer at an early age, he had to have both eyes removed at one year old. Accomplished player in his laying flat style by age three. Playing professionally at fifteen. He passed away, after the cancer had taken over his legs and lungs, on March 2, 2008 in Toronto.
"Look at Little Sister"..beautiful clip with SRV from a CBC broadcast 1987

Malcolm, Bon, Angus, Mark, Phil
Bassist Mark Evans was born March 2, 1956 Melbourne, Australia. He played with the boys from 1975-1977, appearing on five albums total. He was replaced by Cliff Williams in late '77. Apparently never got along with the Young brothers, especially Angus. From the CEO of Epic Records at the time..."You knew Mark wasn't going to last, he was just too much of a nice guy". Touring nowadays with the Australian group "Rose Tattoo"
"Baby, Please Don't Go"..from the Australian tv show "Countdown" 1975

"Live Wire" and "Can I Sit Next to You Girl"..London,1976..10min..

 

[Moo Juice]

Karen's loss was an absolute shame. Looks like Bon had a love for Wendy's.🤣 Great selections!

Bon had disappeared from backstage a couple hours prior to that appearance. It was the groups first big break on Australian tv, so they were really sweating it. None of them knew what he was up too. Those laughs from the other boys in the group are genuine. Bon knew it would loosen them up Prior to AC-DC he wore his hair on his chin. With "Fraternity" doing The Band's "The Shape I'm In" 1971.

Heck, gotta do another Karen song. Not much in the way of anniversaries/history on this date..

Richard Manuel was born April 3, 1943 Ontario, Canada. Richard had a severe alcohol and drug abuse problem the last decade or so. He hanged himself March 4, 1986 Winter Park, Florida while on tour. Amazing history with the guys going back to the late 50's...
"The Shape I'm In" (two days in a row) from The Last Waltz 1976 (opens with alternate B&W camera shots)
