Not a Tom Jones fan but it took Crosby’s passing for me to find out that he once sang with CSN&Y.



That last tweet describes part of who Crosby was but he was so much more. RIP.

Brilliant man,bloody brilliant story!!!!


Unreal how Crosby had such an impact on Harrison just by handing him an album. Hopefully, he also broke up the band he was performing that song with, just to stay in character, lol. Thx for sharing.

The song (and the music video) has been everywhere for the last week, I was actually wondering what you are thinking of it :laugh:
She could read the phonebook and I'd find something good in it. :laugh:

It's pure pop, catchy and fun lyrics. Not to mention how f***in' beautiful she's gotten as she ages. :amazed:

I know the Swedes are a four letter word with the Habs but I think this perfectly exemplifies the state our team is in (and hopefully the way we're going towards).

Been on a cruise ship for 2 weeks, just found out Robbie Bachman passed away on the 12th. Very sad 😞, very unappreciated drummer! He was rock solid! Sure wish the brothers could have mended their differences, great memories of them from my teenage years!

BTO was huge in the mid-70s and got a ton of air play on CHOM, with some of their songs getting traction in the US.

I’ve always liked this under the radar song — you can see Robbie playing on this:



BTO is probably the best thing to come out of Winnipeg, the band members always mentioned their home city. No doubt, one of Canada’s greatest bands and Robbie’s playing stood out. RIP.

Looking out for #1 always stood out to me! Showed the true ability of these 4 outstanding musicians. Always loved their sledgehammer sound, but also the cool riffs on tunes like Blue Collar, Stonegates, Down etc. Too many great tunes to even mention! RIP Robbie.

Always liked this tune from them among many others.


I never gave them my money, never saw them play live. I liked the few songs that got airplay but couldn’t get invested enough in their secondary offerings like I was with other bands like Rush. But, they sure got a lot of mileage from their hits. I outgrew those songs and only noticed them when they appeared as movie tracks.
