Many consider this the first Rock & Roll record.


Some say it was "Big Boy", if it was he never got paid for doin' it


In 1956, Presley paid homage to Crudup.
“Down in Tupelo, Mississippi, I used to hear old Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now,” he told The Charlotte Observer, “and I said if I ever got to the place I could feel all old Arthur felt, I’d be a music man like nobody ever saw.”




 
John Fogerty
I Put A Spell On You (live)


Premonition (live)


Almost Saturday Night (live)

I’ve been listening to the Roches a lot lately. I love their harmonies. A lot of great live performances can be found on YouTube. I don’t think any of their albums sold all that well.

Thank you for posting.

I always heard good things about them but never took the time to investigate.

Perhaps now I will.

I am not a huge Elvis fan. I like the usual stuff.

To me, however, his best work, his most honest and "dangerous" work, if you will,



Sam Phillips and his murderers row,

 
Yes, the man was an absolute legend. I was 14 when he died. This may seem like blasphemy, but I like Brian Johnson better. Scott was definitely smoother while Johnson is more raspy. Both great singers in an awesome band.
They are both so different and both so amazing. My favorite band of all time. I can’t wait to see them May 4 at Gillette. They don’t sound like they use to but they can still rock a stadium and the energy is still amazing. Angus is still got that school boy energy.

I saw them at the Centrum in Worcester back in 85. Great band live. They may not sound like they used to, but who cares? They’re still better than 99% of everything out there today. Enjoy the show, I’m jealous.

I must say, Bon Scott to me was "Highway to Hell" and little else. (That's the only one they played on Detroit radio early on.)

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Of course, my heroes at the time were John Lennon & Jim Morrison.

Two more f*ciked up fellows one could not find.

In the event,




I remain ignorant of his other work with the band.

*If anyone cares to post some, please do.*

I remember Back In Black (1980) very well.

Helped get me through high school,











For those about to (die), we salute you,

I didn't know Pat Burns, but I miss him.

I believe his induction into the HHOF proceeded his long running battle with cancer, and his death. He was not here to enjoy the accolades.

The NHL "league office" and, I guess, others in the game, were shameful, and shameless, in their petty maltreatment of a great character and three time Jack Adams award winner (with three different clubs, including the Bruins).

Why?

Envy, I guess.

And, I assume, a tendency to do things his way, rather than "Go along to get along."

A former Montreal police officer, I believe Burns had a place in New Hampshire.

Perhaps he understood New England.

In the event, Pat could be heard whistling this one in the presence of Boston media, just before his dismissal,

Be well, Pat.

The man was a visionary and pop genius,







I am greatly saddened by the turn his life has taken.

Yet the concept and music of Sly & the Family was *gold,* especially in the early 70s (not that I was cognizant of same at the time).

Everyone was trying to figure forward into a new, uncertain decade, not least relative to race relations.

Sly and the Stone addressed a lot of this with candor, humility, and joy.

Avail yourself.
