| Brave Belt (Another Way Out)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:30:05 -0800 by Termite58Brave Belt was a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba originally consisting of Randy Bachman (guitar/vocals), his former Guess Who bandmate, Chad Allan (lead vocals/keyboards), and Randy's brother Robbie (drums). Randy also provided bass tracks for the recording of the band's first album, Brave Belt I (Reprise Records, 1971). But C.F. "Fred" Turner was added shortly after as bassist for the supporting concerts.[1]The band made the Canadian Top 40 with the minor hit "Crazy Arms, Crazy Eyes", which peaked at #35 in November of 1971. However, they missed the US charts completely.When Allan left the band in 1971, Turner became the lead vocalist for the Brave Belt II album (1972). During the supporting tours for Brave Belt II, Tim Bachman was added as a second guitarist.[1] After this lineup (C.F. Turner with Randy, Tim and Robbie Bachman) had shopped around the demo that was supposed to be a Brave Belt III album, new management convinced them to change their name. They eventually settled on Bachman-Turner Overdrive.Though Brave Belt is relatively unknown some 35+ years later, the importance of the band was summed up by Randy Bachman in a 2001 interview: "It was an innocent time of soul-searching. Nobody would play with me when I left The Guess Who. I was completely black-listed. I couldn't get a decent musician to play with me, except Chad Allan, who had also been in The Guess Who and left. He and I bonded together, and I might not have gotten started without him, even though he left sometime after that first album. Those [Brave Belt] albums are so important to me because, for the first time, I was making my own music, paying for it, finding strengths in it, and going through the process of finding the right music for the record. It led to me becoming a stronger producer for BTO."[2] Related: rock classic k-she | |

| Cardinal Rex Lawson ~ "So Ala Temen - Yellow Sisi - Love Mu Adure"Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:07:19 -0800 by groovemonztersongs: So Ala Temen - Yellow Sisi - Love Mu Adureartist: Cardinal Rex Lawson & His Mayor's Band of NigeriaFrom the Wikipedia:Rex Jim Lawson (c.1930 - 1969), known as Cardinal Rex, was a singer, trumpeter and bandleader from Kalabari (Ijaw), Nigeria. One of the best-known highlife musicians of the 1960s, Lawson played with Sammy Obot, Bobby Benson, Victor Olaiya, Chris Ajiko, and other Ghanaian and Nigerian musicians and bands. His greatest success came as the leader of the Mayors Dance Band; their recorded hits include So ala teme, Yellow Sisi, Gowon Special, and Jolly Papa. His most popular hit is probably Love Adure, which is still a sure floor-filler in Nigeria to this day.A highly emotional and deep musician, Lawson was known to weep and shed tears while singing his own songs, notably the haunting So ala teme. Sir Maliki Showman, the famous Nigerian tenor saxophonist who played with Bobby Benson, Victor Uwaifo and Rex Lawson, remembers Lawson as always placing music over money. Lawson is famed for his infectious gregariousness, his musical vision, talent, perseverance and individuality.Lawson died tragically in 1971 in a car accident on his way to play a show in Warri, Nigeria.

Januar 1945 in Bruck an der Mur als Antonio Augusto Schinzel-Tenicolo) ist ein Österreichischer Schlagersänger, Musiker und Komponist. Auch im Filmgeschäft und als Schriftsteller ist Anders in Erscheinung getreten. Zum Kriegsende wanderten seine Eltern mit ihm nach Italien, der Heimat seines Vaters, aus. Die ersten neun Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte er auf der Mittelmeerinsel Sardinien, wo er in Cagliari eine italienische Klosterschule besuchte. Im Alter von zehn Jahren zog seine Familie nach Deutschland und lebte in einem Asylheim in Offenbach am Main. Anders schloss die mittlere Reife ab und begann eine Ausbildung zum Elektroinstallateur. In seiner ersten Band Christian Anders and the Tonics spielte er Gitarre, sang in einem amerikanischen Klub und schloss sich einer Ami-Band an, mit der er umherreiste und sein erstes Geld verdiente. 1966 nahm er ein Tonband auf, schickte es an eine Plattenfirma und erhielt einen ersten Schallplattenvertrag . Bei dem Koreaner Chong Minh Kwack lernte er in München jahrelang die asiatischen Kampfsportarten (Kampfkünste) Karate, Taekwondo und Aikido, errang den Schwarzen Gürtel (Dan) in ersterem, wurde Lehrer in diesem Sport und leitete in München eine eigene Karateschule. 1968 erhielt er für den Titel Als wir uns trafen einen neuen Plattenvertrag. 1969 war Christian Anders mit dem Schlager 'Geh Nicht Vorbei' der erfolgreichste deutsche Nachwuchssänger. In nur fünf Monaten wurden mehr als eine Million Schallplatten verkauft. 1971 gründete er seinen ersten eigenen Musikverlag in Berlin, Chranders Records. Seinen ersten Fernsehauftritt hatte er in der ZDF-Sendung drehscheibe. Er war oft zu Gast in der ZDF-Hitparade und in den Hitlisten von Radio Luxemburg, wo er auch als Diskjockey tätig war. Es folgten rund 25 Hits; der bekannteste ist Es fährt ein Zug nach Nirgendwo aus dem Jahre 1972.

Mit seinem Regiedebüt Die Brut des Bösen schuf er den ersten Karatefilm aus rein deutscher Produktion. Er wurde ebenso wie der Sexstreifen Die Todesgöttin des Liebescamps mit Laura Gemser von der Kritik verrissen und war auch kommerziell nur mäßig erfolgreich. Unter Trashfans erlangten die beiden Filme aber einen gewissen Kultstatus. 1987 verkaufte er seinen Musikverlag und siedelte in die USA über. 1991 kam seine erste amerikanische CD Lanoo Alive in America heraus. Christian Anders schrieb das Buch The Man W.H.O. Created AIDS (Wortspiel: Der Mann, der (who) AIDS erschuf, aber auch eine Anspielung auf die Weltgesundheitsorgan isation WHO) und führte dies als Ein-Personen-Stück in Hollywood auf. 1993 kehrte er nach sieben Jahren nach Deutschland zurück und feierte gleichzeitig sein 25-jähriges Schallplattenjubiläu m.

| Who - Wont get fooled againThu, 08 Jan 2009 13:01:14 -0800 by bluephenix13"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a rock song by the British rock band The Who, composed by band member Pete Townshend. The song originally appeared on the 1971 album Who's Next and has since appeared on various other recordings, including the live compilation soundtrack for The Kids Are Alright, the 1979 documentary film about the band, which in the 1978 Shepperton film studios shoot, was the last song the original lineup ever performed together. It is famous for its angular organ part set against guitar power chords, leading up to an extended synthesizer break into a drum entrance followed by a long scream by Daltrey. Townshend is playing block chords spread between the two keyboards of the 1968 Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ. Pete Townshend wrote this song as part of his Lifehouse Project. He wanted to release a double-album and film about a world where the people are oppressed, but saved by a rock concert. Part of Townshend's wish was to show the power of music and how it reflects the people. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is about a revolution. In the first verse, there is an uprising. In the middle, the rebels overthrow those in power, but in the end, the new regime becomes just like the old one ("Meet the new boss, same as the old boss").

| John Miles (Do It All Again)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:49:32 -0800 by Termite58Originally a pupil at the Jarrow School, Miles was a member of the bands Influence (which also included Paul Thompson, later drummer with Roxy Music; and Vic Malcolm, later lead guitarist with Geordie) and The John Miles Set, before starting his solo career in 1971.During the 1970s he issued eighteen singles and four albums, including Rebel (1976), Stranger In The City (1977), and Zaragon (1978). However, Miles had most success with singles; in addition to "Music", he also charted with "Highfly" (1975), "Remember Yesterday" (1976), and "Slow Down" (1977). Most of his songs were co-written with his bassist, Bob Marshall. "Slow Down" was also featured in the 1979 movie Players starring Ali McGraw and Dean Paul Martin.In the 1980s, he continued to record and tour. In 1983, a new radio station in the South of England, Radio Mercury, used parts from the song "Music" for their link jingles. The song itself also received extensive airplay on the station.Miles has toured with Tina Turner, often filling in for Bryan Adams when the latter was unavailable to join her on tour for their duet. Miles is also a frequent guest vocalist on albums by The Alan Parsons Project.Throughout the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Miles was the music director to Tina Turner on her various tours, and played on several of her albums. He also played Hammond organ on Joe Cocker's album Night Calls (1992). Today he is still making music, which he famously refers to as his "first love".In 1990, Miles participated in the UK heat of A Song for Europe with the song "Where I Belong", which came second.In 2002 he issued the DVD John Miles - Live In Concert.In 2007 Miles performed in Gelsenkirchen, Germany with the German band Pur and sang two songs.

Turner had an extensive American-European Tour, stretching from October 2008 to late April 2009. Related: rock k-she classic | |

| Bulldog (No)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:22:14 -0800 by Termite58Produced and played by drummer Dino Danelli and guitarist Gene Cornish of the Young Rascals, Bulldog's debut in 1972 opens with a heavy version of the Bobby Day number two hit from 1958, "Rockin' Robin," a performance which displays the strength and weakness of this ensemble. Bassist/lead vocalist Billy Hocher is a cross between Bob Tench of the Jeff Beck Group, Ian Lloyd of Stories, and Ralph Mormon of Savoy Brown. On tunes like "Juicin' With Lucy" and "Don't Blame It on Me," the singing becomes overbearing and a bit tedious, despite the journeyman abilities of the ex-Rascals producing this. Interesting that a band called Sweathog in 1971 had a hit with "Hallelujah" and a sound similar to Bulldog. Also worthy of note is that little Michael Jackson took "Rockin' Robin" back to number two nationally the same year this album was released, 1972. There is a real gem here in the song "No," a minor hit in some regions of the country that was written by Hocher and keyboardist John Turi. It suffered the same fate as Stories' excellent "I'm Coming Home," their 1972 almost-hit which is quite similar in sound and performance to Bulldog's "No." The Hocher/Turi songwriting team had some merit, with Billy Hocher's voice a bit more accessible on "You Underlined My Life" and "Have a Nice Day," both songs being somewhat pleasant and more refined than some of the other material here. John Turi gets to sing lead on the almost-funky version of Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business," featuring guitarists Eric Thorngren and Gene Cornish, who deliver a nice riff-rock sludge to augment Turi's boogie-woogie piano. Inevitable comparisons to the Rascals have the band falling short of what was accomplished when Cornish and Danelli performed with Eddie Brigati and Felix Cavaliere. "Parting People Should Be Good Friends" is nice British pop, and that style of radio-friendly songwriting and structure is where this band shines. It's just that the pop sensibilities are offset by the attempted blues of a song like "Good Times Are Comin'," which, unfortunately, holds this album back. Six years later, Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli would form Fotomaker with Wally Bryson of the Raspberries and a lineup similar to the Rascals. Though superior to Bulldog, the problem there as well was that a creative force like Eric Carmen or Felix Cavaliere was missing. The verdict is quite simple -- these energies put into more albums by the Rascals over these lost years is what the fans would have appreciated. Were that the case, "No" might have gotten a huge yes on the charts Related: rock k-she classic | |

| Marie - Bulles De Chagrin..Thu, 08 Jan 2009 10:47:54 -0800 by Lakis2Marie Pierrette Dufour (08.08.1949 - 18.10.1990)--------- -------------------- -------------------- --------Marie devait commencer sa formidable carrière en 1971 avec le titre "souviens-toi de moi."Amie des plus grandes vedettes de l'époque : Michel POLNAREFF et Serge KOOLENN, Joëlle MOGENSEN (Du groupe : Il était une fois), DALIDA, SHEILA, Sylvie VARTAN, Richard DEWITTE, Lionel GAILLARDIN et Nino FERRER, Dave, Sacha DISTEL, Salvatore ADAMO, Julien CLERC, Joe DASSIN, Daniel GUICHARD, Johnny HALLYDAY etc......... La liste serait trop longue et je m'excuse envers ceux que je n'ai pas mentionnés.MARIE sortait dans la foulée le titre :"SOLEIL" en 1971, qui était en fait : la face b du 45 tours "il ne faut jamais sourire d'un enfant". Mais qui devait par son audience faire exploser : la face a.Par la suite, elle devait en 1972 sortir un sublime et grandiose album intitulé tout simplement "Marie" qui disait-elle, «était dédié" à une personne dont on ne connaîtra jamais l'identité"? (Photographie de la pochette en avant de la page).L'ange Marie devait par la suite enregistrer : 5 ou 6 vinyles 45 tours dont le titre :"S.O.S"(reprise du groupe Abba comme le précise Yod@).On l'invitait également à participer, en 1973 à l'eurovision avec le titre "un train qui part", représentant la principauté de : Monaco. Qui avait retenu sa popularité et sa voix "à juste titre" parmi des centaines de candidatures retenues.Come back, 4 années plus tard (après son S.O.S en 1976) où elle apparaît en tant que : "Eponine" dans la tragédie musicale "les misérables." Un spectacle qui fut une référence pour l'époque. (Encore aujourd'hui) en cherchant bien, vous pouvez trouver une trace de ce génialissime spectacle en cd).Après une énorme désillusion et une traversée difficile de quelques semaines "dont une très infime partie de ses amis (es) connaissent la vérité".Elle devait connaître un beau jour le véritable amour !Comme le disent ses paroles : « Il faut toujours croire en la chance et j'ai trouvé ma route». Elle se mariait avec un des guitaristes du groupe :"Il était une fois" Lionel GAILLARDIN. (Groupe qu'elle fréquentait et à qui elle prêtait un profond intérêt. "On s'en rendra compte à la fin de sa biographie."L'Ange Marie, "Comme il me plaisait à la nommer" ! Grâce à ce mariage, suivait à l'époque le groupe en tournée.Marie trouvait par cette occasion une nouvelle opportunité. Elle devait s'investir "particulièrement et financièrement" pour lancer le groupe " Il était une fois" : Nommé également (I.E.U.F.) sur les rails du show-business et des projecteurs.Celui-ci , sans le vouloir trouvait dans Marie un sponsor dune importance capital. Ce qui lui donnait loccasion de chanter le plus possible "avec le groupe en tournée". Apportant toute sa fougue, comme elle seule savait le faire et se donner. "Tout en seffaçant dans l'ombre des projecteurs".Un 45 tours fut composé pour MARIE épouse de Lionel GAILLARDIN en 1974. (La reprise de THE HOSTAGE), par Serge KOOLENN.Malheureusem ent pour nous ! Depuis cette époque, plus de nouvelles de notre Ange Marie?Marie devait nous quitter pour notre plus grand malheur : Nous les "fans" en 1990. D'une implacable et incurable leucémie..."C'est une version qui est donnée à l'histoire de cette inoubliable Chanteuse des années : 1970".Le plus étrange, est que jamais une émission de télévision ou radiophonique depuis sa disparition, nous diffusent ou nous montrent Marie et ses chansons de l'époque ? Pourquoi ?Pourquoi n'apparaît elle pas également dans les encyclopédies de la musique des années : 1970 ?Pourquoi tous ces mystères ? Et ces silences ?La vie de Marie c'est arrêtée tout en laissant de nombreux points d'interrogation, comme vous avez pu le constater tout au long de sa biographie.Aujourd'h ui encore. Ils sont toujours présents dans sa vie, dans son ombre et dans sa bio.. Related: marie bulles chagrin france french trema dufour 80s | |
