One of the best songs ever. And plenty of good covers

Thanks. Those two covers are fantastic. Basically, they are doing it exactly the same as the original. It is when people try to change it and do slow acoustic versions etc. that I realised the song is actually very simplistic and can't stand on its own. It needs the energy.
 
Im going to leave you tonight with possible my best band from.the 80s


Good night all.

I thought Matt Bianco was a perfectly ghastly group, but they did have a nice girl singer with them... Basia (pronounced Basher) who is Polish. Here she is....

I had a her album. She followed Matt Bianco Jazz Latin type of music.

I always thought they where under rated. What didn't you like about them ?
 
Something a bit different. My other half's best friend sent us this from Los Angeles almost thirty years ago. I don't understand a word, but I think it is Greek.

 
We had Chas and Dave earlier, and Deep Purple before that. Chas Hodges and Ritchie Blackmore played together in various groups in their pre-fame days, as well as working as session musicians for other artists. Here they are together on an early 60s rock classic, 'Just Like Eddie' by Heinz (Hodges bass, Blackmore guitar). Heinz had only a short time in the limelight, and then spent the rest of his life trying to revive his 60s glory days. I saw him several times in the 70s and 80s, usually in pubs and clubs, and usually as part of a rock revue. Ironically, Heinz died aged 57.


Chas Hodges was a great bloke, a talented player, always full of fun and great cockney stories. Ritchie Blackmore is a brilliantly inventive guitarist but intensely disliked by most people who've worked with him.

So true. He was technically brilliant and had a great understanding of how music was structured. I love his solos in Lazy. For anyone who doesn't want to sit through the whole thing, he starts the first solo at 1 min 20 seconds and the second one at 6 min 10 seconds. Lazy is a unique blend of jazz, blues and hard rock, although the more prog rock first minute might not suit everyone.

You've probably seen it, but if you haven't, buy it now. Telstar - The Joe Meek story.
Covers the whole story from coming up with the Telstar tune, how the royalties were frozen because some French? bloke claimed he wrote it, his love affair with Heinz , the studio above a shop and the landlady chasing him for rent until he killed her and then blew his own head off.
Among the session musicians playing above the shop were Hodges, Blackmore and Mitch Mitchell.
