One of the most bizarre characters in the history of rock is P.J. Proby, a Texan whose success was mainly in Britain. He made and squandered millions and ended up living in a caravan in Glossop. His hammy version of 'Somewhere' aka 'There's A Place For Us' is either glorious or dreadful, depending on your mood...

You can sort of see how he ended up living in a caravan.

A hauntingly beautiful song. I mentioned on another thread that I'm not bothered so much about lyrics, which is lucky because I can only make out about half of what she sings! But it's got a lovely tune and structure:

Noah's Dove by 10,000 Maniacs - the MTV Unplugged version

 

[MNW67]

Including this mainly for that iconic double middle eight bridge at the 2:00 mark. The way the lead and backing guitars hand off the melody is pure perfection. How can something so simple be so beautiful!

The Edmund Fitzgerald was a large freighter that sank to the bottom of Lake Superior in 1975, with the loss of all lives. Gordon Lightfoot sang about it. To locals, Lake Superior is known as Gitche Gumee...

The tune of this song is used by Christy Moore for Back Home in Derry

The Miracles 'Going To A Go Go'...

 

[Ihavenojob]

I prefer this to the Bowie version

This group was perfect for a short while. The Pretenders on the Kenny Everett show, 'Talk of the Town'...

Adam Faith 'What Do You Want'. Faith was a heartthrob in the spivvy days of early 1960s British rock & roll. His songs were never more than 2 minutes long, and he was never more than 4 feet tall. He later became quite a good actor, playing amongst others 'Budgie', a small-time villain, on 1970s TV, in the mould of the later Minder or Fools and Horses. His group, although not on this clip, was The Roulettes, members of which were Bob Henrit and Russ Ballard. Both of whom were later in Argent.
