In memory of Terry Hall The Specials and also The Selector brought ska to the nation.
Still remember how The Specials captured the mood of the UK with Ghost Town.
Unemployment, community's in disarray, shutting down engineering and steel, mines, racial tension it's all captured in that song.

Prophetic, 40 years later.

[Tim Harrison]

Seem to remember it being voted one of the best or most influential records of the 20th century somewhere.

Another pivotal motown icon shuffles off this mortal coil.
Barrett Strong.

Hi all,

Barrett Strong.

Sad day, so soon after <"Lamont Dozier (and Thom Bell)">.

He co-wrote some great songs with Norman Whitfield for the <"Temptations"> - "Ball of Confusion", "Papa was a Rolling Stone" (another one of my <"sing it in the shower songs">), "I can't get next to you" etc, but I give you "Smiling faces sometimes" by the Undisputed Truth <"(also mentioned"> by @roadmaster).

Still gotta love Bobby Womack... - btw the album cover is epic. 'Merica!

Hi all,

Still gotta love Bobby Womack...

What a tune and he really was "the third brother of five". It plays at the start of "Jackie Brown", as well as in "Across 110th Street".

I listen to <"Bobby Womack most days"> and I believe @roadmaster & (@hwscot) are fans as well.

Yes, I loved Jackie Brown... I think it might have been one of Tarantino's best IMO... It probably meant something that I happened to live in LA around that time when it came out... around the same time as the The Big Lebowski btw. - another one of my favorites.😎

Cheers,

Bit of Mongolian Metal to kick off the morning!

Bit of Mongolian Metal to kick off the morning!

Nice... 🙂 It's likely a spinoff from the Huun Huur Tu tour with traditional Mongolian throat singers. About a decade ago they toured the world and also had a live performance at Berkley. Where western artists accompanied the last track they played with electric instruments such as base guitar with a more modern western beat. They came back in 2021 performing live in Bremen Germany.

Worth to give a listen, it definitively has some psychedelic vibe to it. Mongolian Trance...
