Billy Joel - My Life (52nd Street) 1978

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 11:30:51 +0100

Joel faced high expectations on his next album. 52nd Street was conceived as a day in Manhattan, and was named after the famous street of same name which hosted many of the world\'s premier jazz venues and performers throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Fans purchased over seven million copies on the strength of the hits "My Life" (# 3), "Big Shot" (# 14), and "Honesty" (# 24). This helped 52nd Street become Joel\'s first # 1 album. "My Life" eventually became the theme song for a new US television sitcom, Bosom Buddies, which featured actor Tom Hanks in one of his earliest roles. 52nd Street was the first album to be released on Compact Disc in Japan (1982).

The album won Grammys for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male & Album of the Year. Despite all the cover art for the album showing Joel holding a trumpet, he does not play the instrument on the album, though two tracks on the album do feature trumpets. Freddie Hubbard plays two solos in "Zanzibar" and joins Jon Faddis in the horn section for "Half A Mile Away."

John Lennon - Instant Karma (version 1) 1970

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 11:04:08 +0100

"Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)" was recorded for and is John Lennon\'s third solo single on Apple Records. The song is one of three Lennon solo songs, along with "Imagine" and "Give Peace a Chance", in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

It ranks as one of the fastest-released songs in pop music history, recorded (at London\'s Abbey Road Studios) the same day it was written, and coming out only ten days later. Lennon remarked to the press, he "wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and we\'re putting it out for dinner."

The song was produced by music producer Phil Spector, the first of many solo recordings by The Beatles that Spector worked on through 1970; Lennon may have been trying out Spector for work on the then-dormant Let It Be / Get Back project, which Spector would controversially rework for release that May.

Featuring a version of the ever-changing Plastic Ono Band â Lennon on lead vocal, acoustic guitar and electric piano, Billy Preston on grand piano, Klaus Voorman on bass and electric piano, Alan White on drums, George Harrison on electric guitar, Yoko Ono on backing vocal, Beatles assistant Mal Evans on chimes, grand piano and handclaps, as well as the whole lot of them, Beatles then-manager Allen Klein and a dozen or so late-night pub revellers from Hatchetts Pub on overdubbed backing vocals â it was released on February 10, 1970. Backed by Ono\'s "Who Has Seen the Wind?" (which Lennon produced), it peaked at number three on the US charts and number five on the UK charts.

The pair appeared on Top of the Pops, to perform the song live.

The single was released with a standard green Apple label, with the words "Play Loud" printed above and beneath the spindle. (The B-side label, by contrast, carried the words "Play Soft.")

Eruption w/ Precious Wilson- Leave a Light (1978)

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 10:08:12 +0100

After a minor hit single with "Party Party", their cover of "I Can\'t Stand the Rain" from their first album (December 1977) was a big hit, reaching number five in the UK Singles Chart, and number 18 in U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

It was followed by the second album Leave a Light towards the end of 1978 but the first single "Leave a Light (I\'ll Keep a Light in My Window)" was a surprising flop. Fortunately, the second single, "One Way Ticket", restored them at the top of the charts (a UK #9 hit). The song is often mistaken for a Boney M. record.

Precious Wilson, the group\'s second singer left in 1979 to pursue a solo career.

Demis Roussos - My Only Fascination *

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:45:00 +0100

Demis Roussos influence in Indian film music industry was also seen. Some of his songs were copied straightaway by the Indian music directors. To mention some , "Lovely Lady of Arcadia" was used in songs "Tumhe chede hawa chanchal (Salami)" and "Yun hi kat jayega safar saath chalne say (Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Kay)".

"You are my only fascination" song was rehashed and made as "Tumse thoda sa main dooor hooon (Pyar Ka Saaya)". The song "Mehbooba Mehbooba" (Sholay) is also said to be based on his song "Say You Love Me".

Demis Roussos - My Friend The Wind 1973

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:40:23 +0100

Demis Roussos came to a wider audience in 1968 when he joined progressive rock band Aphrodite\'s Child, initially as singer but later also playing bass guitar. His distinctive operatic vocal style helped propel the band to international success, notably on their final album 666, which became something of a cult classic.

After the collapse of Aphrodite\'s Child, Roussos continued to record sporadically with his former bandmate Vangelis. In 1970 the two released Sex Power (although the album has also been disputably credited to Aphrodite\'s Child), also recording the 1977 album Magic together.

Roussos also began a solo career following the collapse of the band, beginning with the song "We Shall Dance". Initially unsuccessful, he toured southern Europe and soon became a leading vocalist.

His solo career peaked in the 1970s with several hit albums. His single, "Forever and Ever", topped the charts in several countries in 1973 (1976 in U.K.). Other hits were "My Friend the Wind", "My Reason", "Velvet Mornings", "Goodbye, My Love, Goodbye", "Someday" and "Lovely Lady of Arcadia".

Commodores - Machine Gun (Soul Train) 1974

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:28:08 +0100

Looks like Lionel Ritchie!

"Machine Gun", the instrumental title track from the band\'s debut album, became a staple at American sporting events, and is similarly featured in many films, including Boogie Nights and Looking for Mr. Goodbar.

The Commodores originally called themselves the Jays, but had to change their name because of the similarly named O\'Jays. To choose a new name William King opened a dictionary and randomly picked a word. "We lucked out," he remarked with a laugh when telling this story to People Weekly Magazine. "We almost became The Commodes!"

Fifth Dimension - Flashback (Soul Train) 1974

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:25:00 +0100

Marvin Gaye - Let\'s Get it On (Soul Train)

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:08:02 +0100

"Let\'s Get It On" is a 1973 number-one single recorded by American soul singer Marvin Gaye for the Tamla (Motown) label.

The title song of the album release of the same title, "Let\'s Get It On" held the number-one position on the Billboard Pop Singles chart for two non-consecutive weeks in September 1973.

It replaced "Brother Louie" by Stories, and was replaced by "Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy. Written by Marvin Gaye and Ed Townsend, and produced by Gaye, it was the most successful single ever released on a Motown label.

O\'Jays - Back Stabbers (Soul Train)

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:02:55 +0100

The O\'Jays are a popular Philadelphia soul group, originally consisting of Walter Williams (born August 25, 1942), Bill Isles, Bobby Massey, William Powell (January 20, 1942 - May 26, 1977) and Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942).

The O\'Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004 and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. The O\'Jays (now a trio after the departure of Isles) had their first hit with "Lonely Drifter" in 1963.

In spite of its success, the group was considering quitting the music business until Gamble & Huff, a legendary team of producers and songwriters, took an interest in the group.

With Gamble & Huff, the O\'Jays emerged at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with Back Stabbers (1972), a huge pop hit.

Chaka Khan - I\'m Every Woman * 1978

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 09:57:28 +0100

"I\'m Every Woman" is a 1978 hit single by Chaka Khan, her first hit outside of her recordings with funk band Rufus.

Produced by Arif Mardin and written by successful songwriting team Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, the soul/disco song was a number one hit on the R&B singles chart, and is today Khan\'s signature song.

Whitney Houston and her mother Cissy sang backup on this version.

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly & Interview (Soul T

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 09:49:57 +0100

Superfly is an album by American soul/funk artist Curtis Mayfield, the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film of the same name. It was released in July of 1972 on Curtom Records. Widely considered a classic of 1970s soul/funk, Superfly was a nearly immediate hit. Its sales were bolstered by two million-selling singles, "Freddie\'s Dead" (#2 R&B, #4 Pop) and the title track (#5 R&B, #8 Pop). "Super Fly" is one of the few soundtracks to out-gross the film it accompanied.[citation needed]

Superfly, along with Marvin Gaye\'s What\'s Going On, was one of the pioneering soul concept albums, with its then-unique socially aware lyrics about poverty and drug abuse making the album stand out. The film and the soundtrack may be perceived as dissonant, since the Superfly film holds rather ambiguous - some will say sympathetic - views on drug dealers, whereas Curtis Mayfield\'s position is far more critical.

Like What\'s Going On, the album was a surprise hit that record executives felt had little chance at significant sales. Due to its success, Mayfield was tapped for several film soundtracks over the course of the decade.

Spinners - They Just Can\'t Stop It (1975)

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 09:33:13 +0100

The group\'s 1974 followup album, Mighty Love, would contain three Top 20 hits, "I\'m Coming Home," "Love Don\'t Love Nobody," and the title track. Their biggest hit of the year, however, would be a collaboration with Dionne Warwick (then billed as "Dionne Warwicke"). Their joint effort "Then Came You" would reach #1 in October -- the first chart-topper for either artist. Bell later noted, "Dionne made a face when we finished [the song]. She didn\'t like it much, but I knew we had something. So we ripped a dollar in two, signed each half and exchanged them. I told her, \'If it doesn\'t go number one, I\'ll send you my half.\' When it took off, Dionne sent hers back. There was an apology on it."

The band would hit the Top 10 twice in the next two years with the Smith-led "(They Just Can\'t Stop It) Games People Play" (which featured guest vocalist Barbara Ingram and would lead to a nickname of "12:45" for bass singer Jackson, after his signature vocal line on the song), and the Wynne-led "The Rubberband Man."
