Amos Milburn

One of the lesser known founders of R&B !

was funny when they asked people on the streets, do you like R&B, they said yes, then do you like rhythm and blues, no!

[swannsong]

Speaking of R & B, some Moody Blues from the mid 60's.


Moody Blues - Go Now


Moody Blues - I'll Go Crazy

Amos Milburn

One of the lesser known founders of R&B !

was funny when they asked people on the streets, do you like R&B, they said yes, then do you like rhythm and blues, no!

I remember the Chasers asking americans if they knew a country starting with U and they all said no. My first thoughts were Uruguay and Uzbekistan before Colin Firth said "what about the united states?"

Listening to Jason Mraz's song posted by ronaldo07 , made me recall an old Tom Rush song!


Tom Rush - The Childs Song - 1970
I think this might have been around the time of Woodstock ?


Tom Rush - The Childs Song - 2007
37 years on ?


Tom Rush - No Regrets - 1968
Tom Rush's biggest hit from ~1968 (40 years ago!!) Ultravox's Midge Ure covered the song in 1982 .

Nas - It Was Written

Beethoven - Symphony No. 9

The Ivys - Maybe Tomorrow
Badfinger started out as The Ivys.


Badfinger - No Matter What
One of Badfingers biggest hits.


Badfinger - Without You
Probably best know song from Badfinger after Harry Nilsson scored a No 1 with it in the early 70's.


Badfinger - Day After Day
Another big hit but sadly 2 members of the group Peter Ham and Joey Evans both suicided by hanging themselves.

Ever dream of becoming a celebrity? Ever want a hit record? Are your children thinking about a musical career? Read Dan Matovina's "Without You: The Tragic Story Of Badfinger" first.

Badfinger began its life as The Iveys during the Fab 1960s. They became Badfinger when the various ex-Beatles "discovered" them and signed them to their Apple Records label.

Apple Records was a unique label. Loving and nurturing to its artists (if not overly generous with royalty rates, according to Badfinger members), Apple and its Beatle owners immediately launched a promotional push for the band.

They quickly found themselves performing on the soundtrack for the Ringo Starr/Peter Seller's film "The Magic Christian" and in 1970 their performance of a song from that film, "Come And Get It," written by Paul McCartney, rose to # 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles. The soundtrack rose to # 55 on the album charts.

They might have been one-hit wonders except they had one incredibly talented singer/songwriter/guitarist/pianist in Pete Ham. The band's first studio album, "No Dice," followed in late 1970 (peaking at # 28), and the first true "power pop" single, Ham's "No Matter What," propelled the band to their second Top 10 hit (peaking at #8).

In 1971 the "Straight Up" album, with production by George Harrison and Todd Rundgren, peaked at only # 31 --- but it spent a phenomenal 32 weeks on Billboard's Top 200 album chart. It also gave the band its first Gold Record Award for the single "Day After Day," which peaked at #4.

The follow-up single "Baby Blue" became their first single not to crack the Top 10, peaking at # 14.

Two more years, a musical lifetime, followed before Apple would release another album by the band, and that album failed to crack the Top 100 album chart and produced no hit singles.

Thinking they could do better elsewhere, the band signed with Warner Brothers. In 1974 they released two excellent albums on Warner, but again they failed to crack the Top 100 albums and failed to place any singles on the charts.

In fact, with their final Warner's release, "Wish You Were Here," acclaimed by critics and selling 25,000 copies a week, the band found themselves suddenly being ripped off by their management and then sued by their record label (which pulled the album from circulation). A tour folded and the band's assets were frozen.

Depressed and broke, Ham committed suicide by hanging in 1975. Eight years later, bassist Tom Evans did exactly the same thing. The twosome had written a little tune in 1970 entitled "Without You" ("can't live / if living means without you..."), a Grammy-winning hit for Harry Nilsson and a 1994 hit for Mariah Carey. Due to legal battles that lasted decades, neither Ham nor Evans saw the enormous royalties the song produced during their lifetimes.
