It was in May of 1974...I had just made love to my girlfriend the night before and we woke up to this song on the radio the next morning...I'll never forget it...a magical moment and I loved her so much.

It's a great song and the arrangement is surprisingly soulful when it gets into the insrtumental part...the rise of the strings and then, that sweet acoustic guitar solo followed by that screaming alto sax solo! The major 7ths and the suspended/resolved 5ths! Ugh! Tears in my eyes and a crippling...

Her show of emotion at the end is (certainly) what was written into the song when Curtis took his pen and created it. There is so much depth in it...it's not just a song, it's a testament to the beauty that can be when the content of the lyrics is followed by all people. Maybe someday, it will. A...

Heavens Gate is a work of art albeit, a little too long. To ask art (it) to translate itself into cashflow is like asking sliced prime rib of beef to make of itself a ham sandwich. It could've been done better, for sure and it should've been managed better by the studio. What passes for movies no...

Boy George was different - with all the makeup/dress and his projected ambivalence of sexual preference.. in all of that he was a great talent. Culture Club was great rhythmically and their songs were very soulful. My fave is "Time...Clock of the Heart".

As Steve Howe, the virtuoso guitarist of YES once said..."...if you're a musician, you ARE music.". I'm a musician; the picture to the right is the cover to my CD, Google it and listen to it and you'll see what I mean. You can buy it from cdbaby.com.

This is my favorite carol, and the Mormons can...

If you saw/heard this as it was used in the PBS two-part series, THE MORMONS

you would have a further appreciation for its mood and theme. No other group of people suffered hardships as intense as they did their first year(s) in the Salt Lake Valley...there was nothing there except desert. Brigha...

@bestfire2004 I was just 20 (August 5th) when this album first came out. I remember where I was the first time I heard "Light My Fire" on the radio...in my car sitting at a red light...don't know how I made it home that night. I played this album many times a day for a year.

If anyone is interested in a song from the point of view of Emma Smith who, having had intense fears that her husband, Joseph Smith would be murdered should he travel to Carthage jail then, google: Allus Cats for the CD - 'Tis Of Thee, go to the Napster site on the screen and click...it's song 3....

@waotress69 Remember, Santana's got a producer who helps make decisions as to who sings on his records. The format is: Take a great legend, get him to agree to use current, popular hot artists in his sessions and the radios will gush them out with plenty of air time...a great formula...and it's g...

@sitarro55555 It's nonsense to critique any musician who has reached a level of playing that meets the requirements of the music they play. Carlos plays latin/jazz/fusion/pop...I guess. He plays too much lead

in this video and on the studio version of this song while she's trying to sing. That's ...

Go to Kansas, cruise along the interstate and look at how long those vistas are and you'll get the feeling in this song.

This song is pure genius because no one ever wrote one like it before Jimmy Webb wrote it for Glen Campbell. It was somewhat of a sequel to "Phoenix" but it stood on its own as an individual idea and with very unusual chords and accents. Thank you, Jimmy Webb...James knew it too.

It's good to know that he's lived through his blue days. Queen of Hearts is his very best song. Saw him in Cincinnati in summer '74 on his Laid Back tour - live strings, girls, horns - great. At his best, he'll go into history as one of the greatest artists, ever in blues and rock. Practice makes...

@AllusCats

I meant to say that I've played a Hammond B3 for years (used to visit an old friend, Timmy Hedding, from The Dapps, at the Inner Circle in Cincinnati [Danny Toler knows the place] before I got my first one...a great instrument which, Gregg niether overplays nor underplays. "Toy organs...

"Batchelor of young wife science" - that's funny and so true at BYU, especially. My daughter, Kaydee and the lead singer here could be sisters. I attended BYU in '68/'69. One year...all I could take. Love the geographics but, too unreal, if you're not over-the-top in your head about the church, w...

@colorod0 There's not a person listening, who knows the musical structure of this song who would say that it's "I'm So Glad". They are not the same. Yes is using similar chord changes but, that's due to the fact that "Yours Is No Disgrace" uses jump changes to the 4ths. Once they're into the act...

6/8 time and this girl is so smart to have chosen this wonderful Lionel Bart song from the play, OLIVER. This musical, on the night it opened had 16 curtain calls after the last note of music and deservedly, so. Sophie...I love you...just a little lees afecct and you're there. You have it all. Lo...

There's absolutely no way that a good singer can go wrong with a song like this...Burt Bacharach is a genius, without any doubt. The proof is in the fact that many singers have sung this song and sounded great. The opening Hammond organ part in the intro I've played many times in bands and couldn...

I saw it at the theater with my brothers when it came out in 1956...we went every Saturday. Even then, I could tell this was a better movie than the B's. The song, "Lorena" at the beginning, a Civil War tune loved by the Union and the Confederates, alike then, "Bonnie Blue Flag", a strictly Confe...

This song should be played on all Yes shows...it''s a good one. Maybe there are copyright conflicts with Tony Kaye?

This is a great song written (I think) by the wonderful songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot. This is the long, drawn-out version...probably done so becasue of the occasion of Woodstock which, for all of its inconvenience and rain and excessive drug use must have been remarkable. I would never have gone ...

@Tombstonefuckers It was only a simile used to express a feeling...not stupid at all.

I like what that guy said about independent artists...I'm one myself...got a CD on the net - ' Tis of Thee...just google my username and there's lotsa sites and samples of it. Recording another one this year for a spring/summer, 2011 release. Thanks, everybody. Yea, for the digital age 'cause the...

@fessrat I bet I'm your age (62). I get so turned off when I read comments like yours...putting down young people from your self-placed, snobby, high-toned perch. If you're such a music expert then, show us where on the internet we can hear samples of your music. Got a CD? I have. Google my user...

This type of song will always hit...because it has really nice chords and it talks about looking back at the good ol' days and someone good in our life that we should've held onto. That is always appealing...well... not always but, don't you remember someone who treated you well and is gone?

BYU...I wouldn't have thought that the school would have allowed this. I went there in 1968/69 and it was the most cramped year I ever spent...except for meeting my friend, Kyle whom I have remained friends with to this day...that's because he's a drummer and I'm a keyboardist and we meet where t...

@capfan1 If you're still young, keep your heart alive and in it...songs like this are what new love is made of. I used to go out every time I played in my band 30+ years ago and look for this very thing to happen...it happened...many times, and, every time it did it was really exciting. Even now,...
