@nukeworksdigital Goodbye and good luck!

@eblackadder3 Thanks for the correction. The "goodnight" performed by Paul and Wings was an entirely different song with "goodnight" in the title, and I thought of this after posting! Thanks again.

@darlenejoy2 I thought they were equally GREAT renditions by two totally amazing voices of our (or any) time! Linda Ronstadt is one of the very few single acts that I ever saw in concert that I thought was worth the trip. I saw her in the 1970s at an outdoor arena at Mesker Park in Evansville, ...

Very, very underrated cajun rocker! One of a kind.

Just amazing, the details of the trials and tribulations of one of the truly great (albeit sad) stories of rock history. This six-part YouTube story should be required reading for anyone interested in the REAL Badfinger. JulieSpecial3 you deserve high praise for putting this on YouTube for all...

While I generally agree 100% with everything Thom Hartmann espouses, in this case, I believe Professor Velloney is correct. The "victim" here was a terrorist trainer, a person who had, by his actions, rejected citizenship in the U.S. That being the case, and due to his inherent danger to our na...

Amazing! This song is about 30 years old and gets more air play today than it did when it was originally released! I understand that Tom Cochrane and others are touring again as Tom Cochrane and Red Rider. Truly one of the greatest of the lesser known Canadian groups, right up there with April ...

I've an older version done by Patti that I like better (also live). Nothing wrong with this one either, and my earlier recording is audio only, so don't get to see the great, great Patti Smith! My favorite version is actually the Grand Funk recording on the "Caught in the Act" album. Live music...

Many years ago, while employed as an insurance adjuster in the Springfield area, I came upon an accident and parked to take photos of the scene. The police were already there, and told me immediately to stop taking photos. I advised my employment as an adjuster, and that I might actually receiv...

Hard to believe Alison Krauss used to be just a cute little fiddle player with enormous talent! Then she grew up and got this great voice to go with her fiddle playing!

That rare combination: a trooper who can sing!

It's just amazing that Steve Winwood has been singing like this since he was 14 years old! From the Spencer Davis Group, through Traffic, Blind Faith, and collaborations with every major musical talent around, the one constant is the vocal performanes of Steve Winwood. He make them all better!

Last time I heard Dylan sing this was at Live Aid, and it wasn't this good! It seems that these days when Bob Dylan sings, he is just "toying" with his songs. I much prefer to listen to his older recordings, don't you?

During her still-brief career, Pink has become one of the greatest music personalities ever! Her singing has matured soooo much. This is just a great performance.

Probably the closest to a well-played, well-sung song this group ever did! It's hard to believe they still exist (they really do). If Guns 'n' Roses hadn't had any talent this is what they would have sounded like! Did I say they suck. I had almost forgotten about this weak band, now I have to...

Only the second "compilation" by OHAD122 that I've viewed. These are GREAT, and only someone who has tried this can imagine how difficult it is to do these right! Thanks and keep them coming!

Absolutely the finest "cover" ever promulgated at an "Awards" show! Melissa Etheridge is as talented a performer as you'll find living today, and Joss Stone, while still a youngster in this video shows great promise. I saw Janis do this song live, and think she would be very proud to share the ...

They were great, and then there was disco!

I notice on the 45 it says this was recorded in Central City Kentucky, a true hotbed of early rockabilly, and region of the Everly Brothers!

Great piece of history here! Sonny West was definitely one of the true pioneers of rock, and underappreciated except in the region where he performed most of his music. Helluva songwriter too!

Since when does great music care what side of the ocean it comes from. This is great music, and fans overseas agreed. Music from Great Britain, often is great too. Again, it doesn't depend on WHERE it is made, just BY WHOM.

JT, Really liked the video. Good luck. I thought it was especially neat that you had the pic of your grandmother, Wendy, at the begining on your laptop!

Roy Orbison himself once described Don McLean as "the voice of the century", and Orbison incorporated elements of McLean's version in later his own later recordings of the song. I mention this solely for the benefit of those who have been comparing the version here with Roy Orbison's earlier rec...

In their early years, Uriah Heep was certainly a great live band. Their earliest "live" album; however, was not so well-produced. The version here of Lady in Black is as good as was ever done PERIOD. It should be noted that the only original member here was Mick Box (guitarist). There are always...

This was one of the really great songs from Free, and it's done amazingly well by these guys (not really amazing considering the talent here). I've got an old recording of Free live that I keep in storage for just the right time, and get it out now and then to remind me just how "Bad" these guys...
