"I'm Mandy fly me," "Wall Street shuffle" "Art for arts sake" worth a mention too but I won't post anymore clips, the yanks may get upset, they are not up for another 3 or 4 hours. Don't worry TheVat no more Kate Bush.
Well for now that is, I've still not had breakfast.

Graham Gouldman wrote this for the Hollies.

Gouldman wrote a couple of Yardbird tracks, here's one. He also wrote, "For your love."

I was lucky enough to see him play this that he wrote, Herman's hermits made it famous.

This was a great track, lead vocal I always assumed was Eric Stewart but it's Stuart Tosh from Pilot.

I did not know he was the drummer, very cute bass line.

LoL. Yes, she is tres cute, it was only the video style and choreographing I was dismissing. Will listen to the 10cc tracks, it's still early in the North American mountain time zone and am helping get the spouse off to her morning gig and accommodating a house guest.

Good song. Both that and Long Cool Woman were huge hits in the US. Tons of airplay. I still play LCW on the kb, on occasion.
And I'd forgotten 10cc did The Things We Do for Love. That was probably my favorite of theirs. Reds in My Bed also sounded familiar (and not just because that title makes me think of the similar line in The Kinks "Destroyer,").

Ok TheVat you have made a decent observation and conclusion, you are a clever chap, amusing and very respectful.
However, in 1978 I was 11 and Kate Bush was a somewhat weird and wonderful adult to me. I was not an adult, I wanted to kiss Lisa Bagshaw who lived across the road because I think she liked me, she was ten.
When the family moved I was very upset. I was just on the verge of asking her to be my girlfriend.
Anyway my sex life aside, I had never heard anything like Kate Bush before but the tunes grabbed me, the chords even though I had no idea about structure/technical.

I was certainly obsessed in 1980, no internet, just the vinyl. Headphones, lying on the bed and going to another place. Like Yes, Led Zep, Deep Purple.

Dave who started but eventually left this thread, beared his soul. The mods dealt with that with patience, not just on this thread.
Shame, I liked him.
If he comes back? There are always good guys.
Cheers Dave, I didn't come here for music, a little is ok tho.

While I play nothing, (musical instruments that is) cannot sing! (got thrown out of every choir at school) I have always had a wide ranging taste in music...light classical, C+W, pop, rock n roll etc, my all time favourite singer is Nana Mouskouri who is now 90 years old and obviously retired.
I discovered her actually when I was crewing a British registered three masted barquentine from Cristobal, (Panama) across the mighty Pacific back to my home in Sydney town.
At this time in my life, as an old fart, I surround myself with my music mainly from the fifties and sixties. My only distaste is heavy metal and rap. (sorry fellas!)
While sucking on a can of VB yesterday I came across this bloke. He predates rock n roll and held his own with the likes of Frankie Sinatra, Dean Martin and Perry Como. My first girl friend was enraptured with him.

Obvious? Maybe. Tony Bennett gave his last public performance at age 95, with a duet with Lady Gaga. Just sayin. (though it seems like aging male voices get a little more leeway than female, which doesn't seem quite fair)
The Johnnie Ray clip is interesting, partly due to my having heard him referred to in Come on Eileen, by Dexys Midnight Runners.
Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them?
