Another star with whom most of our parents were more familiar than we are....

I found out about That Singing Rage's demise last night from my mother, who lives in Oklahoma. Miss Page was from Oklahoma, so it was all over the news there. I think everyone of my generation associates Patti Page with "Doggy in the Window", if at all. My mother, though, immediately mentioned "Tennessee Waltz.

Rick Huxley. I didn't realize so many members of The Dave Clark Five were gone.

Heard that this a.m. on radio. Ten Years After was my very first rock n roll concert.

Thanks for the video. The native Americans shooting bows and arrows from bicycles is hilarious.

He is probably best known outside of the francophone world for having written 'Milord' for Edith Piaf at the beginning of his career.

At least in the Anglosphere - much of his more "typical" work is well-known in Spanish, Portuguese and of course Greek. 'Le Métèque" is obviously very Greek in its melody and accompanying instruments: www.dailymotion.com/video/x1lt3v_georges-moustaki-le-meteque-1969_music#.UaJPuuvtT-YAvec ma gueule de métèque De Juif errant, de pâtre grec Et mes cheveux aux quatre vents Avec mes yeux tout délavés Qui me donnent l'air de rêver Moi qui ne rêve plus souvent Avec mes mains de maraudeur De musicien et de rôdeur Qui ont pillé tant de jardins Avec ma bouche qui a bu Qui a embrassé et mordu Sans jamais assouvir sa faim Avec ma gueule de métèque De Juif errant, de pâtre grec De voleur et de vagabond Avec ma peau qui s'est frottée Au soleil de tous les étés Et tout ce qui portait jupon Avec mon cœur qui a su faire Souffrir autant qu'il a souffert Sans pour cela faire d'histoires Avec mon âme qui n'a plus La moindre chance de salut Pour éviter le purgatoire Avec ma gueule de métèque De Juif errant, de pâtre grec Et mes cheveux aux quatre vents Je viendrai, ma douce captive Mon âme sœur, ma source vive Je viendrai boire tes vingt ans Et je serai prince de sang Rêveur ou bien adolescent Comme il te plaira de choisir Et nous ferons de chaque jour Toute une éternité d'amour Que nous vivrons à en mourir Et nous ferons de chaque jour Toute une éternité d'amour Que nous vivrons à en mourir

Goodbye, J.J. Cale. It seems strange now, but he was the first singer who surprised me (I was quite young) with the idea that one can sing freely about totally illegal things. It had not occurred to me before.
