I'll start the thread with Jeff Buckley's dad, Tim.

Amazing voice - met a tragic end in his 20's, just like his son did....

Before you comment - PUT ON YOUR EARS ANd LISTEN




Dolphins is such a beautiful tune ...

I just love the early Jamaican bands.

The Gaylads is an unfortunate name - it meant something different back then

Who does't like a bit of Joy in the Morning!

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Legend has it, Delroy nailed this recording on the first take.

Great track - and guys! - women love this music!!! - put it on when you are entertaining and you can't lose

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Poor sound quality, but a great track and piece of history...

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

More history ....... Yoko is on some good acid

It don't get much better than Eddie..... wrote his own songs, would have been as big as Elvis if he didn't die in a car crash at 21..

Joey always loved the classic rock'n'roll hits. He once said his biggest influence was the Beach Boys..

I just love The Heptones.

I made this video for a laugh using simple Mac movie editing software. I was playing it in my car, and just could not stop thinking of Trump when it was on --- the rake in his his hand is because of his comment about 'raking the forests' after forest fires in the US..... (also, notice the small hands which I shrunk ) ...it's a great song, anyway..

^ Beck is cool. I owned one of his records which I really liked, but scratched it up on an opium binge back in the 90's. Glory days ...... (thanks for the input!)

music for the elderly -

I'm not that old. Always liked music from my dad's era, since I was a kid.

Getting back to the Jamaican stuff..

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

How can you not love Carlton and the Shoes..

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

That be white boy music, but I like it!

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

OK, last of the old Jamaican stuff for a while. The reason I love (and are fascinated ) with these artists is because they were poor. Living in the ghettos. They recorded in shitholes with low quality equipment - but their passion comes through, and if you really listen, you can feel their talent. They never made any money. Nobody knows much about them - but they had massive amounts of talent ................ many of the songs from Jamaica were later recorded by white artists and made famous.

It was just so sweet and dandy..
