SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE FAMILY AFFAIR II - MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL

Sly and the Family Stone - Family Affair Original track montage vid

SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE (not "Stones" as the marker pen weilding record company flunkey seemed to believe (see shot one!)) FAMILY AFFAIR Montage

Sinead O'Connor - Sacrifice

Frank Sinatra - Autumn Leaves

To photomontage ....

Autumn Leaves JAPT Montreux 1975... Ella Fitzgerald & Co...

This ain't the version I'm familiar with ... but hey ...

I of II



II of II

Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald - You're the Tops

Wow! This was a find...

Nat and Natalie Cole - Unforgettable

Edith Piaf - Autumn Leaves

Wow doesn't she bring her unique vocal "turn" to this disc??

I got this one at home (not on 78, on CD)

Nat King Cole - Autumn Leaves

NAT KING COLE - AUTUMN LEAVES This I think is perhaps the best melody he ever sung...

Pete Doherty - Dream a Little Dream of Me

As performed kind of on spec at Filthy Mc Nasty's in London

Barbra Streisand - Somewhere

This is that famous West Side Story (?) song ... reinterpreted and put in outer space ...

Also probably the only thing approaching a proper pop video (ie not just film of her performing live or recording in the studio) she's ever made...

Mado Robin Sings "B6"

That's the B over (six notes higher than) top C... I post this here because I stumbled across some tripe online about Mariah Carey being the greatest singer ever... Which as readers of my regular blog will have seen rather wound me up... Mariah Carey, world's greatest vocalist??! I'm afraid that is simply not true. Though Mariah Carey can reach D7 (ie 2 notes higher than B6) her top notes are nowhere near as radiant as this lady's voice, which considering the pitches she's hitting, is fresh and clear as a mountain stream

The Autumn Moon On A Placid Lake

I have a traditional Cantonese music CD of that name... and this is the closest I could find to it on youtube

Nat King Cole - Mona Lisa

in full wondrous technicolour!

Is this shot on true film? Looks that way. Surely video from that age wouldn't have given anything nearly as lovely a picture...

Bryan Adams with Celine Dion (live) Everything I Do...

(I do it for you)

Sorry but I have to say this... what on earth is she wearing on her bottom half?? In Britain in the 1970s we had porn magazines that didn't show that much..!

Louis Armstrong (Satchmo) Wonderful World Illustrated

This is a homemade stills vid but it illustrates the song perfectly

Louis Armstrong ("Satchmo") Wonderful World Live on TV

Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand - Tell Him

Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman - Something Stupid

Reprising Frank Sinatra's classic... hasn't Nicole Kidman got a nice voice? Far nicer than Beyonce/that woman from Newleyweds who played Daisy Duke/the other melange of American nothingness that diarrhoeas our charts

Barbra Streisand - A Piece of Sky

In this clip from Yentl, she plays a Polish Jew en route emigrating to America

Bryan Adams Barbra Streisand - I Finally Found Someone

Hamster Dance

Don't know the artist's name but that is the name of this track

Glenn Miller - Moonlight Serenade

SURELY, MORE THAN ANYTHING else this tune is World War II? (To me it is, far more than anything by Dame Vera Lynn.) I've been wondering what this tune is called for ages ....

... and now I know...

Free Hugs Berlin 10/2/7 by Sigur Ros

I've found lots of Sigur Ros on the Blogosphere

found this one at Bluez0628's blog

Leftfield - Release the Pressure

Leftfield's Leftism is one of the supreme albums of the 1990s... it's as inherent to the decade as Pink Floyd were to the 1970s and this track opens that classic album

Enya - Watermark

Watermark was the first Enya album I ever got...

Enya - Exile

Although this music reminds me of being extremely depressed alone in a Norwich flat, living off toast and marmelade sandwiches and warming myself by a potato-waffles-style gas fire, I still think this is a top floaty, spacey tune

Enya - Angels

Enya - The Celts

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black vid

Original promo vid

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

That hen-night classic! And here it is in full "original promo vid" 1979 glory!

Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer For You

Live from the Cliff Richard Show, (UK) 1970

Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer "rare live version"

Barbra Streisand - Left in the Dark

I've never heard of this song b4 ... and don't you think she ought to have had the director shot for that shot of her nose in silhouette? I honestly thought it was a Spitting Image production until a closer look and it was indeed actually her ... hmmm... well, here goes:

This isn't very good. In so many ways. You have been warned::~

Amy Winehouse With Jules Holland

Jules Holland is a BBC musical staple of "worthy" rocksy bluesy folksy music with "cred"

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black - Joes Pub NYC

LIVE!!

Amy Winehouse - Rehab - Live on Letterman

She carries on the way she's currently going she's gonna have to say yes to rehab or she'll join the rock-'n'-roll early grave hall of fame ... which is no great achievement. It is sad. Clean up, Amy!

Amy Winehouse - In My Bed Live

Courtesy the AOL Sessions

Amy Winehouse - Me And Mr Jones

This is live concert footage. Sorry the quality of sound and picture isn't too hot... I included this as it evokes that "authentic" life performance feel...

And isn't she a professional. Wow!

Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good

Original promo vid (not live)

This is the second single from her second album Back to Black

Heineken Technophonic Dance Party

Madonna - American Pie

Don McLean - American Pie

1970s (colour) TV (live) performance ...

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

Black-&-white 60s TV (live) performance ...

Dolly Parton ~ Jolene

The song is an autobiographical pleading to a real Jolene not to take away Dolly's man... who has stayed with her for decades by now... recently, according to the National Enquirer, she declared onstage that she sometimes wishes Jolene had actually run off with the old fart!!

Barbra Streisand - Places That Belong To You

This is a sung version of the theme tune from the 1991 movie Prince of Tides

Barbra Streisand ~ Hatikvah

This happened in the 80s: why else the comedy haircut..?!?

Barbra Streisand - The Way We Were

Doesn't she look like Amy Winehouse's lost sister..?

What is it about Jewish girls and singing..?

This one's got one hell of a voice on her ::~

Amy Winehouse - F- Me Pumps

There really is a whole generation of young girls whose only ambition is to be footballers' wives ..!

Amy Winehouse & Charlotte Church ~ Beat It

This was extracted from Charlotte Church's show on Channel 4...

Notice how bemused she appears to be by Amy's rather bizarre rendition::~

Say Say Say (Justin Timberlake & Usher)

This is a fan video. Original soundtrack sung by Paul MacCartney and Michael Jackson but video spliced into a performance by Justin and Usher...

Eddie Murphy with Michael Jackson ~ What's Up With You?

Eddie Murphy seems to think he is Prince. But ho-hummmmm...

Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson - Say Say Say

Paul McArtney wrote this. It's so much better than Michael Jackson's attempt at a riposte: the dreadful "Girl is Mine" Ukk!

Rockwell (feat. Michael Jackson) - Somebody's Watching Me

Yes! Michael Jackson himself provides guest vocals!

But only (strangely) because "Rockwell" happened to be the son of Michael Jackson's old record company boss ...
