bazooka Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 That's just a couple, but there are many more. I've got a million of 'um Ain't That A Bitch ; You Can Stay But The Noise Must Go --- Johnny "Guitar" Watson. The Original ‘Gangster of Love’ Slip Sliding Away ; Don't It Make You Want To Go Home ; Walk On The Wild Side -– The Persuasions ... a cappella Magicians !Alone Again Or ; Seven And Seven Is ; She Comes In Colors -- Love. Arthur Lee’s band has somehow been overlooked by Classic Rock radio.Feelings -- The Grass Roots. This is an idiosyncratic personal favorite. Grass Roots’ repertoire is a very mixed bag, ranging from near bubble-gum pop hits (Midnight Confessions , Temptation Eyes ) to hipper numbers (Where Were You When I Needed You , Let's Live For Today , and a cover of Dylan’s Ballad Of A Thin Man ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAR Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Mississippi - "Where in the World" - "Before the Little River Band" album. This song had many of the elements that would make future LRB singles big hits. It's very rare and not available on any CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopdawg Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 "Greenberg, Glickstein, Charles, David Smith & Jones"--the Cryan Shames, circa 1968; got a lot of airtime on WLS in Chicago. I bought the album--which contained the original "Get Together," covered the next summer by the Youngbloods--but I've long since lost the record & now can't find that song anywhere.

Uncle Joe Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 How about: Love Has No Pride - Bonnie Raitt - just a great vocal Liked all of your songs, Phil but Love Has No Pride is simply awesome. That song could easily be her signature song. (Or Linda Ronstadt's who does a nice version, too). Then there's Linda's, "Long, Long Time". Two songs that put a giant lump in my throat whenever I hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_n_white Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Together ~ Cheryl Dilcher Lakeshore Drive ~ Aliotta, Haynes, Jeremiah Chicken Train ~ Ozark Mountain Daredevils Oh man.I forgot about the song Chicken Train.Had some friends who played in a band in the early 80's and they would play that song off the album during one of their breaks.Everybody got in a train line that went through the club and made chicken noises.Too much Jack Daniels makes you do a lot of things.

Lucky Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Thank you! Someone else remembers this. You must be from the midwest. My friends and I would go nuts with this song (yes, jack was probably there), ringing around a campfire, Bwawcking away like loons... or chickens as the case may be.

Heard It On The XM Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 On the B side of the "Go Your Own Way" 45 was the little-known song left off of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours called "Silver Springs." I loved that song so much that I had a friend of mine, who worked for a record store called Licorice Pizza, pick up a copy for me at a trade show. The dust cover was in Japanese. I still have that 45, although I no longer have a turntable. The song has since been re-released as a live version on The Dance, but there was something so magical about that hard-to-get song back in the day... it remains my favorite song of all time. The original version was also released on Fleetwood Mac's 1992 boxed set 25 Years: The Chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heard It On The XM Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 The studio versions of "Ridin' The Storm Out" by REO Speedwagon and "Do You Feel Like We Do" by Peter Frampton. "Storm" was originally sung by one of REO's band members (I forget which one), not their usual frontman Kevin Cronin. I've only heard the original "Feel" once, about a year ago on XM's Deep Tracks channel. Alas, no talkbox in that version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Pa Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I had both of they'er albums back then (on LP's). lent them to friend(no longer a friend)who just wanted to make cassette tape copies... I later learned (after not hearing from him for a time), that he moved to Hawaii. Apperently he sold those two albums, and made enough to make the move... Stupid me........ I guess they where worth alot more than I thought..... But live and learn.. stupid, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
