Hi
Kent:
Just an
FYI, I will be on Live Friday Night at approximately 6 PM, on Dewey’s Corner

looking for material to feature …
A

Gilbert O'Sullivan Talks
Returning to U.S. Stages for First Time In 43 Years
Tom Cuddy
I’ve
been reading about some of his European shows and thought this might be a fun
one to see … but didn’t think he’d ever really come back to The States. I remember back in the day he was never a fan
of live performing and, as I recall, he didn’t have the vocal power to pull it
off. He was always much more at home in
the studio in a controlled environment where he didn’t have to push himself
vocally.
But
yes, I would LOVE to see him should he decide to follow thru on this! And The City Winery would be the PERFECT
place to showcase his music. (I was a
VERY big fan back in the day … played his first four albums constantly!) Thanks, Tom!
(kk)
Here are your Pick Hits from Ballot #3 …
Top Ten Vote-Getters:
#1 – Band On The Run
– Paul McCartney
#2 – Bad Moon Rising
– Creedence Clearwater Revival (I knew this one would be big … but didn’t
figure it to be the biggest! It fell
just one point behind McCartney!)
#3 – Baba O’Reilly –
The Who
#4 – Baker Street –
Gerry Rafferty
#5 – Badge - Cream
#6 – Baby Blue –
Badfinger
#7 - Back In The USSR
– Beatles
#8 – Ballroom Blitz –
Sweet (I wouldn’t have expected this one to finish this high)
#9 – Bad Time – Grand
Funk Railroad
#10 – Barbara Ann – The Beach Boys
Nice Surprises:
Be My Lover by Alice Cooper (it’d be nice to hear this one
once in awhile!)
Beautiful Loser – Bob Seger (one of those rare Bob Seger
song that hasn’t been over-played to death … a nice switch up now and then)
Beach Baby – First Class
(based on the voting we’ve seen thus far, classic rock fans accept The
Beach Boys … and, apparently, even the FAKE Beach Boys!)
Because – The Dave Clark Five (only two DC5 songs got nominated … but fans
would like to hear “Because” and “Catch Us If You Can” every now and then … and
I’ll betcha we could make a pretty good case for a few others, too. FINALLY Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame members,
it may be time to re-evaluate their catalog for classic rock airplay. I think
Classic Rock fans today an appreciate where a lot of this music came from … so
we’re seeing more early rock and roots artists earning votes in our poll thus
far.)
Beds Are Burnin’ – Midnight Oil
Baby Come Back – The Equals
(Eddy Grant also got nominated for “Electric Avenue”)
Baby Don’t Go and The Beat Goes On by Sonny and Cher …
artists we NEVER expected to see on our Classic Rock list … yet between these
two tracks, they now have 99 points … that ought to be enough to get somebody’s
attention!)
Baby Driver by Simon and Garfunkel (always one of my favorites … but maybe even
more popular now, thanks to the movie of the same name released last year)
Baby It’s You by Smith
(out-polled The Beatles’ version 5 to 1)
Back Door Man by The Doors (again, not one you hear every
day)
Back Of My Hand by The Jags
(one of our suggested tracks that really took off during this special
poll)
Back To The Island by Leon Russell (one you used to hear by never hear anymore)
Back When My Hair Was Short by Gunhill Road (now with 28 points, people remember this
time-reflective piece and would enjoy hearing it again)
Bad Is Bad by Huey Lewis and the News (one of my favorites
by them … and evidently one of your favorites, too … a nice, bluesy feel to a
typically very “pop-sounding” band)
Keep those votes coming in … a new ballot will be posted
every morning at 5 am Chicago time thru August 19th!
