Rock N Roll Birthdays
I thought I would start a new thread of Rock N Roll birthdays. I know I posted Eric Burdon's birthday yesterday but thought it would be kinda cool to have a thread dedicated to these. Feel free to add whenever you know of one.
I will start out with today's...
Steve Winwood turns 61 today (LOVE him!!)

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Another musician (although not a rock'n'roller) born on May 12 is Burt Bacharach. He's more famous for songwriting than singing, but for those who don't recognize the name, he wrote What the World Needs Now, Alfie, (They Long to Be) Close to You, Always Something There to Remind Me, I Say a Little Prayer, Do You Know the Way to San Jose, Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do), That's What Friends Are For, and On My Own, among others.
Here's a medley from 1967.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
No problem Soda--You know all things Rock n Roll are my passion and I love doing these kind of "tribute" things to the people involved in it. I just hope I'm not boring everybody with it.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
You're not boring me Willie - I just don't have the patience to look up birthdays - even of my faves! Glad you're keeping track!
-
Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
I like this thread and appreciate you keeping track, Willie. Unfortunately, my time on the board has been very limited here lately and I don't always have time to respond. But ...
Happy Birthday to all of you rock 'n rollers!!!!

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
This thread is is not boring, it is interesting, I read him very well and look in addition the most of the videos too.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Willie, I had heard about Dusty Hill on Tuesday on the radio, and was trying to remember to post it when I got home...but then promptly forgot. One day, I'll get one posted before you! I just don't know how to post a video, though.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Happy Birthday to one of my favorite female singers!:cheers:

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Love her--what a class act she is!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVIE!!!!
I told Soda on the phone yesterday I didn't figure I would be posting this birthday that I would leave it up to "someone else". :hilarious: She did a great tribute!
-
Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Happy Birthday Stevie, and thanks for the videos Soda. Fleetwood Mac is my 2nd favorite 70's band.
And TBF, thanks for keeping up with this thread. I missed Bernie Taupin's and Bob Dylan's birthdays, so a very happy belated birthday to them as well. Geez, it seems impossible to think Dylan is 68 years old.
And OMG, Bernie Taupin, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Nicks all having birthdays so close together - three true rock 'n roll icons to be sure.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Good one today.
Michelle Phillips of the Mamas And The Papas turns 65 today.

Out of curiousity---California Dreamin', when they get to this part...
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
Got down on my knees
how many of you sing the next verse as "and I began to pray"? It's actually "and I pretend to pray". I just found that out in the last year and was very surprised. I really thought it was began not pretend.
Just a little trivia.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Good Catch Willie! Like you, I've always sang that using "began to pray".
Very significant song for me. Back in 1966 or 67 I had volunteered for the Army and had failed the physical and had nothing planned for that possibility! I mean NO ONE failed the Army Physical unless they had a missing limb or something!
Anyway, I had taken a job in a furniture factory building cabinets for Television Sets (Curtis Mathis!) It was noisy in there with all the saws and planers. I was sick of Arkansas and things were happening in California. I'd sing that Mama's and Papas song all night long dreaming about getting a motorcycle and making the ride to the West Coast! I should have been thinking about the saws I was operating because about the time I got to "got down on my knees!" I almost chopped two fingers off on a radial arm saw!
Fingers were salvaged with some skin grafts and the Dr. must have done a pretty good job....left hand and I can still sort of play a guitar. Hmmm, never thought about it before, maybe that's why I can't play fast <LOL>
Never did make it to California but that song remained one of my favorites. And I've always sung it wrong.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Thanks for posting these songs TBF, I like both songs since I heard it for the first time!
-
Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
Re California Dreamin' I've always known it's 'and I pretend/pretended to pray'. (It should really be 'pretended' as its past tense.

Re: Rock N Roll Birthdays
