What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?
Clarence Spady .. an incredible talent whose career, unfortunately, was hampered by drug use in his early days. "Nature of the Beast" (his 1st album) is my favorite. IIRC you can find him on Spotify. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Spady I’ve seen him live several times .. brilliant. |
@n80: it is simply amazing to me that the moderator would delete that clear reference to a John Cleese/Monty Python quote yet leave both of mine. Don’t even get me started on what the social media cupcakes think is offensive these days - the same people who then post the most vile hateful responses/posts to any article. So much hypocrisy and double standards abound today. I agree, so much of the classic and innovative comedy of the 60s and 70s is being lost in this uptight world we live in. |
Fela Kuti is famous all over the world but I had never heard of him. I discovered him on some "best music of all-time list". The song they had on the list, Zombie, was listed as from a video game. I was surprised and had to investigate. It was like finding a pot of gold when I heard the catalog of Fela Kuti albums. The Bob Marley of Africa. I ended up buying about 6 or 7 albums from him. Just a giant in terms of talent. Another guy whose back catalog I discovered yesterday was Todd Rundgren. Growing up I knew the 2 or 3 songs played on rock radio. But with TIDAL I was able to see this dude is supremely talented. The albums from 1970 - 1973 are awesome. |
@fmpnd In the moderator's defense, I did not put it in quotes _and_ the post was flagged by another member who found it offensive. So it was probably a member who did not realize it was Monty Python. I am flattered that some member thought that I had thought up that insult! Anyway, back to the music. |
