JJ Cale - Magnolia
John Weldon "J. J." Cale
(December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer,
and songwriter. Though he deliberately avoided the limelight (being
temperamentally averse to celebrity)[2] his influence as a musical artist has been widely acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton, who described him as "one of the most important artists in the history of rock".He is considered to be one of the originators of the Tulsa Sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz.

James Brown at the Olympia,Paris, 26 nov.1967 (update)
James Joseph Brown (Barnwell, 3 mei 1933 — Atlanta, 25 december 2006) was een Amerikaanse zanger. Hij was een van de belangrijkste muzikanten van de 20e eeuw en had een belangrijke invloed op de ontwikkeling van gospel en rhythm and blues in soul en funk. Zijn bijnaam was de "Godfather of Soul".
Thats Live
Brown zou geboren zijn in Barnwell (South Carolina) in 1933, maar sommige bronnen noemen 1928 als zijn geboortejaar en Pulaski (Tennessee) als zijn geboorteplaats. Hij groeide op in een bordeel, in de crisisjaren '30 in Augusta (Georgia). Op 16-jarige leeftijd werd hij veroordeeld voor een gewapende overval. Na drie jaar werd hij op voorspraak van Bobby Byrd vrijgelaten op voorwaarde dat hij zich niet meer in Augusta zou laten zien en dat hij een baan zou zoeken. Na een korte sportcarrière in boksen en baseball zocht hij zijn heil in de muziek.
Kansas City
Hij was vier keer gehuwd; achtereenvolgens met Deidre Jenkins, Velma Warren (1954 - 1969) en Adrienne Rodriguez. Dit laatste huwelijk hield twaalf jaar stand, tot z'n vrouw in 2002 overleed. In dat jaar trouwde James Brown een laatste keer, met Tommie Rae Hynie.

Gedurende zijn carrière heeft hij veel muzikanten beïnvloed. In de jaren '60 werd hij door andere artiesten geïmiteerd. Halverwege de jaren '70 verlieten diverse muzikanten zijn band en gingen meer de funkkant op, à la George Clinton. In de late jaren '70 en jaren '80 was Brown een inspiratiebron voor rap, breakdance en hiphop, dj's als Grandmaster Flash gebruikten veelvuldig samples van Browns werk.

The Eagles - Tequilia Sunrise
"Tequila Sunrise" is a 1973 song written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, and recorded by the Eagles. It was the first single from the band's second album Desperado.[2] The song peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Glenn Frey and Don Henley did not write songs together for their debut album Eagles, and they decided that they should collaborate after they had finished recording the debut album. According to Frey, he was lying on a couch playing the guitar, and came up with a guitar riff he described as "kinda Roy Orbison, kinda Mexican". He showed Henley the guitar riff and said: "Maybe we should write something to this." The title refers to a cocktail named Tequila Sunrise that was then popular.
The Tequila Sunrise is a cocktail made of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine syrup and served unmixed in a tall glass. The modern drink originates from Sausalito in the early 1970s, after an earlier one created in the 1930s in Phoenix, near Scottsdale. The cocktail is named for its appearance when served, with gradations of color resembling a sunrise.
