Arthur Lee & Love - Five String Serenade/Somebody Watching You.


Arthur Taylor Lee (March 7, 1945 – August 3, 2006) was an American musician and singer, known as the frontman, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of the Los Angeles rock band Love, best known for their critically acclaimed 1967 album, Forever Changes.

                                          Five String Serenade

 This was the last major album Arthur made before taking a called third strike and finishing out the century behind bars for waving a gun about in public. Recorded in Los Angeles in 1992, released on the French New Rose label the following year, it contains some of Lee's most affecting work, from the minuet stateliness and melancholy of the title track — which has been covered by Mazzy Star and the White Stripes (Lenny Kaye)


  "Somebody's Watching You" frames Lee's look over his shoulder in a setting that's two steps down the Strip from the Seeds (Lenny Kaye)

                                    Arthur Taylor Lee (March 7, 1945 – August 3, 2006)
Finally released from jail after seven years, reunited with Baby Lemonade, he returned to the fore and gave rapturously-received renditions of his body of work before he passed on in August of 2006. He was no stranger to comebacks. "I never went away," he told me when we met. And still hasn't.

Gloria - The Last Seven Days

  "The Last Seven Days" is een nummer van de Nederlandse band Gloria. Het nummer werd uitgebracht op hun debuutalbum Mea Semper Gloria Vivet uit 1969. Dat jaar werd het nummer uitgebracht als de eerste single van het album.

"The Last Seven Days" is geschreven door zanger Robert Long in samenwerking met John Möring en Karel Hille en geproduceerd door Möring en Bobbie Graham. Het nummer was vooruitstrevend vanwege het gebruik van een wah-wahpedaal, waarmee basgitarist Hoss van Hardeveld zijn partij inspeelde.Het was de eerste keer dat deze methode in de popmuziek werd gebruikt

Muddy Waters at Newport 1960

           

Muddy Waters was one of the most popular blues artists of the 1950s.[Beginning in 1948, he had fifteen singles that appeared on the Billboard Rhythm & Blues Records chart. His debut album, The Best of Muddy Waters (1958), contained twelve of his hits. However, by 1960, what had been the traditional blues audiences were moving away from Chicago-style blues towards the more polished R&B and soul sounds.Chess released Sings Big Bill Broonzy (1960), a collection of Muddy Waters' interpretations of songs by the blues musician Big Bill Broonzy.
                                             

                                                                Hoochie Coochie Man

 When he performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, his electric blues band consisted of Otis Spann (piano, vocals), Pat Hare (guitar), James Cotton (harmonica), Andrew Stevens (bass) and Francis Clay (drums

                                                   Put Tiger In Your Tank

 The gig was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 3. The day before, performances by Ray Charles and singing group Lambert, Hendricks and Ross were met with unruly crowds. About 300 drunken revelers made a commotion during Charles' performance and the police responded with teargas and water hoses. The riots became so out of control that the National Guard was called in at midnight to calm the crowd.

                                             I  Feel So Good

When Waters and his band arrived on the scheduled day, they intended to drive back on the next day, until driver James Cotton saw John Lee Hooker standing at a corner, his guitar on his back without a guitar case. Cotton said Hooker should get into his car to get the musicians out of harm's way. At the same time, the city council decided to cancel the concert, but concert promoter George Wein convinced them when he said that the United States Information Agency (USIA) planned to film the festival to teach American culture in other countries.[

                                                    Got My Mojo Working         

Before Waters' performance, his band backed Otis Spann, who was the band leader, and John Lee Hooker. At about 7 p.m., Muddy Waters entered the stage, wearing black, while the rest of the band wore white suits. At Newport 1960 opens with then-unreleased "I Got My Brand on You", which was recorded one month prior, and "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man", both written by Willie Dixon. Next are the Big Joe Williams cover "Baby Please Don't Go", Oden's "Soon Forgotten", Dixon's "Tiger in Your Tank" and Broonzy's "I Feel So Good". 

 

At Newport 1960 is a live album by Muddy Waters recorded during his performance at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 3, 1960. With his longtime backup band, Muddy Waters plays a mix of his older popular tunes and some newer compositions. Chess Records released the album in the United States on November 15, 1960

Gravy Train - A Ballad of a Peacefull Man

Gravy Train was a progressive rock group from Lancashire, England, formed by vocalist and guitarist Norman Barratt in 1969. Also featuring J.D. Hughes (keyboards, vocals, wind), Les Williams (bass, vocals) and Barry Davenport (drums), the band would record four studio albums. The first two were released on the Vertigo label, the remainder by Dawn Records.

(A Ballad of) A Peaceful Man is Gravy Train's second — and probably their most praised — album, released in late 1971. Unlike their heavier debut, this album sports some lovely string arrangements, provided by Nick Harrison.
