OT: The Old, the Obscure, and The Forgotten - Round 2

[Scud49]

Danny Kirwin's "Sands of Time" - heard it on on Sirius Sat radio's "Deep Tracks" this morning. The album it's from, "Future Games", is 50 years old next year, so it's old. I'd say pretty obscure too, but is one fine piece of music:

Going along on the Fleetwood Mac route, there is this (now) rare gem. Oh well parts one and two

 

[Ozimoto]

Guess I can't insert two videos in the same post.

Here is my favorite Santana song that you don't hear anymore.

 

[Scud49]

Fifty years on now- the album Abraxas and Singing Winds, Crying Beasts - Santana at their spacey, pulsating, rhythmic finest:

 

[Scud49]

Time for a little old Rolling Stones - and getting a bit forgotten too I think - Little Red Rooster:

 

[j66kicker]

John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards (on bass), Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer)

 

[Scud49]

Some of the instrumentals from way back when were awfully good:

 

[Hope]

industrial metal on speed

This is not obscure or forgotten but I thought it was appropriate to post today which is the 50th anniversary of the tragic shootings at Kent State.

 

[Scud49]

It's old now and getting obscure too - but what a great rocking performer and tune:

It might be old, maybe a little forgotten, but not obscure. Like this version done by Sara Bareilles.



This a quote from Sir Elton himself: "I was so blown away by the version of Yellow Brick Road. I've never heard anyone sing one of my songs like that ever. I can't thank you enough, giving your time and blowing my mind with that version. Because when someone sings your songs they usually copy you and she made it her own. That's brilliant--it's a hard song."

 

[Kaizen]

A magic dark song from a magic sad voice. How many people remember Billie Holiday?

 

[Kaizen]

A super talent jazz singer ...

 

[Bigboote]

Here's something reasonably new and obscure. These guys are a Singaporean post-rock band. This is the first thing of theirs I heard, and I was captivated. I own everything they've recorded now.

Listen to a lovely dog and an old lady Malinda Herman ...

From paralysis to internet fame, Thai ‘Hipster Grandma’ opens up about why she sings | Coconuts

Internet fame may have found Malinda Herman, but it is absolutely not why she started making covers of her favorite songs. To the 69-year-old, singing brought joy and confidence back into her life after a tragic accident turned it upside down. From Poland to America, the self-identified...

The Walker Brothers - their style and delivery always reminded me of the Righteous Brothers - but kinda old and forgotten now it seems:

 

[MSGRET]

Another cover by Sarah Bareilles of an oldie.

 

[Scud49]

Speaking of the Righteous Brothers, they are not forgotten of course, but I think this particular incredible tune of theirs is slipping into obscurity somewhat:

 

[Bigboote]

Here's beauty in simplicity from Eno:

This is not obscure or forgotten but I thought it was appropriate to post today which is the 50th anniversary of the tragic shootings at Kent State.

So terribly sad. A very dark day in my life. I was in school in Meadville, Pa. We were 100 miles away from Kent, but our campus felt the anguish profoundly.

 

[Bama fan]

It's old now and getting obscure too - but what a great rocking performer and tune:

Get up from out your chair!

 

[Bama fan]

This caught my ear today. I was 12 when it came out in 1963 , and I was in love with a girl that summer! Too bad she did not know me. We would have been magic together. The Tymes were from Philly and this was their first hit, #1 here and in the UK.

A group called The Staves cover The Boss. They are a barrel of talent.

 

[nwhoopfan]

A group called The Staves

I was guessing they are siblings, looked them up, sure enough. Nice blend they get.

 

[Hope]

Victoria Legrand, vocals

 

[Hope]

I think that's Fred Astaire

 

[uconnfan68]

Some of the instrumentals from way back when were awfully good:

I can hear a little Quicksilver in there...

I was in Navy boot camp when this happened. I couldn't believe the reactions. Precursor to today's divisions.

Neil Larsen, pretty much unknown to most over the past few decades, but boy he put out some great jazzy instrumentals over the years:
