Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "Sixties Instrumentals Primer" (Article)
Friday, August 22, 2014
THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY This was a number two hit for Hugo Montenegro back in 1968, it was a cover of the original theme from the flick done by Ennio Morricone. Yes, it's strange, but the sixties were full of instrumental hits, and when this broke most people had no idea who Clint Eastwood was, it was only after this that we started to hear about spaghetti westerns, Clint didn't break through big in American films until the seventies, so this certainly wasn't a hit on his coattails. Many boomers can whistle the riff, just ask them! NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE (YOUR STOMACH'S IN) The original

The Mamas and the Papas (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
The Mamas and the Papas were a major part of the Southern California pop scene of the mid to late Sixties. Along with the Byrds, the Beach Boys, the Turtles and the Association, they bombarded the Top Forty with superbly produced folk-pop songs delivered with lush harmonies. What made the Mamas and the Papas stand out was the mix of male (John Phillips, Denny Doherty) and female (Cass Elliot, Michelle Phillips) voices. Combined with sharp songwriting and arrangements from Phillips and musical contributions from some of Los Angeles' finest session musicians-especially drummer Hal Blaine

ABBA (Article)

Agnetha Fältskog (vocals; born April 5, 1950); Benny Andersson (keyboards; born December 16, 1946); Björn Ulvaeus (guitar; born April 24, 1945); Anni-Frid Lyngstad (vocals; born November 15, 1945)ABBA rose out of Sweden in the Seventies to become one of the most successful and beloved pop groups in music history. Their success gave a more international flavor to popular music, broadening it beyond the English-speaking countries of origin. ABBA truly was an international phenomenon, topping charts and breaking records in England, France, Italy, Germany, Holland and Scandinavia. For a few years

Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "Top Ten - Week Ending June 26, 1965" (Article)
Friday, June 26, 2015
1. "Mr. Tambourine Man" The Byrds Folk rock. A new sound with the old melody and lyrics of folk married to rock guitars, a hybrid that snuck up on the Brits and caught them unawares. You've got no idea what a revelation it was to hear this sound on the radio, just ask Tom Petty! Of course the song was written by Bob Dylan, but at this point most people did not know this, even though they were aware of his previously most famous composition, "Blowin' In The Wind," albeit done by Peter, Paul & Mary. But that would change soon, with the release of the iconic "Like A Rolling Stone" shortly

The Folk Box: ‘the kind of album that changes lives’ (Article)
Wednesday, April 23, 2014
by Ted Olson The Folk Box is the kind of album that changes lives—I know this because it changed mine, assuredly for the better. And over the years I have heard that The Folk Box played an important formative role in the lives of many other people. About the time I was learning to stay upright on a bicycle (1967), I discovered my parents’ record collection, which contained a host of titles—classical and jazz, mostly—that held little appeal to a six-year-old. But one album captured my interest—a thick box set with an appealingly rustic, unpretentious front cover. Somehow that cover spoke to me

Lynyrd Skynyrd (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Mention the term "Southern rock" and two bands instantly leap to mind: the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. They defined the genre in its Seventies heyday and beyond, and both bands are still active entities. But whereas the Allmans were deeply steeped in blues and jazz, Lynyrd Skynyrd more freely embraced rock. Their three-guitar lineup gave them an uncommon musical muscle, while their down-to-earth songs spoke plainly and honestly from a working-class Southerner's perspective. Theirs is one of the most dramatic tales in rock history. The saga of Lynyrd Skynyrd has unfolded in an almost

Led Zeppelin (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Inductees: John "Bonzo" Bonham (drums; born May 31, 1948, died September 25, 1980), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards; born January 3, 1946), Jimmy Page (guitar; born January 9, 1944), Robert Plant (vocals; born August 20, 1948)Combining the visceral power and intensity of hard rock with the finesse and delicacy of British folk music, Led Zeppelin redefined rock in the Seventies and for all time. They were as influential in that decade as the Beatles were in the prior one. Their impact extends to classic and alternative rockers alike. Then and now, Led Zeppelin looms larger than life on the

Donovan (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Donovan (vocals, guitar; born May 10, 1946)Donovan was a key figure on the Sixties music scene during its creative explosion. A sensitive Celtic folk-poet, singer and guitarist with an adventurous musical mind, he wrote and recorded some of the decade's most memorable songs, including "Catch the Wind," "Sunshine Superman," "Mellow Yellow" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man." He charted a dozen Top 40 hits in the U.S. and a nearly equal number in the U.K. His songs have been covered by hundreds of artists, notably Jefferson Airplane ("Fat Angel"), Al Kooper and Stephen Stills ("Season of the Witch") and the

Interview: Bobby Elliott of The Hollies (Article)
Tuesday, September 23, 2014
There aren’t a lot of bands that can claim to have been around for a full five decades – that’s half a century, people – but The Hollies can, thanks to Allan Clarke continuing to fight the good fight ever since founding the band with Graham Nash back in 1962. (Actually, Clarke and Nash had played together prior to that, but it was in ’62 that they first called themselves The Hollies.) Although Bobby Elliott can’t claim to have been there at the very, very beginning of the band, no one can say that he hasn’t been around the block a few times with them, having come aboard in August 1963. As the
