What are you listening to?

[William Dobson]

Both Ladies of that band are such great singers. I still love the B 52`s.

You are a man of consummate taste Floid_Maniac.

Sun is shining, birds are singing and the table is set for a late Sunday breakfast.
Time to listen to some Johann Pachelbel.


Johann Pachelbel
Baptised September 1, 1653 – buried March 9, 1706, was a German composer, organist, and teacher who brought the south German organ tradition to its peak. He composed a large body of sacred and secular music, and his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque era. Pachelbel's music enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime; he had many pupils and his music became a model for the composers of south and central Germany. Today, Pachelbel is best known for the Canon in D, as well as the Chaconne in F minor, the Toccata in E minor for organ, and the Hexachordum Apollinis, a set of keyboard variations.

Thanks for the info as well.

Holy shit! Dynamite!

 

[Boru62]

Holy shit! Dynamite!

Funny you should say that. When I first heard his version of Satisfaction, I thought it was shit. Four or five listens later, I thought it was dynamite.

I thought the same when I first listened to his Album Otis Reading Sings Soul Ballads. This song does it for me, it use to give me goosebumps the first few times I heard it. He has such a raw voice and great range, a great shame he died so young.

 

[Floid_Maniac]

John Peel`s favourite song.

What a beautiful song. Thanks.

The State of Georgia produced a bunch of great ones. Besides Otis there was Little Richard, James Brown, the genius of Ray Charles, Gladys Knight and Curtis Mayfield. Must be something in the water. The B 52's and REM also hailed from the Peach State.

Great track, and you've hit the nail on the head.
It was the Stones version of this track which made me seek him out:

John Peel`s favourite song.

Mr. Peel did so much for upcoming bands, and The Undertones wrote some great power pop/new wave songs.

Was listening to Live '79 in the car the other day, probably the best version of Spirit of the Age.
