hullsoul Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Gladys Knight, Curtis Mayfield and GillScott Heron But you've got to sit through Elton John & Rod Stewart to get to them Cheers Martyn 2
Godzilla Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 But you've got to sit through Elton John & Rod Stewart to get to them Cheers Martyn Not to mention bloody Lindisfarne. Get yer 'air cut! 1
Jaco Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Thought Elton was pretty good. Liked that early stuff. But then you get Bowie, Vinegar Joe, New York Dolls, Dr Feelgood, Patti Smith et al. All whilst we were grooving to Kenny Gamble.
Jaco Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 That David Byrne. He wasn't a full shilling was he? Enough of that. Gladys was just beautiful, Curtis was immense and Gil was cool. It needed Nils Lofgrin to close it out though. 1
Guest Matt Male Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I thought it was pretty good. Lots of music that influenced what was to come. ...and I like Lindisfarne.
Dave Pinch Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 excellent music...could done without rod stewart tho 1
Labeat Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 You can bet 90% of viewers would prefer the non Soul artists so i think we are in a minority. 1
KevH Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 That David Byrne. He wasn't a full shilling was he? Enough of that. Gladys was just beautiful, Curtis was immense and Gil was cool. It needed Nils Lofgrin to close it out though. Love David Byrne,Talking heads etc...True Stories,enjoyed that in the 80's but not seen it since.
Godzilla Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I thought it was pretty good. Lots of music that influenced what was to come. ...and I like Lindisfarne. Horses for courses. I liked lots of the non-soul stuff: Talking Heads, New York Dolls, Tom Petty, Patti Smith, Dr Feelgood etc. Lindisfarne made me feel a bit sick though
Westender Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Only caught part of it, the dreadful New York Dolls through to Tom Petty, so only saw G S-H. That was good, though. Reminded me just what a great track Johannesburg is. Liked BM & the Wailers. Of the rock acts Argent were tops with me but I do have a bit of a soft spot for them. You could tell when the miming stopped around 1974!
Stateside Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Interesting fact about Gill Scott Heron's dad being the first black player to play for Celtic! Kev
Guest son of stan Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Watched most of this. Obviously Gil Scott Heron, Gladys, Wailers, etc highlights and switched off and went to bed when we got to late 70s. But I thought most of the music was pretty good, tbh and certainly a lot more depth and feeling than these lame, public school 'career' type rock bands you get these days! Also anyone else think it's kind of ironic that the 'post-punk' style of music has dragged on unchallenged for nearly forty years, whereas the original 'dinosaurs' got barely ten? Lol! Maybe I am getting old! Edited June 7, 2015 by son of stan

Kev Cane Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Out of the stuff worth watching and listening to I only caught Curtis, it was fantastic to see and hear that distinctive and beautiful Curtom sound in all its glory blending with the genius that is Curtis Mayfield. Kev
