Old school music is cool!

[Blurock]

Of course no-one could play this Vanilla Fudge number better than the Flames. A number of Cape Town bands covered it late sixties and into the 70's.

[pmbguy]

This is my kind of travelling music

Sometimes I wish I was born in 1947...in the US

[cyppokagain]

not that old school but still good thoughts

[pmbguy]

Hey Cyppok the second, are you a Ruski in the big apple?

[cyppokagain]

Hey Cyppok the second, are you a Ruski in the big apple?

More or less depends on my mood.
I just thought those were good for the vibe, nature/calmness.

This is very old school, classical but I like it sometimes.

[Blurock]

A Bach-inspired song which in 2004, Rolling Stone placed No. 57 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. (Wikipedia) Notable recordings by Annie Lennox and Joe Cocker. I still enjoy playing this number although it is getting harder to reach the high notes. Nothing that improvising cannot cover...

Ryan Paris: Dolce Vita: 1983: Lyrics and original Video



I’ve had an opportunity recently to experience some of the latest tunes available. I still prefer the old school classics, they simply far more meaningful.

“We're walking like in a Dolce Vita
This time we got it right
We're living like in a Dolce Vita
Mmm, gonna dream tonight
We're dancing like in a Dolce Vita
With lights and music on
Our love is made in the Dolce Vita
Nobody else than you

It's our last night together with our love again
Another light before we drown in darkness
Say you'll never leave me now
Say you're gonna love me now

We made it down in the Dolce Vita
Wipe all your fears away
We'll live it like in a Dolce Vita
A game of yesterday
I'm so alone in the Dolce Vita
Oh baby, telephone
This magic's gone in the Dolce Vita
Nobody else than you

It's our last night together with our love again
Another light before we drown in darkness
Say you'll never leave me now
Say you're gonna love me

It's our last night together with our love again
Another light before we drown in darkness
Say you'll never leave me now
Say you're gonna love me now.”

This song was written by Neil Diamond (he liked chicken?) We preferred to play the Deep Purple version.

This was a favourite at gigs and was covered by many bands. Stil play it today.

Just Can’t Stop: Don Carlos:
A call to priesthood…..

You won’t find these lyrics of Don Carlos’s Just can’t stop anywhere in cyberspace except for right here simply because it exists no- where else in cyberspace

“He was born and raised in Western Kingston, Jamaica in a very deprived district known as Waterhouse. Many talented reggae artists such as King Tubby The Jays, Junior Reid and King Jammy are also from this area. Don Carlos began singing in 1973 as a member of Black Uhuru. He sang alongside Garth Dennis and Derrick Simpson the leader of the trio.^[2] Don played a key role in the recordings of the highly acclaimed Love Crisis album, produced by Prince Jammy in 1977 which was later re-released as The Black Sounds of Freedom. After some time finding his sound as a soloist Carlos blossomed in May 1981 releasing the heavy cultural roots album Suffering for Negus Roots.

He has since become very popular in the live scene and has released twelve solo albums working alongside Gold, his backup vocalist and co writer. Some of his most notable albums include Harvest Time, Day to Day Living and Them Never Know a Natty Dread were released in 1982. Spread Out also released in 1982 commonly known now as Laser Beam had many fan favorites.”[1]

“The road is long but yes I know, I got reach the end,

I tell you, I’m weary and tired but I got to reach the end!
I can’t stop to rest! Cause I have broken away from captivity
Very soon I know THEY will be after ME,
SO
I just can’t stop, no I just can’t stop I can’t stop to rest
I’ve got to be FREE, got to reach the borderline
GOT TO REACH THE BORDERLINE where I’ll be free

I proudly give you a very therapeutic song: Just can’t stop

Bob Marley and the Wailers: Keep on moving: 1971: Lyrics and Video




“Lord, I've got to keep on moving
Lord, I've got to get on down
Lord, I've got to keep on moving
Where I can't be found
LAW, they're coming after me

I've been accused for the killing
Lord knows I didn't do
For hangin' me, they are willing, yeah, yeah
And that's why I've got to get on through
Lord, they're coming after me (a-one more time)

(I say) Lord, I've got to keep on moving
Lord, I've got to get on down
Lord, I've got to keep on moving
Where I can't be found
Law, they're coming after me

(Now, listen) I've got two boys and a woman
They're just gonna suffer now
Lord, forgive me for not going back
But I'll be there anyhow
I'll be there anyhow (one more time)

(I say) Lord, I've got to keep on moving
Lord, I've got to get on down
Lord, I've got to keep on moving
Where I can't be found
Law, they're coming after me

Now, maybe someday I'll find a piece of land
Somewhere not by near anyone
Then I'll send for my love, love, love, love, sweet woman
And my two grown up son
My two grown up son (yeah, yeah)

(I say now) Lord I've got to keep on moving.”

Bob Marley and the Wailers: Stand Alone: 1971: Lyrics and Video

“ We call ourselves the Wailing Wailers, cause we cry so much in our lives.” Bob Marley



“There you are, crying again
But your loveliness won't cover your shame
There you are, you're taking' true love
And while you're taking' true love, you given the blame

(How could I ...) Could I be so wrong
To think that we could get along?
Days I wasted with you, child
If I count there'll be a million or two
Now I stand alone through the memories
That haunts me, that haunt
Yeah, and I walk alone through the rhapsodies
That taunts me, that taunts me, me
There you are, crying' again
But your loveliness won't cover your shame
There you are, you're taking' true love
and while you're taking' true love, given the blame

(How could I ...) How could I be so wrong
To think that we could get along?
Days I wasted with you, child
If I count there'll be a million or two
Now I stand alone through the memories
That haunts me, that haunts (... me)
And I walk alone through the rhapsodies
That taunts me, that taunts me
Now, there you are, crying' again
But your loveliness won't cover your sham-ame, hey
There you are, you're taking' true lo-love
While you're taking' true lo-love, given the blame

(How could I ...) How could I ...”

Bob Marley and the Wailers: I shot the sheriff:1973: Lyrics and Video

“I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! All around in my home town,
They're tryin' to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

Oh, now, now. Oh!
(I shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.
(But I swear it was in selfdefence.)
Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!
I say: I shot the sheriff - Oh, Lord! -
(And they say it is a capital offence.)
Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!

Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
For what, I don't know:
Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow -
He said kill them before they grow.
And so:

Read it in the news:
(I shot the sheriff.) Oh, Lord!
(But I swear it was in self-defence.)
Where was the deputy? (Oo-oo-oh)
I say: I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self defence. (Oo-oh) Yeah!

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say:
If I am guilty I will pay.

(I shot the sheriff,)
But I say (But I didn't shoot no deputy),
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(I shot the sheriff.) I did!
But I didn't shoot no deputy. Oh! (Oo-oo-ooh)

Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be:
Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
One day the bottom a-go drop out.
I say:

I - I - I - I shot the sheriff.
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy. Yeah!
I - I (shot the sheriff) -
But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! No, yeah!”
