    For me, the greatest Rock guitarist of all time was Jimi Hendrix. Man he didn't just play the guitar, he made love to it. He could play it with his teeth, his tongue, behind his back, above his head. He smashed it, burned it and jumped on it when he was spaced out. The closest anyone came to him was Jim Morrison of the Doors.
    Pity that the majority of Rock artists died because they overdosed.
    The latest casualties are Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston. George Michael, Mick Jagger and Boy George to name a few, are lucky they haven't gone the same way yet.
    A very good afternoon to you Didditmiself
    It a 'labour of love,' actually the real task was from another time! A time when we only had casssetes and vinly lp's. I can recall the task of trying to write down lyrics using the play and then pause button and if you didn't quite get it, the rewind button. With mp3, this task is so much easier!
    I hold Cliff Richard in high regard because he never used drugs, never promoted the use of drugs, he was never an alcoholic, he was never in the media for the wrong reasons, he never used a vulgar or swear word in any of his songs yet he sold more than 200 million records and he never made a fool of himself in public. He remains a good, clean role model.
    His songs by and large were love songs..he made his mark on mankind!!!


    "Over a 54-year career, Richard has become a fixture of the British entertainment world, amassing many gold and platinum discs and awards, including three Brit awards and two Ivor Novello awards. He has had more than 130 singles, albums and EPs make the UK Top 20, more than any other artist[7] and holds the record (with Elvis Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its first six decades (1950s–2000s). He has achieved 14 UK No. 1 singles (or 18, depending on the counting methodology) and is the only singer to have had a No. 1 single in the UK in six consecutive decades: the 1950s through to the 2000s (discounting digital downloads and counting only CDs, he had a UK No. 1 single in the 2000s)."[1]

    Indeed Blurock! Carlos Santana was another outstanding guitarist. I particularly remember Oye come va!

    A high five on that one! Yes Cliff is one of the few artists that remain as squeaky clean as anyone can. Pity though as I said , fame and fortune often lead to their unhappiness.

    Carlos has also recorded his version of another Beatles song - While my guitar gently weeps on his album Guitar heaven. Other notable numbers on this album are Little wing (Jimi Hendrix),Can't you hear me knocking (Rolling Stones) and Sunshine of your love (Cream).

    Vanash, I would like to get a CD of some of the pop songs currently enjoyed by Indian youngsters eg. Mr Kandasar, Derri Merri, Vishte Nate, Jen me Je. I realise I have probably not pronounced the titles properly, but since you live in Lenasia, you might have family that can identify what I'm looking for? Thanks in anticipation!

    You know, I do my Indian community a great discredit in that I don't understand even one of the many rich Indian languages. That said, I will speak to a few people I know who are in a position to identify those songs!
    I'm glad you've given me an opportunity to make a once off 'bollywood,' music video post, but it will be a very special one, one that actually has a story and one that promotes racial and cultural intergration and diversity..will do so in the next post....

    In memory of Nazia Hassan: 3 April 1965 – 13 August 2000
    In dedication to all women who lost their lives to cancer
    “Aap Jaisa Koi”
    “The flower for Spring and Spring for the garden. The heart for a heart, the body for a body. Each desires the meeting of a body and soul..”
    I’m not going to pull a Bollywood on you, I promise! In the spirit of cultural diversity and celebrating our differences, I’ll make this one post of an Indian song. I do my Indian community a great disservice in that I understand not even one of the several rich Indian languages.
    1. In 1980, Nazia Hassan was 15 years old! She was a teenager yet she released a song that sold millions of albums. The song was used in the 1980 Indian movie ‘Qurbani,’. The songs name is Aap Jaisa Koi. She was one of a few Asian females that appeared on BBC in 1981. The footage of Nazia Hassan herself singing this song is very, very, very rare and can actually only be found at one link:-http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00nbwmv

    2. In the Movie Qurbani, the song is lip synced by an actress. The movie was way ahead of it’s time as the stage actress was dressed in a sexy and appealing manner and so were her fellow female singers! There were White people in the audience; the singing entourage consisted of a Black drummer. This was in 1980!!!
    3. In 1980, I was in grade 1 and Nazia Hassan was a teenager about 15 years of age when she made this hit song! The song was played on a regular basis in Lenasia between 1980 and 1983.
    These are not my lyrics, I can’t vouch for their authenticity, I googled it!
    I proudly give you ‘Aap Jaisa Koi,’(Remember this was in 1980!!!!!)


    “Movie Name – Quarbani
    Year – 1981
    Song - Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
    Actors - Zeenat Aman, Firoz Khan
    Singer - NAZIA HUSSAIN
    Composer – Biddu”[1]



    “English Translation of the Song Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye from Movie Quarbani is in Red Color.”[2]

    “Lyrics of the song Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye from Movie Quarbani.”

    “Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
    Someone like you should come into my life

    To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

    Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
    Someone like you should come into my life

    To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great


    Phool Ko Bahaar, Bahaar Ko Chaman
    Flowers need Spring, Spring needs garden

    Dil Ko Dil, Badan Ko Badan
    Heart needs heart body needs body

    Har Kisiko Chahiye Tan Ka Milan
    Everyone wants physical relationships attachment

    Kash Mujh Par Aisa Dil Aapka Bhi Aaye
    I hope wish that your heart will also feel like this for me

    To Baat Ban Jaaye Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

    Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
    Someone like you should come into my life

    To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

    Maein Insaan Hoon, Farishta Nahin
    I am a human being not a messenger of god or angel

    Dar Hai Behak, Na Jaun Kahin
    I fear that I may go out of the control

    Tanha Dil Na Sambhlega
    Lonely heart may not stay in control

    Pyar Bina Yeh Tadpega
    Without love heart will suffer

    Aapsa Kahan Hai Dil Aapko Hi Paaye
    No one is like you; My heart only wants to reach you

    To Baat Ban Jaaye Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

    Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
    Someone like you should come into my life

    To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

    Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
    Someone like you should come into my life

    To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

    Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
    Someone like you should come into my life


    To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
    It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great”[3]

    Forever Young: Alphaville: 1984
    This singular song describes my general attitude in life! I think the sentiment is ‘body grow old, heart remain young and strong!”


    Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
    Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
    Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
    Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

    Let us die young or let us live forever
    We don't have the power but we never say never
    Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
    The music's for the sad men


    Can you imagine when this race is won
    Turn our golden faces into the sun
    Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
    The music's played by the, the mad men

    Forever young, I want to be forever young
    Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
    Forever young, I want to be forever young
    Do you really want to live forever? Forever young

    Some are like water, some are like the heat
    Some are a melody and some are the beat
    Sooner or later, they all will be gone
    Why don't they stay young?

    It's so hard to get old without a cause
    I don't want to perish like a fading horse
    Youth's like diamonds in the sun
    And diamonds are forever

    So many adventures couldn't happen today
    So many songs we forgot to play
    So many dreams swinging out of the blue
    We let them come true

    Forever young, I want to be forever young
    Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
    Forever young, I want to be forever young
    Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?”

    Just a cool old song I like,

    Blue Oyster Cult "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll"

    My heart is black, and my lips are cold
    Cities on flame with rock and roll
    Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
    My ears will melt, and then my eyes

    Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
    Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

    Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights
    Reins of steel, and it's alright
    Cities on flame, with rock and roll
    Marshal will buoy, but Fender control

    Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
    Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

    My heart is black, and my lips are cold
    Cities on flame with rock and roll
    Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
    My ears will melt, and then my eyes

    Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
    Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
    peace is a state of mind

    Tec0, you know how we often talk about a 'good all rounder,' in cricket? This song epitomizes that!
    Blue Oyster Cult "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" is a good all rounder! I like it!
    Some nice imagery here:-Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights, Reins of steel, and it's alright, Cities on flame, with rock and roll. Marshal will buoy, but Fender control." It ignites the though process1 Noone can rightfully say that just anyone can write like this. This song is nice on the ear as well.The drum and guitar work that introduces this song is really something else!!! Very well composed song delivered very smoothly!

    I proudly give you:"Blue Oyster Cult "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll"

    On a lonely, dusty road
