I just watched a video yesterday of Tom Jones talking about his association with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Pretty cool stuff, wish I could find it now. He said even after Zep started to take off, JPJ was still playing on his sessions. Page played guitar and harmonica on his first single (among other things).

My mom loved him, so I grew up hearing plenty in the 70s (on Parrot Records). What a voice! Cool guy too. I don't seem to recall any scandals involving him in all these years.
.

My parents like his records also. I was shocked to see (maybe in a PBS special) that he was into blues music to the extent he was. It took a bit to get used to, but he was great!

Mike Reno, singer of that other Canadian band Loverboy, felt ill during a gig and handed the mike over to a fan in the audience towards the end of the set. I mean what could go wrong even if it went wrong? There was always the chick backing singer to prevent the worst.

But her help wasn't needed.

This is Dick Dale live in 2017, 3-parts with Rumble - Pipeline- House of the Rising Sun. This is about a year and a half before his death.

I just love Sam Bolle's bas carrying the tune solo in House....even with the incredibly bright strings, the way Dick liked them.

RIP, Dick!

I don't like the way he changes the cadence and in the video over acts (he's shaking his head no a full line early before he says 'not coming home').  It's hard to take a Cohen song and take even more pis and vinegar out of it.

My favorite version of ToS , obviously, is going to the one by The Jesus and Mary Chain.

That CSNY collab is pretty good though, somehow, counter-intuitively.  They're really meeting in the middle on that one; both of them a bit out of their element (tough young looks real into it.... or high.... or both).

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (drummer and bassist of Deep Purple, Jake!)

How long did I need to preach here before finally someone says SOMETHING!!! I had given up and accepted that Yanks simply "don't get" their own countrymen.

Sounds like a Neil Young sound check.  :popcorn:

But that distinctive nasal vocal sound is missing!
