misswonderly3 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks, db, I didn't know Dion had done a version of that song. And a lovely version it is, too. Here's another, this one performed by Tim Buckley (who was Jeff Buckley's father. Both of them died before they should have.) I appreciated Dion's interpretation, but I have to say, maybe just because this is the one I heard first, the Tim Buckley cover is the one I swoon over. He just draws out the lucious sweet quality of the melody so, and he sounds so sad. No matter who sings it - and of course Fred Neil recorded it too, after all, he wrote it - "The Dolphins" is a heart-breakingly beautiful song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGZ3YNUVYTU (Funny, I've been meaning to post this for ages here, but it took db's drawing attention to Dion's version as the catalyst for me to finally do so.)

darkblue Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I suppose we should really give a listen to the original by Fred Neill. The first time I ever heard it is when it was used to nice effect in episode 74 of 'The Sopranos'. The complete version is available on youtube, but for sound quality this partial-song Sopranos clip is the best. Truth is, I hadn't thought about the song for some time until watching this episode.

DownGoesFrazier Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The most underrated soul singer ever is Bobby Womack. I suggest "I Can Understand It" and "Across 110th Street". If you don't like these, you've got a hole in your soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Beethoven's Symphony Number 8, first movement. If you don't like this, you have a hole in your soul.

DownGoesFrazier Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Another great underrated soul song from an already underrated artist: Curtis Mayfield's "If There's a H e l l Below, We're All Going To Go" Edited by: finance on Sep 4, 2013 6:19 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Old business---We've talked about the Pretenders. Their third best song, after "Message of Love" and "Mystery Achievement", was "The Adultress". Edited by: finance on Sep 10, 2013 9:44 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottman1932 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 You're right, Sans, it is a cute little video. While this isn't a fox (speaking or not), it is a fun tune by the Everly Brothers. "Bird Dog" : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansFin Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I believe the name of this song by George Thorogood and the Destroyers is quite appropriate for the species portrayed in the video portion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkblue Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Great song, finance! From the same album, I always loved how the lyric to 'Misunderstanding' was such a throwback to so many songs of the early-mid 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkblue Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Johnny's vocals were certainly at peak when he recorded that sweet piece. Outstanding job. Although, Sarah's jazzier version is the one I would listen to more repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 *One Touch of Venus* ! I remember catching this odd little fantasy completely by accident -never even heard of it, just randomly turned on TCM one day and there it was, just beginning, too. Once I saw that Robert Walker was in it, I was hooked. I don't know if it's a particularly good film, but it's a charming one, and certainly fun escapist entertainment. Change of pace: I will confess to a guilty pleasure I'm indulging in these days: catching up on the television series "Mad Men". Right now I'm -er, the show, I mean - is in 1965. This tune came out that year. It's not used in "Mad Men", but still, Donovan captures, if not the wind, at least some of the "change in the air" mood that was happening that year. (And yes, poor Mr. Leitch, everyone accused him of copying Dylan. You can see why, but Donovan soon developed his own sound well enough to move away from the Dylan imitation accusers. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I would never call Mad Men a guilty pleasure. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the finest tv shows ever shown on TV. Brilliant scripts, brilliant cast, just plain BRILLIANT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Glad you think so, lavender, baby. You're right, there's no reason to feel guilty about being completely enamoured (as I am) with this fantastic show. So smart, so well-done, so...so...addictive ! (I keep renting all the seasons on DVD. I'm just about to rent season 5.) Great music on the show too, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
