JamesJazGuitar Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I love the song Check to Check and was glad to see the song got some attention after Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett recorded it. Here is a version from Mundell Lowe; I took a few lessons from him. Very nice man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of copacetic tune that I'd listen to gliding along Pacific Coast Highway on a brisk Spring day, in a cute, convertible compact -- the free, fresh wind in my hair, life without care -- and with an even cuter, more compact California Blonde -- deliciously redolent of Coppertone and sea breeze perfume -- cool 'n kickin' it by my side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, Dick Hyman was really big in the music business; Woody Allen loved the guy and used him to score many of his films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't listened to every Springsteen song. For me, the track stands out because it doesn't sound like the other Springsteen tunes that I have heard. IMO, it sounds as though "The Boss" and the producers on the album were deliberately shooting for Top 40, Tops of the Pops success. Springsteen's first two albums, IMO, don't have the "Glitz," "Flash," and "Grandiosity" that won Born to Run mass appeal, boosted Springsteen to superstardom, and which makes it sound like more like a majestic anthem than a plain, ol' rock song.

First time I read about him, the story was accompanied by a photo of Pop all bloody because he had mutilated himself with, I think, a razor blade. Anyway, thanks for I Wanna Be Your Dog, which I recall having heard before now. It certainly suggests that Pop is a seriously twisted head case with an inferiority complex and masochistic tendencies.

Millstone, and the idea of Iggy goes something like this: Iggy looks at the crazy-axx shenanigans of live Jim Morrison and thinks "If he can do this with a number one song on the charts, hell, I can get away with murder!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGGY understood instinctively where Rock was rooted and headed and presaged it all, including Punk. "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is from THE STOOGES first album which is DUMB, HILARIOUS, compelling, and mostly very listenable. It is not perfect, but the first album is superb.
