The FORGOTTEN chronicles

I'm a bit bummed tonight for several reasons , nothing serious , but I do want to do a show tonight on some rare and forgotten songs. Some of these were big , one hit wonders , others were regional so you might Never have heard them.
Anyway I do have to lay low for a while , but I will still do this deal on Fridays, I don't want to ruffle any feathers here and it appears I have done so lately , so I'll do this tonight and send my weekly donation over to Alipac and just kind of watch the board for a wee or so

ENJOY

This hit the charts in the 70s and promptly disappeared
I did find a live version

Desmond Deckker and the aces

The times being what they were it is a lip synch job

----------------------------------------------------------

"Summertime" , Billy Stewart , What a fantastic singer
PLEASE , take the time to listen to him , he is way classic

Note that this is where Rodger Daltry got his mic moves ,


----------------------------------------------------------

I searched for weeks to find this song , It is so cool and so mellow
I also found out that George Santana , Carlo's brother was the guitar player in this band , One hit wonders

--------------------------------------------------------
Steppenwolf , This was an underground hit , it is such a classic song
I used the original rather than the live version , its sometimes hard to mess with the classics in their original form

I saw John Kay as a solo act , and he was great

------------------------------------------------------

Its a nightmare tracking all the versions of Richie Blackmore in Rainbow and Deep purple but a little know hit they had was

Blackmore uses a lot of "tricks" but in the end he is a blazing fast and good guitarist . I hear he is really hard to work with though
------------------------------------------------------
A very rare cut of Dio doing Heaven and Hell
This one is legend and very hard to find

I hope this impresses someone

The guitar in this is furious , Viv Cambell was a brutal player

One more cut from this concert

If you want to see what a real rock concert is suppose to look like
this is it , It will blow your brains out
