The Kinks - Celluloid Heroes, 1977 This is a song that we rarely perform in England
It was on a loser album called Everybody's in Show-Biz
I can't post the superior Old Grey Whistle Test version which is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSR7nfn-acsYou can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize
Some that you hardly heard of
I wish my life was a non stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die Everybody's in Show-Biz is often seen by fans as a transition album for the Kinks, marking the change in Ray Davies' songwriting style toward more theatrical, campy and vaudevillian work. This album marks Davies' explorations of the trials of rock-star life and the monotony of touring. |

DAMN! Meant that as a response to another post and like an idiot, I forgot to "quote" it first.
And try as I might, I couldn't delete it.

Martha Velez was kind of a musical gypsy during the late 1960's and the 1970's, covering different styles from folk to blues to rock and pop, with a real talent for popping up where things were happening. She'd previously worked with Eric Clapton and members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but she really fell into something with her album Escape from Babylon (1976), which was produced by Bob Marley, with backing by the Wailers Band and the I-Three, something which zero other singers can say.

Martha Velez was kind of a musical gypsy You had me at she won an opera scholarship at age 12. I can't seem to find anything she recorded in that genre. Acting too - I shouldn't be surprised. Falcon Crest of all things. |

Falcon Crest of all things. There was kind of a similar situation when Mick Jones of The Clash produced an album, Spirit of St. Louis (1981), for then girlfriend Ellen Foley, with all members of The Clash playing on the record. She also acted on American television and co-starred on Season 1 of Night Court. |

Interesting. I've been spending time with Mick's previous love, Viv Albertine. Nothing so melodic that I can post here - funny songs but very cutting, not unlike her days in The Slits. She went on to direct.   |

The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man (1965) David Crosby Graham Nash BBC 1970 GUINNEVERE Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ''Down By The River'' [Live - 1970] Timely post. And another sad day for music.  BTW: My 2nd daughter's name is Jennifer. Her Mom's pick. But as at the time there were thousands of Jennifers (four in my family alone) I suggested an alternative. Thinking of that tune I offered Guinnevere, or maybe GENEVIEVE. Mom wouldn't have any of it.  Always loved that song. A favorite from their eponymous debut LP. Sepiatone |

Sepiatone That performance from Crosby and Nash performing GUINNEVERE has long been one of my favorites. My sister and I harmonized well together growing up ( either I sang the melody and she the low harmony, or she sang the melody and I the high harmony), but CSN had complicated and unusual harmonies which were hard for us to duplicate vocally. One or both of us would end up off key, then we would make each other laugh. |

Guinnevere would have been great. I love to think of teachers doing roll call on that one.
>One or both of us would end up off key, then we would make each other laugh.
Did you manage to get any of that on tape or film sagebrush?
I envy those smart enough to have captured their childhood antics.
My sister made us all do a dance routine to Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecelia" for the neighbours. Aye me.
