Rocktober
Rocktober begins on a bittersweet note as we remember the lives of Helen Reddy and Mac Davis.
Here’s Helen singing a song Mac wrote.
Here’s Mac
Bet you didn’t know he wrote this one
And close it out with an encore
Music Monday
Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel … The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo. Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
I hadn't heard. :`(
ReplyDeleteSorry to be the bearer of bad news
DeleteSuch a sad day for me! I had been listening to Mac Davis practically every day for the past several weeks. I heard the news about Helen Reddy as I headed off to bed, and when I woke up, I learned about Mac Davis. Helen Reddy had been mentioned on my blog a week or so ago when I did my Two-Step Tuesday post on Tanya Tucker - she had a cover of Delta Dawn that did fairly well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in RocktoberMusicFest! Looking forward to a great month of music.
It’s going to be great
DeleteYou missed my favorite Helen Reddy song, "Angie Baby," but this is a nice tribute to a couple of '70's music icons.
ReplyDeleteShe had so many hits
DeleteI am going to have a tribute on my blog Monday for Music Moves Me; I had also come up with Mac Davis singing "In the Ghetto" and I can see why it worked so well for Elvis-and for Mac Davis - in fact, I actually liked the Mac Davis one better. A sad way to end September and begin October. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
