Several more have passed this summer of 2025.
These individuals have been in Delaney & Bonnie and co-founded Derek & the Dominos; played Dee in What’s Happening!! (1976–1979); was nicknamed “Superlungs”, and turned down lead singer for Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple; and was a pioneering musician in the realm of Contemporary Christian Music.
This “Stand Out Single” was the first single for the Bangs (soon to be Bangles).
“Getting Out of Hand” backed with “Call on Me” is the rare 1981 debut single from the Los Angeles-based band Bangs, who would soon be forced to rename themselves The Bangles. Released independently on their own DownKiddie Records imprint, the single captures the earliest recorded output of the group.
Faithfull’s musical journey began in 1964 when she attended a Rolling Stones party.
Marianne Faithfull, born Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull on December 29, 1946, in Hampstead, London, was the daughter of Major Robert Glynn Faithfull, a British Army officer and professor of psychology, and Eva von Sacher-Masoch, an Austrian baroness and ballet dancer. Her parents’ marriage dissolved when she was six, leading her to spend part of her childhood in a convent school. This early exposure to both privilege and discipline would later influence her artistic sensibilities.

How many songs can you think of that have the same word, repeated three times, for the song title? In this series of posts, I’m going to try to come up with a few. Wish me luck. I’ll check in with some of the big rock bands and solo artists to see what I can find.
When you think of Led Zeppelin you get the image of the iconic Icarus Swan Song logo that is so closely associated with Jimmy Page and company. It’s the perfect image for a band like Led Zeppelin, a timeless piece of art that just feels right in the lore of classic rock.
This is where I’ll be talking about the Album Art that I like. That is one of the benefits of 12″ vinyl albums, the cool packaging that surrounded the record. Here I’ll research the creations that we all loved as children, teenagers, and adults. I’ll try to find as much information on the artists as I can.
Postponed, because of Covid, from 2020 to September 12, 2021 to finally February 1, 2022.
I saw the Alan Parsons Live Project: Turn of a Friendly Card Tour at Symphony Hall in Atlanta, Georgia on February 1, 2022. It was one of the best-sounding shows I have ever attended, loud but didn’t hurt your ears at all.
