Lace Me Up!

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

The horrific plane crash that killed singer Buddy Holly also claimed the life of the pilot and two other musicians. Richie Valens story was told in the 1980s movie “La Bamba”. I understand that there is supposed to be a movie about the life of The Big Bopper as well, but I haven’t seen it and do not know the title. However, like Buddy Holly, he had songs that will live forever. What follows is his hit CHANTILLY LACE.

Rap it up!

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

As is well known, I am really not up on the latest rap artists, as older music is more my line. However, this IS a music blog, and when a well done new music site appears, this is where you need to hear about it. Such a site has just come to my attention, and clicking the link will get you there. This site is for fans of the Rap style. Enjoy!

Doll on a Music Box

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Old movies have given us some of the best music of all time. One source for great music was the old children’s movie, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. In addition to the theme song, other memorable tunes, like ME OLD BAMBOO and TOOTS SWEETS can be found. My favorite, however, is the DOLL ON A MUSIC BOX song from that movie. In the video clip below is the actual footage from the movie of that song.

Memorability

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Memorability can be a problem for performers. One hit wonders abound, and in most cases, people can’t remember their names when their hit song comes up. Memorability was never a problem for this artist, however. Barry Manilow is a living legend. From his song MANDY, which is a great song that you can’t really tell is about his dog, to COPACABANA, which is shown below in this video clip, Manilow’s versatility and incredible voice guarantee that he won’t be forgotten anytime soon. By the way, the person who put together the slide show for this song did a GREAT job!

El Paso

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Marty Robbins made quite an impact on the musical world. Arguably his most famous song, EL PASO, was written in a very short time as he was traveling through that city. The following video clip contains an intro from, I believe, his son, telling about that trip. Marty Robbins will always be missed by his fans everywhere. And now, on to EL PASO.

Feeling a Little Phat?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Baby Phat is an interesting brand with an interesting story behind it. Originally, the name was simply a publicity issue, when tiny tees were put out with that name on them to bring attention to the Phat Pharm label. The tees took off, and soon there was a whole Baby Phat line available, not only tees, but other items as well, including the cutting edge design baby phat handbag that are on the market now. These handbags are available online, along with most of the other sassy products that bear the Baby Phat name. Just click through the above link!

OOm Boppa Oom Boppa….

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Back in the eighties, you just didn’t think about country music without Alabama or the Oak Ridge Boys coming to mind. My daughter even worked at an Oak Ridge Boys concert back in 1986, which took place at Arkansas State University. (She was on the concert committee back then… the stories she could tell you!) I am on an Oak Ridge Boys kick today, so, here they are, singing one of their most memorable songs. My daughter assures me that they sang this one at that concert… ELVIRA.
