I stay away from Lido. If you like saggy gay men, that's what's up with Lido.
And the occasional hot blonde with a red G-String.

Then why did you thank me for it???
I don't care about the why's & wherefore's of any song or group........I just like a catchy tune &/or good music.
Lido just happens to be a catchy tune, IMO
And from your comments about 'gay men' in music.......that would have to include Freddy Mercury/Queen, Liberace, Elton John, etc, etc, etc..........and that's just wrong cause they are/were great, talented musicians of their crafts
Who's the woman?
Lawdy! I'm out in the country, but that there will put you right downtown!
Hoo boy! Dat some fancy music dere!

Well Duke that be Miss Bonnie Raitt... I have been deeply in love with her for 40+ years... Have never heard a tune from her that was not worth giving your full attention to and just listening...
Oh and yes Dr. John can sell it!!!
Been spinning Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" (Warner 2000) where she took on mostly other people's music with a jazz orchestra. As a fan of Joni for many decades I'm trying every way I can think to find something positive about this.
I'm afraid it can't be done. This is bloody awful. Way overproduced, way overorchestrated and a match between voice and arrangements that never had a chance to work. And doesn't.
I generally don't come to a thread like this often for that reason --- it has to load every video link and the longer a single page goes, the more videos it is forced to load. AND every time a quote nest contains videos --- all those previous videos have to load again as well.
Pogo's Recommendations for a music thread posting videos:
1 post no more than one video per post;These will help take the strain off and the page won't take forever to load.
2 if you quote a prior post that had videos, remove the quoted video so it isn't forced to load again;
3 Post the title and artist in text so it can be searched that way (Lucy and I, for two, already do this)
Pogo this is a Cream Alert I know they are your favourite band and Cream did a song on their first album "Fresh Cream" the song "Rollin and Tumblin" and they originally credited it as Traditional, then later they credited it to McKinley Morganfield (aka Muddy Waters) but that song was written by Hambone Willie Newbern, errors like this I don't like.
He recorded it at his only recording session ever on March 14 1929 at the OKeh Records studio in Atlanta, Georgia and he only ever recorded six songs in his whole life at that one session after that he disappeared, some people have said he was beaten to death in a prison fight in 1947 and some others say he died at home in 1965. There is also no photograph in existence of Hambone Willie Newbern, the photograph that some idiots put on websites or whatever is actually a photograph of Son House, this photograph of Son House:
Hambone Willie Newbern "Roll and Tumble Blues" recorded on March 14 1929 and pressed on 10" 78RPM for OKeh Records but never released and there was no B Side.
I know ^^^^ was never released because in the below Discography it is listed as Unissued. Weird stuff, Hambone Willie Newbern a total man of mystery.

Tammi Terrell - David Ruffin was a POS and many people including Terrell's family blamed him for starting the brain tumour that caused her death in 1970, Ruffin in 1967 having hit her across the head with a motorcycle helmet and The Temptations former road manager also said he witnessed Ruffin hit Terrell in the head with a hammer.
Tammi Terrell was fantastic, I hope David Ruffin is burning in Hell.
Tammi Terrell "I Gotta Find A Way To Get You Back" recorded in 1966 for Motown Records but not released until 2010, this is an Unreleased Acetate (First Take) the backing vocalists are The Temptations, this first appeared on "Tammi Terrell - Come On And See Me: The Complete Solo Collection" released in 2010 on Double CD and packaged in a three panel gatefold sleeve with a 36 page booklet on Hip-O Select Records.

Oosie did I ever tell you about the Motown Museum?
Years ago I had a road job in Memphis and my co-worker wanted to go see Sun Records. I wasn't enthused, thought it would be a tourist trap. But it was pretty cool, I liked seeing the vintage studios and tape machines, and resolved that if I ever got sent to Detroit I'd go see the Motown Museum for the same reason. I'm a tech geek about that stuff so that amuses me. Several years later I got a gig in Detroit and had enough free time to go.
The MM is a three (four?) story house where Berry Gordy set up his operation with studios in what used to be a garage, and offices on the upper floors. Then in the attic floor he ran a long microphone cable to one end of the attic where a speaker was mounted on the other side. This he would feed back into the recording for reverberation to create "the Motown sound". So they showed us that, and we saw some vintage studios, heard some stories, saw some old tape decks, and I'm geeking out. But they added a historical note I didn't see coming.
In the early 1960s when all this started, they noted, there was no such thing as white kids and black kids dancing together or sharing the same music. It was culturally segregated as much as if there had been a sign over the music. Gordy's aim was to produce music that could appeal across those lines and be dug by everybody regardless of racial culture. And they demonstrated that in the museum culminating in a documentary film at the end.
It was intensely moving. We had gone into that tour a disparate group of strangers. Singles, couples small groups, blacks, whites .... by the time we came out of it we were all brothers and sisters, color no longer existed and there were no strangers - because we had all been moved by the same profound experience -- Motown had just broken down those barriers again right in front of us.
Ever since that visit this one lyric stands out for the depth of what it really means:
"This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet"
I never fully grokked what that meant until that visit. It sums up what Motown was there for in five seconds.
Even without that deeper meaning it was a powerful driving irresistible piece of rock. Listen closely and you can hear Marvin Gaye (co-writer) in the background slamming a steady beat on a steel plate, with a tire iron.

^^^^ This is correct, music is one of the few things that regardless of politics, religion, gender or skin colour that is able to bring people who share a love of a type of music together. It's a shame that too many people are obsessed with the above things and instead don't concentrate on one thing we all have in common and that's a soul.
The thought of Marvin Gaye slamming a steady beat on a steel plate with that thing is also pretty profound IMHO.
