| I start with JOE COCKER and leave you to go on! Joe Cocker OBE (born 20 May 1944) is an english rock/blues singer who came to popularity in the 1960s, and is most known for his gritty voice, which remembers of Eric Burdon and his cover versions of popular songs, particularly those of The Beatles. Joe Cocker was born in Sheffield, England, the youngest son of a civil servant. In 1961 Joe by day, worked as an apprentice gas fitter and by night, in dark suit and bow tie, became Vance Arnold singing with The Avengers in rough Sheffield pubs. The set included songs by mentor Ray Charles “What’d I Say” and “Georgia On My Mind. you're so beautiful (nearly unplugged) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlDmslyGmGI&feature=related& Alex Britti, Joe Cocker & Pavarotti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29zQGhnKQck&feature=relatedJoe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wG6Cgmgn5U&feature=fvw[img][/img] | |

| and of course I couldn't stop to joe cocker! PAUL SIMON& ART GARFUNKEL The dulcet harmonies of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel remain one of the more cherished sounds of the Sixties. The music made by the Forest Hills, New York, natives was fueled by a mutual love of early rock and roll and a search for inspiration beyond the conventional borders of folk and pop. Simon teamed up musically with childhood acquaintance Garfunkel in high school. Using the alias Tom and Jerry, they recorded an Everly Brothers-style original ("Hey, Schoolgirl") that sold 150,000 copies. Reverting to their surnames, Simon and Garfunkel scored a folk-rock hit with “The Sounds of Silence,” one of the cornerstone songs of 1965 with its urbane, poetical lyrics and astute blend of folk and rock elements. Bridge Over Troubled Water live in 1969. When you're weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all; I'm on your side. when times get rough And friends just cant be found... Art Garfunkel (Simon & Garfunkel) - “Bridge Over Troubled Water” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYKJuDxYr3ISimon And Garfunkel - The Boxer (Live) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hqdZ4AWSaI&feature=related | |
