Happy Birthday to Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou, or to keep it simple, Vangelis. Born this day in Greece - in 1943.
If this rare interview is anything to go by, the huge body of his work that we know about is only the tip of the iceberg, and seems likely to remain that way. Apart from his very obvious musical genius, the man is a philosophical luminary; we need more of them. He sees right through all the nonsense - plenty of food for thought - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K0kiYSStZM.
⦠and because I like it a lot - here's "Islands of the Orient" from Oceanic -

Eric Clapton was born this day in 1945 in Surrey, England. Thereâs no way to paraphrase his career and contribution to music into one paragraph, and anyone who really doesnât know who he is will be able to access masses of info with great ease.
I canât remember a time when there wasnât a copy of 461 Ocean Boulevard lurking around! It remains a fixture.

Thijs van Leer was born on 31 March 1948 in Amsterdam, Holland, and is best known as the frontman for Dutch prog band Focus. Heâs classically trained, plays the flute, piccolo, keyboards, including harpsichord, organ and piano, and his vocal work includes yodelling and whistling. In 2008, he was awarded a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau for special services to music â heâs gone more in the classical and jazz directions of late.
Focus was fairly prolific in output, and are credited for their technical proficiency - guitarist Jan Akkerman, co-founder of the band, is brilliant. I need to look into their back catalogue a bit more â Focus III is great, Hamburger Concerto up next. van Leer is almost like Hollandâs answer to Ian Anderson (a comparison thatâs been drawn more than once); imaginative, uninhibited, highly skilled and wonderfully whacky!!

James Chambers, aka Jimmy Cliff was born this day in 1948. I always think of âMany Rivers to Crossâ when his name crops up, but there is so much more. Jimmy is the only living musician to hold the Jamaican Order of Merit â the highest accolade that can be bestowed by that country's powers that be for contributions to music and the arts.
Heâs a reggae/ska musician (as one would imagine), heâs acted in a couple of movies, and incidentally was never a Rastafarian. Heâs released 90 singles ranging through from 1962 (yep - I did a double take at the numbers too - his first single "Hurricane Hattie" was made when he was 14) to the present time, and his most recent album is Rebirth from 2012, which I listened to out of interest. Heâs always had a lot to say in terms of rights/protest songs. There are a couple of cool tracks on it, with lots of energy, this being one of them - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afmqp8AK6SA.
âMany Rivers to Crossâ is a must to post though -

Ruby covered his accomplishments well. As was said, an actor, starring in the 1st all-Jamaican production: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070155/?ref_=nv_sr_1 and the album from that movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm6SN8cKSUU A Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Cliff Wanna get in touch? http://www.jimmycliff.com/ << Tough to imagine Jamaican music without him.
