Music Head Wrote:#450 - Wailers - I Shot The Sheriff - 1973What was it you said about "...stupid Americans hijacked..."? Oh, right--EC is or was an UKster whereas Sting and Co. were those self-same Americanos, smug as all get-out.

Bette Midler did a very nice cover of this song which hit the chart in 1983. Strange there is no UK chart showing for this. Was it not released as a single there?

SteveO Wrote:exactly Crazy mate...as we all know music is subjective however looking at it in a practical sense and not mentioning my favorite Elvis tune, Love Me Tender is his best recognised song ! And yes Suspicious Minds is definitely one of my favs along with many others !..what a voice and what a performer !!!!!Wonder how many people got confused by this (this very much includes me)? Here's the original and a cover by some guy (although he had it as an album cut first): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gzY-PrwwHk and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNJjDR9RPqk

Interesting clips , I must say, Jazz! I remember when Terry Stafford released Suspicion.....myself and countless others thought it was Elvis!!!...lol...mixed up with Suspicious Minds sometimes, two totally different songs...

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:"**" from me alsoAbout "Young Blood" by the Coasters--can you for a minute think this would get issued today, the necessary laws concerning offenses against youth being as vigorously prosecuted as they are? Nevertheless, I like anything Leiber/Stoller with Doc Pomus put in front of the only long-lasting serio-comic group. Best way to catch up: http://www.allmusic.com/album/50-coastin-classics-anthology-mw0000090269 << if you go to Amazon for this, I recuse myself from consideration as a seller.

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:not a 'classic' from Little Richard IMO so "**"Mostly agree with that but this here one is certified, sanctified and deep-fat fried (if I may be permitted to quote myself): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_wWkvd39VE
Litttle Richard wasn't the only crazy, not even from that era--Esquerita and that Macon flamin' groovy Wayne Cochran come to mind. And let's don't start with those West Coast rock-a-billy nut jobs. Mr. Cochran will get his props in a future BES edition--he sure rates it. Alongside the estimable Mitch Ryder << not enough stage presence to merit entry here but oh what a voice and delivery!
Esquerita http://www.allmusic.com/album/vintage-voola-mw0000023834 (the late Mr. Koda knew his schiz and was a heckuva player himself--worth a look-up) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G5tqli-t7M Indeed a, er, "body" shaker
Wayne Cochran http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-white-knight-of-soul-1964-72-get-down-with-it%21-mw0000140112 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5_GstlPL64 << Jaco Pastorius got his start playing in WC's band, the C.C. Riders. I'll bet Music-Head could dance like this, back in the day

I was entranced with the song...so dark and controversial for the subject matter at the time. I love this great song !About "Ode to Billy Joe"--The movie wasn't as dismal as described in these pages and it wasn't a stuffed animal or over-age hound that exited abruptly the bridge either:
