Please report dead links or suggestions
I'm not a 'top' poster. My readers are not 'top' downloaders. Fine with me, but after a while links will be gone if there are no downloads within certain days.
I just cannot check every week if all links are still available/working.
So please report in the comment over here if links are not working anymore so I can 'repair' them. I will not publish your comment here.
With your help it will keep my Blog neat, clean and enjoyable to read.
If you have other remarks the comment section here (or in the topic itself) is the 'place to be'.
Note I moderate comments. So if you wish a comment not to be made open in public I don't publish it.
Thanks in advance.

Tomorrow 1985 Ricky Nelson died
.jpg)
Tomorrow New Years Eve 1985 Ricky Nelson died. You can read a lot about him in that famous internet encyclopedia Wikipedia.Ricky is so well know by his famous hit Hello Mary Lou, written by Gene Pitney. Other songs include Teen Age Idol, Fools Rush In and It's Up to You.
But here I want to present ya his first 2 albums. In my country it was released just later on by Imperial with the same front cover but different back sleeves.

04-I'm Feelin' Sorry
05-Down The Line
06-Unchained Melody
07-I'm In Love Again
08-Don't Leave Me This Way
09-My Babe
10-I'll Walk Alone
11-There Goes My Baby
12-Poor Little Fool
All Music Guide review by William Ruhlmann to this second LP.
Elvis Presley's first LP was called Elvis Presley, and his second Elvis. In stark contrast, Ricky Nelson's first LP was called Ricky, and his second Ricky Nelson. Nelson remained a slavish imitator of the Sun Records rockabilly style on his sophomore long-player, but he had improved enormously in the endeavor. The production was closer to the Sun Studio sound, with the same kind of vocal echo, and in James Burton, Nelson had found the real article, a classic rock & roll guitarist with a style that was both distinctive and perfectly attuned to the essentials of the sound. But the improvement over the first album was also attributable to Nelson himself, who had become a far more involved singer. He may have been turning out carbon copies of Presley (There's Good Rockin' Tonight) and Roy Orbison (Down the Line) from Sun, as well as old favorite Fats Domino (I'm in Love Again), whose I'm Walkin' had launched his career, and even Little Walter (My Babe), but he executed these approximations with the fervor of a true believer. And he was beginning to write his own material (Don't Leave Me This Way) and introduce the writing of his band (Burton and bass player James Kirkland's There Goes My Baby). As usual, there was a complement of tricked-out pop covers from the past — the 1940 copyright Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You), the 1944 song I'll Walk Alone, the recent movie hit Unchained Melody — songs that Nelson also managed to be comfortable singing. And there was his latest (and biggest) hit, Poor Little Fool. Ricky Nelson thus marks a distinct advance over Ricky, even if was not embraced as enthusiastically as its predecessor, peaking only in the Top Ten and remaining in the charts only a couple of months.
As usual more info in the comments.

TV games on Beat the Clock in the 1950's
All those TV games today are soooo stupid ! In the fifties they were quite different. Much more intelligent as you can see in this clip of three bonus games played on Beat the Clock in the 1950's with Hazel Bishop. LOL.
Them were the days, wish they could come back. Ahh, just wishful thinking... :-)

How to take care of your records (LP sleeve)
If you take care of your vinyl records in a proper way they will last long and sound as good as a CD. In my opinion even better assuming you don't have a so-called 'music center' from the Wall-mart ... :-)
Care Of LPs, 45s And Other Vinyl Records.

Christmas is cancelled
T'was the night before Christmas - Old Santa was pissed.He cussed out the elves and threw down his list.
Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks.
I have a good mind to scrap the whole works.
I've busted my ass for damn near a year.
Instead of "Thanks Santa" - what do I hear ?
The old lady bitches cause I work late at night...
The elves want more money - The reindeer all fight.
Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids.Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS.
And just when I thought that things would get better,
Those assholes from IRS sent me a letter.
They say I owe taxes - if that ain't damn funny.
Who the hell ever sent Santa Claus any money ?
And the kids these days - they all are the pits.
They want the impossible ... Those mean little sh*ts.
I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds,Assembling dolls... Their arms, legs and heads,
I made a ton of yoyo's - No request for them...
They want computers and robots... they think I'm IBM.
Flying through the air...dodging the trees,
Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees.
I'm quitting this job... there's just no enjoyment.
I'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment.
There's no Christmas this year... now you know the reason...
I found me a blonde. I'm going SOUTH for the season!
To ensure that everyone is clear on this, I don't claim to have written this, I am merely passing it on to ya..... LOL

News flash : Christmas is CANCELLED
NEWS BULLETIN !!!
CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED THIS YEAR !!! CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED THIS YEAR !!!
Location : North Pole
CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED THIS YEAR !!! CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED THIS YEAR !!!
Location : North Pole
There was a lot of excitement today at the North Pole.
A call to 9-1-1 was made from Santa's Workshop at approximately 10:30 a.m. An ambulance was immediately dispatched.
It seems that Santa collapsed in a fit of unknown origin and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The hospital spokesman reported that the doctors aren't yet certain if Santa will recover in time to save Christmas.
Later, an unnamed source shed some light on the cause of Santa's collapse...
"Everything was fine" he said..."Santa was reviewing his list, started checking it twice and started laughing and just couldn't stop. We tried everything, and finally had to call for help!"
When asked if the reason for the untamed mirth was found, the source pointed the finger right at YOU !! It seems that someone (maybe even you yourself ??) reported to Santa that you had been good this year and he just died laughing !!

Today 1938 Chas Chandler was born
Today 1938 Bryan James "Chas" Chandler was born in the Heaton district of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.
He began his career playing bass guitar in a trio with Alan Price. After vocalist Eric Burdon, joined them, the group was renamed The Animals and became one of the most successful R&B bands of the 1960s. Chandler's most famous bass lines are the opening foundation riffs of their 1965 hits We Gotta Get Out of This Place and It's My Life. Chandler was also the most prominent of the group's backing vocalists and did occasional songwriting with Burdon.
After the group split up in late 1966, Chandler reinvented himself, becoming manager of Jimi Hendrix and recruiting other musicians to form The Jimi Hendrix Experience. He also produced their first two albums.
Chas Chandler died of a heart condition in Newcastle in 1996_july_17, days after performing his final solo show.
You know me by now. An all-time greatest hits album you already will have ? O no... This reunion album (in my opinion back to their 'bluesy' roots) is the one !!
Animals - Before we were so rudely interupted 1977_08
01-Brother Bill (last clean shirt)
02-Its all over now baby blue
03-Fire in the sun
04-As the crow files
05-Please send me someone to love
06-Many rivers to cross
07-Just a little bit
08-Riverside county
09-Lonely Avenue
10-The fool
Cut 11 years after the Animals' original lineup recorded their last LP and six years before their more well-remembered reunion tour, this oft-overlooked album is just short of a lost classic; it lacks the intensity of their 1983 studio effort, Ark, but it is more substantial musically than that album and fits in very neatly with their preceding work, as though they'd scarcely skipped a beat. Recorded under the auspices of the late Chas Chandler's Barn Productions, the album was highlighted by a dramatically bluesy rendition of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, boasting superb playing by Alan Price. Hilton Valentine's soaring guitar pyrotechnics light up Fire on the Sun, perhaps the flashiest performance of his career for this most introspective of '60s British blues axemen, and As the Crow Flies has the group returning to its roots, as a dark, brooding rendition of the Jimmy Reed song that gives room for Chandler, Valentine, Price, and John Steel to show off their '60s-era blues chops in a more expansive form. After a promising start, the gospel number Many Rivers to Cross falls apart a bit, but Just a Little Bit, with its rippling organ break, the group original Riverside County, and the pounding finale, The Fool, make the rest of side two eminently enjoyable, although, coming out in the midst of the punk and disco booms, the LP never had a chance to be heard by more than the most dedicated fans (like me).
I think enough reason to go on further in the comment section.

Today 1921 Alan Freed was born
Alan Freed, born 1921_december_15, and also known as Moondog, was an American disc-jockey (DJ) who became internationally known for promoting African-American Rhythm and Blues (R&B) music on the radio in the United States and Europe under the name of Rock and Roll. Many of the top African American performers of the first generation of rock and roll (such as Little Richard and Chuck Berry) salute Alan Freed for his pioneering attitude in breaking down racial barriers among the youth of 1950s America.The biggest payola story that hit the broadcasting industry (in the early 1960s) was attached to the biggest name in rock 'n' roll in the late 50s : Alan Freed. The powerhouse DJ who may have been half-inventor of the very term rock and roll was dragged before Washington politicians who had developed a fond interest in encouraging the "race music fad" to come to a close.
Freed was trading spins for cash. Here's some dough, Alan, make sure my record gets noticed. A lot like the Hutchinson Family Singers. Freed argued the honorariums he received were tokens of appreciation or consulting fees. He also claimed he earned those occasional songwriting credits that would pop up on records now and again, too. No one believed him.
His career was destroyed and he eventually died 1965_january_20.
Testament Of Rock'n'roll - Alan Freed's Moon Dog Show
01-Bill Haley ah Comets - Rock Around The Clock02-The Treniers - Good Rockin' Tonight

A 15 minute piece of history on which you can hear Terry Nolan, Buddy Holly, Jackie Wilson (see picture on the left) and others.
All together about 90 minutes history for ya when you go to the comments and do what ya wanna do ! You'll understand the download file is this time quite big...

Today 1932 Charlie Rich was born
Today 1932 Charlie Rich was born in Colt, Arkansas, USA and he died 1995_07_25. If you don't believe me check Wikipedia.
He is perhaps best remembered for a pair of 1973 hits, Behind Closed Doors and The Most Beautiful Girl but I'm more into his earlier recordings. If you're not so familiar with his early music you now can meet thát side of Charlie Rich.
He's one of the most soulful performers of countrypolitan yesteryear, and one of the most overlooked old-timers in the country canon. Working his way up as a second-stringer in the roster of Sam Phillips' Sun label, Charlie Rich developed an incredible blend of jazzy whiteboy pop and hauntingly bluesy soul. He's sort of a weird morph of Ray Charles and Jerry Lee Lewis, but with more genuine emotional impact than either of his piano-plunkin' brethren. At the peak of his fame, Rich was known as the Silver Fox and won the Performer of the Year award in 1974, riding high on a series of lavish countrypolitan hits that helped define the genre. No small irony, though, that the next year he refused to announce the winner's name (John Denver), because he was horrified at country music's decline into mere defanged, de-twanged pop... a situation he did as much to bring about as anyone else. Still, Charlie Rich is about as cool as they come...
If you don't know his early (SUN) years here are a few songs to get you started.
Rich, Charlie - JeanDupree Compilation _58_62
01-Whirlwind (Undubbed Version)
02-Philadelphia Baby
03-Stop Fakin' Your Love (Alt.)
04-Lonely Weekends (Master)
05-Baby I Need You
06-On My Knees
07-There Won't Be Anymore
08-Who Will The Next Fool Be
09-It's Too Late (Undubbed)
10-My Baby Done Left Me
11-Midnight Blues
12-Easy Money
13-Time's-A-Wasting
14-What's My Name
15-The Ways Of A Woman In Love
16-Break Up
17-Blue Suede Shoes
18-Popcorn Polly
19-Sittin' And Thinkin'
20-Right Behind You Baby
21-Turn Around And Face Me
The above picture shows Charlie and his wife Margaret Ann who did so much for him/his career (especially in them Sam Phillips SUN years...).
By this compilation you can learn a little bit about his style in them years. You will notice the resemblance with Jerry Lee Lewis. Total playlist 45 minutes.
As a special bonus I added the Popcorn song Turn around and face me.

Today 1938 Connie Francis was born
Today 1938 Connie Francis was born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero in the Italian Down Neck, or Ironbound, neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey. She's an American pop singer best known for international hit songs such as Who's sorry now ?, Where the boys are and Everybody's somebody's fool. She is known to have one of the most distinctive voices in the history of pop music.
Again, Wikipedia is the best start to get more info about her. But of course you could also do a Google search.
Connie Francis had her ups and downs, to say it nicely, but she always managed to overcome the problems which came on her way. I really do admire her for that.
I have to admit in them years I wasn't really a fan of Connie Francis but that changed over the years.
So I sadly have just a few of her normal albums and some compilation cd's.
The German Bear Family issued the nice Francis, Connie & Hank Williams Jr - Sing favorite country album (don't know if it's still available). Bear Family also issued in 1993 Francis, Connie - White sox, pink lipstick.. and stupid cupid, a great 5 cd-box set. I have this box and it's in my opinion worth much more than the 95euro Bear Family charges.
And luckily this bargon is still available for ya !! So buy it !!
On 2007_august_27 I offered ya her Love'n'country album.
On behalf of her birthday I do present ya Francis, Connie - Heartaches by the number 'cause she's had enough heartaches, one way or the other....
This is 45 minutes easy listening pleasure in superb stereo sound !!!
01-Bye Bye Love
02-I Fall to Pieces
03-I Don't Wanna Play House
04-Oh Lonesome Me
05-I Can't Stop Loving You
06-Heartaches By The Number
07-Your Cheatin' Heart
08-Singing the Blues
09-I Walk The Line
10-Tennessee Waltz
11-Cold, Cold Heart
12-I Really Don't Want To Know
13-I'm A Fool to Care
14-Half As Much
15-Room Full Of Roses
16-I Don't Hurt Anymore
17-How's The World Treating You ?
18-Peace In the Valley
You can get heartaches all the time and everywhere but also in my comments....

The German Bear Family issued the nice Francis, Connie & Hank Williams Jr - Sing favorite country album (don't know if it's still available). Bear Family also issued in 1993 Francis, Connie - White sox, pink lipstick.. and stupid cupid, a great 5 cd-box set. I have this box and it's in my opinion worth much more than the 95euro Bear Family charges.
And luckily this bargon is still available for ya !! So buy it !!
On 2007_august_27 I offered ya her Love'n'country album.
On behalf of her birthday I do present ya Francis, Connie - Heartaches by the number 'cause she's had enough heartaches, one way or the other....
This is 45 minutes easy listening pleasure in superb stereo sound !!!

On 22 january I wrote an article about Sam Cooke (he was born that day 1931) and I noticed this page is one of the 'best read' pages (because of the offered gospel songs ??).
Here I present you (again) that superb 1964 BBC appearance in which Cassius Clay & Sam Cooke perform 'a capella' The gang's all here.
