ROCKOLLECTIONS: TRIBUTE/MEMORIAL 2008 PT.8

Here’s Part Eight of the 2008 Tribute/Memorial series interrupted by my not going to the station for a while.
And a friend of the station died last year, Paul Newman- his wife Joanne Woodward an even bigger friend who would do a lot of stuff for us at Christmas.
Remember the group The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown?
Well I had a memory of them doing a song on an album, the most unlikely song you could imagine them doing, you would not believe it.
Turned out my memory was correct, and the LP was called Strangeland.
In this episode you will hear it- and it relates to our Memorial.
Now I said last time that this was broadcast back in July, and in fact it was the nearest show to the 40 Year Anniversary of the Moon Landing in 1969.
I was in the midst of my Space series here, so it wasn’t heard then but will be now.
This time I thought I’d take a look at the moon using Sexy Singers.
Hearing the show now, I realize that I never identified them, as we were running late.
So, they are Tanya Tucker and Tom Jones.
That’s about all you need to know- more than you need to know- to enjoy this one.

This series is not morbid nor maudlin, it is rather a celebration of the lives of those we lost in the previous year- in this case 2008.
Sort of an Irish Wake!
At least SOME of these people should have touched you in some way, shape or form, and made your life a bit happier and more pleasant.
I will be dealing with the notable or should be noted.
For the musical folks who passed on, they are deserving of one more play, at the very least.
And we will deal with other cultural figures as well, with some hopefully appropriate music for them.
You are welcome, encouraged even, to anticipate or second-guess my own musical choices!

In this eighth episode, those selected are:
Paul Newman
Nick Reynolds (Kingston Trio)
Jody Reynods (and relates to Arthur Brown, but not Nick, lol)
Neil Hefti (Songwriter)
Levi Stubbs (The Four Tops)

They can’t give any more than they have already given us.

Mike
