I haven't been around (too busy...crazy busy) to check the birthday list lately, but here's todays list....

Kicking off the list is Robin Shaw, from English pop group The Flowerpot Men who had the 1967 UK No.4 single 'Let's Go To San Francisco'.

There's probably not too many here will remember this, but regardless, Happy Birthday to Millie Small, (Millie), 1964 US & UK No.2 single 'My Boy Lollipop).

And Happy Birthday to the late Bobby Farrell, from German vocal group Boney M, who had the 1978 UK No.1 & US No.30 single 'Rivers Of Babylon' and with more than 150 million records sold, they are one of the best-selling artists of all time. He died of natural causes on 30th Dec 2010 at the age of 61. Bobby was an 'interesting' part of the group, but lead singer Liz Mitchell with her amazing voice really propelled the group to it's heights.......

Last birthday call for now goes to American singer-songwriter David Hidalgo from Los Lobos (Spanish for "the Wolves"), who had the 1987 UK & US No.1 single with their cover version of 'La Bamba', which was a 1958 hit for Ritchie Valens and one of early rock and roll's best-known songs.

And from the trivia archives, today in 1972 during sessions at RCA Studios, New York City, David Bowie recorded 'The Jean Genie', which became the lead single from his 1973 album Aladdin Sane. The track spent 13 weeks in the UK charts, peaking at No.2, making it Bowie's biggest hit to date. The line "He's so simple minded, he can't drive his module" would later give the Scottish band Simple Minds their name.

Every story has a story around the story.

I couldn't remember another MIllie song from the era (but I did remember that one).

Turns out her life took a right hand turn afterwards, as happens to many in this fickle world.

But what an amazing spirit this lady has.



Made my day hearing her name RJ, and then finding a backstory.

(She still held a tune in '87 some 23 years later, had a voice, though needed a songwriter at the time to channel it again).

Yes, an amazing lady to be sure. It doesn't seem as if music is her passion though, more 'something fun to mess around with.' I don't 'spose that we'll ever know for sure but you're right, she still had that voice

Okay -- I've been resisting posting this because I have lots of favorites. But Sultans of Swing (Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits) is my most favorist favorite...

I challenge anyone to listen to this just once...

Mark Knopfler -- one of the finest guitarists of his generation. And check out the drummer in this performance...

I was thinking again of yesterday’s Millie birthday (cheers RJ) and then it had me wondering whatever happened to …

Lulu.

(Did they all just have single names back them?)

She was married for a few years to BeeGee Maurice Gibb.



So here’s a long one & historical again (surprise, surprise lol).


To Sir, With Love
An interesting movie, for the times in 1967. (Great job Sidney Poitier.)


Have the times really changed (rhetorical). Or only the words we are now allowed to use in public.

(In todays politically incorrect gender identification this movie most likely would not get a mainstream start.
Plus there was no CGI in movies those days, as no computers, so - just plain old fashioned - dialogue.)



Wiki plot summary:

"You will show respect to me and each other at all times. You will address me as 'Sir' or 'Mr. Thackeray'.

Boys will be addressed as 'Mister' and their last names; the girls will be likewise addressed, and as 'Miss'."

Most of the school's pupils have been rejected from other schools, and their conduct drove the last teacher to resign.

The pupils behave badly: their antics range from disruptive behaviour to distasteful pranks.

Thackeray retains a calm demeanour, but loses his temper when he discovers something being burned in the classroom stove (implied to be a used sanitary napkin).

He orders the boys out of the classroom, then reprimands all the girls, either for being responsible or passively observing, for what he says is their slutty behaviour.

Thackeray is angry with himself for allowing his pupils to get the better of him. Changing his approach, he informs the class they will no longer study from textbooks.

Until the end of term, when they are due to leave school, he will treat them as adults and expects them to behave as such. They could discuss whatever issues they wish, including relationships, marriage, sex, and applying for jobs.


And, oh yeah, the song she made famous at the time

Lulu - 40 years later here in 2007 (and also having lost no voice control)

To Sir, With Love

Good recall there TT......and Sidney Poitier....wow.....what a legend.

Speaking of Lulu, you might remember that she also made a good job of the David Bowie song, The Man Who Sold the World. In fact Bowie did the backing vocals for Lulu on that one. Bowie was quite generous in that regard, remember he wrote 'All The Young Dudes' and then gave it to Mott The Hoople to record and make quite a hit of. Bowie also did the backing vocals for that song too.

A birthday also for the very talented Mr John 'Cougar' Mellencamp, American singer and songwriter, who had the 1982 US No.1 and UK No.25 single Jack And Diane, and the 1982 US No.1 album American Fool. He holds the record for the most tracks by a solo artist to hit Number One on the US Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart, and has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning one, as Best Male Rock Performer for Hurts So Good.

Stepping back again, it's a birthday today for David Taylor, from English pop band Edison Lighthouse who scored the 1970 UK No.1 single 'Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes'.

Sam Brown, UK singer, (1989 UK No.4 single 'Stop'), Jools Holland Band is also having a birthday today. Sam has worked with pretty much all the big names as well as releasing her own work. I could fill the rest of this page with her credentials, but here is Sam backing for Pink Floyd during The Pulse concerts.....

Finally for now, Happy Birthday to Thom Yorke, vocals, guitar, keyboards, Radiohead. Their 1993 debut single 'Creep' was initially unsuccessful, but it became a worldwide hit several months after the release of their debut album, Pablo Honey. Their 1997 album OK Computer appeared in many 1997 critics' lists and listener polls for best album of the year. In 2006, Yorke released his debut solo album, The Eraser, and in 2009 formed Atoms for Peace.
