What was the 1st record/single you ever bought? part 2

And Robin Trower for guitar work.

Just read on CNN - Eddie Arnold died this morning - what a wonderful voice he had.

Robin Trower's guitar work continues to manifest itself in the blues genre. Another old rocker who really hit his stride when he left rock for blues is Gary Moore (former lead for Thin Lizzy).

When the query went on about the tumbleweeds, I thought of Eddy Arnold, then that thought evoked dim memories of Gene Pitney and Marty Robbins.

Love, Love, LOVE Gene Pitney!

Bubba, What was the relationship between the back and forth songs of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan? Which songs were they? I have no idea what you're talking about and I am part of that time period. All I can remember is Virgil Cane right now, although I'm sure I know a lot more.

You want me to remember 40+ years ago? That was prime Hippie time.
Drove a paisley painted '52 Caddie, then.

I know she helped produce some of his records, and there are some lyrics on some albums (not the most popular radio songs) that had hints of the relationship.

It may come back, now that I have started the grey matter gears grinding.

I've been struggling for the last 3 days, trying to remember the name of a Canadian singer that I liked.

What a great thread!

My first 45 was probably something from Alvin & the Chipmunks but my first clear

memory is Nancy Sinatras "These Boots are made for Walkin"

Found this on the web - re: Dylan / Baez

Positively 4th Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Farina, and Richard Farina
by David Hajdu

i stopped listening to joan baez when she refused to pay her taxes in protest of the vietnam war.

hows about we list our favorite female groups
mine will be the supremes

Herbie: I thought you didn't like the Motown sound ?
The Supremes are on my fave list, too...right up there with The Shirelles and The Ronnettes.

Oh I loved all those female groups. Whenever I hear any of the songs, I sing along and feel the need to move to the music. Oh....those were the days.

Heart has to be my favorite female group. They had an excellent sound.

How about Wilson Phillips?

I liked Wilson Phillips...wouldn't say they are favorite though.

You know I don't think I have a favorite girl band.
I do like Stevie Nicks, although some of her stuff is a bit twangy and reminds me of country which I really dislike (sorry to country lovers)

there are a few artists that i like from motown but not the majority of them. i never really cared for the temptations or marvin gay etc.

I did love the Motown sounds. Sometimes I am really tempted to order some of the offers on TV for oldies. Gosh, there used to be some really good music.

Here is the link to a very cool website for oldies music:
