Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

Oh yeah!!! I hadn't heard this in years! So glad I remembered it...
Chi Coltrane - Thunder and lightning

I am betting @hotoldrguy hasn't heard this in years either... and will enjoy it again.... that's my guess... unless he hates this song... and will be mad I even reminded him of it... 🤣

Oh... I love this! I'm sorry, I forgot Coltrane
 

Diana Ross & Michael Jackson - Ease On Down The Road​

Personally, I think Michael was an absolute musical genius. Overflowing with talent. Diana Ross is absolutely amazing as well… I did not personally think this was their finest hour… but let’s not forget…

Michael Jackson - Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough

I could probably go on for an hour of doing songs from MJ I personally thought were musically interesting. The weird stuff that happened to that guy in his life blows my mind.

He was fabulous in The Thriller
 
Okay… the point of this thread was always to celebrate the version of songs that made them famous (not remakes, not live performances (other than the one that made them famous, like Frampton Comes Alive), and not covers by other bands, unless the cover was also famous and super popular in it’s own right (Proud Mary by Ike and Tina or Heard it Through The Grapevine by Marvin Gaye)… not obscure songs, not uncommon versions… but this? it is so weird, amd frankly bad, but by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle, that I kind of dig its weirdness! 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
 
Lynn Anderson - (I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden

inspired by a new thread.... but I dig the tune.

I always played by the (supposed) rule of actual musicianship and not digital studio magic.

I've always liked that particular version. I actually looked for it. I've thought of this thread as celebration great genres of the past. I think homages to them by modern groups also to be in the spirit of the thread. I am particularly enthralled with the electro swing movement, as it shows a real appreciation for some truly great music. Most of it doesn't belong here (too electro, not enough swing).

Yeah… if the term “electro” is appropriate, it likely does not involve “musicianship” in my humble experience as a musician of 50 years.
