Still a showman....

an encore years later

 

[JBoy1952]

And the show must go on...
I have seen him live...the old crooners lived on...
And entertainers that engage the audience are extra special...

 

[JBoy1952]

And Anka wrote this song for an other old crooner we old f-----ers all know......and Elvis did it too

Good song. I remember when it was played over a scene in Miami Vice, got to be almost 40 years ago now. See who you can recognize!

I recognize. this is one of my fav shows. I was living in Miami Beach during the filming of this series. We had a 9 story hotel building on the beach at the time that I was restoring/ renovating just outside of the Art Deco district. On the rooftop one day we watched as they filmed a scene on a street corner just one building over from us. I had installed a restaurant in our building. Some time after I left, Phillip Michael Thomas arranged to film an episode in the restaurant.

Now....country may not be the most popular here, but Billy Ray Cyrus...Miley's daddy...still rocked with this one

Umm. Yeah it’s a no for me with this one.
I don’t know what this is. I just can’t…… yeah. No.

Umm. Yeah it’s a no for me with this one.
I don’t know what this is. I just can’t…… yeah. No.

But I like Country and Billy Ray Cyrus!
And many other's
So it's a yes for me... Checkmate!

Billy Ray Cyrus - Some Gave All (Official Music Video)​

Oh I am ok with Country. I have Country songs sprinkled into several playlists.
But that particular song (and artist) for me…

I remember the first time I heard it I was actually watching the video back in the 90s.
I just remember feeling like……like I had just watched a car salesman hard at work.

Again, just me. I often have opinions that don’t align with popular thought. Lol.

I thought we would have to duke it out

Three Dog Night - Liar

This was the follow-up single to Joy to the World; not as big of a hit but still top 10. And the only time I ever hear it anymore is when I play it either off of CD or on Youtube. Just got inspired to play it again.

You don't see the rock and roll in the song? It was a hot #1 best seller and had the essence of revisiting the earlier rock and roll era after, IMO, hard rock ruined music.

I can envision Elvis doing Achy Breaky Heart back in the 60s...and I think Elvis may have been an influence on Cyrus in a fatherly way. LOL

That is so wonderfully ironic… because of why he wrote that song (people who wanted to see Ricky like he was in the 50’s).

I love that song! Always have!

I love that album! I even got Floyd Sneed to sign my CD for me when I got to do a few gigs with him. Super nice guy!

Exhibit C?

Greta Van Fleet - Highway Tune

I was so impressed with these kids when I first heard them, and this song is excellent. But when I read an interview with the singer who totally blew off his "singing like Robert Plant" that really make me think he's a piece of crap. Sure can sing though... even if he doesn't give credit to clearly his biggest influence.

If I remember right, the guitar player is his brother, who has no problem saying Jimmy Page was a huge influence.

I think country did sort of become what mainstream rock and roll once was… but this song is a little hard to take. Not saying I hate it, not at all. Just don’t care really.

Example 1…

Joe Diffie - Third Rock From The Sun

wait wait wait… Exhibit A….
