How on earth can you define that as singing?! All he did was shout over the top of the equally awful noise of the guitars and drums.

I’d like to pay tribute to the English guitarist and songwriter Mick Ralphs. Yesterday it was made public that he passed away recently aged 81. He co-founded two bands, namely Mott the Hoople and Bad Company, both well known bands in the rock world. He has also done some solo things, taken part in reunions of both bands and had his own local blues band. He was never one of the flashy or flamboyant guitarist. just an all-around solid and groovy player 
When Mick Ralphs quit Mott in 1973, he went on to even bigger success in the supergroup Bad Company, when the band’s self-titled debut album got to number 1 in the US. The opening track on the album is Can’t Get Enough, and it’s written by him. So here it is, to Mick Ralphs memory. Thank you for the music Mick, may you be remembered 
Bad Company - Can’t Get Enough (1974)
Back when Mick Ralphs turned 80 in March last year, I posted this.
The song here is Ready For Love, also penned by Mick Ralphs. This gives us an opportunity for a little rock trivia. Ready For Love was recorded for the first time in 1972 for Mott the Hoople’s album All the Young Dudes. Apparently Mick Ralphs was not pleased with the way Mott singer Ian Hunter sang the song, so he decided to sing it himself. So here is Mick Ralps as a guitarist…and as a singer.

Happy Birthday to the English singer Colin Blunstone, who is turning 80 today. In the 1960’s he had considerable success as the singer in The Zombies, an excellent 60’s band. Later he’s had a good solo career, as well as guest appearances with other artists, most notably four albums by the Alan Parsons Project.
Colin Blunstone remains active to this day. He is scheduled for concerts in the US next month. So here is The Zombies’ debut single. Happy Birthday, Colin Blunstone

Whenever I think of Fleetwood Mac, the main tune (as far as I am aware there were no lyrics written for it so it really IS just a tune) which comes to mind is ‘Albatross’. I heard it again the other day. Great piece of music.

Today I’d like to give a shout out to the memory of Richard Elvern Marsh, better known as Sky Saxon (1937-2009). He was the singer in The Seeds, an American band who got into the lower regions of the US charts with a couple of singles in 1966 and 67. Their best known song Pushin’ Too Hard, spent 11 weeks in the charts, peaking at number 36. It has since become a staple in the garage rock/proto punk canon!
Today it’s 16 years since Sky Saxon passed away. So here’s one to his memory…

Carly Simon turnes 82 today
this was her biggest hit, but also very controversial, there was a lot of speculation about the man it was about, years later she admitted it was about Mick Jagger, who even did background vocals on the song

David Good Evening. If you like the instrumental side of Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green also wrote Oh Well. On the A side Oh Well has lyrics but on the B side is an instrumental version of the song. The song was released in 1969 prior to Peter Green leaving the band.

Hello Iain. 
Thank you for telling me about this. I am quite unfamiliar with almost all of their music, with the exception of the famous one that I mentioned so it’s interesting to learn something more about the band.
