Happy Birthday to American singer Rachel Sweet, who is turning 62 today. A very talented singer, who started out in1978 at the age of 16. She had some minor success, before she retired from the mucic industry in the mid 80’s. After that she’s had been doing pretty well in TV as a producer and writer.
To celebrate Rachel’s birthday, here she singing her version of the Carla Thomas song B-A-B-Y. Damn, what a voice for a 16 years old girl

Let us celebrate the memory of Pink Floyd’s keyboard player Rick Wright. He would have turned 81 today if he hadn’t passed away in 2008. He was a pivotal part of Pink Floyd’s music, with arrangement as well as composing.
Among other things, Rick Wright wrote the music for The Great Gig in the Sky, which seems a most fitting way to celebrate his memory. Here he is, live from 1990, on the piano behind Clare Torry’s soaring vocals. I raise my glass to the memory of Rick Wright

Today it’s 50 years ago since American singer Ellen Naomi Cohen passed away. While also known as “the Queen of Laurel Canyon”, she is withoud a doubt best known as Mama Cass, a nickname she apparently did not like herself.
Mama Cass is best known for her time with The Mamas & the Papas, but she was also part of two folk groups prior to that, and she did eight solo albums. As a tribute to Mama Cass on this day, I choose a song from the first of her folk bands, The Big Three. I propose a toast in memory of Mama Cass
The Big Three - Young Girl’s Lament (1963)
While we’re at it, such a fine singer as Mama Cass deserves one more. This song was recorded in July 1973. Sadly the title of this song were not to be for her. About one year later she died at the age of 32, 50 years ago today.

Came across a “strange” record. I thought it could be suitable here as an invitation (perhaps mostly for guys, but you never know). The text is on YouTube

Happy Birthday to another of the grand old men in rock music. Garth Hudson of The Band is turning 87 today! He played keyboards and occasionally other instruments on the The Band’s classic albums from back in the 1960’s and 70’s. He was the oldest in The Band, yet he is the last surving member of their classic line-up
After The Band split, Garth Hudson has done some solo albums, and a lot of session work. While in The Band he mostly stayed in the background, and he was the only member who did not sing. So it’s difficult to find a representative song for Garth Hudson’s birthday.
It Makes No Difference from The Band’s farewell concert The Last Waltz may be as good a choice as any. His organ can be heard through the song, and towards the end he steps up front for a saxophone solo 
To Garth Hudson - Happy Birthday!

The Only Bay & His Superstar Friends - Whole Lotta Love
Awesome kids! The little fellow on the guitar is nine years old, and his name is Bay Melnick Virgolino. He’ll probably never meet Jimmy Page, but I suspect he’ll pick up a few more guitar licks on his own anyway

Sierra Hull - Mad World
Bluegrass cover of a fine 1980’s hit by synth-pop band Tears For Fears. Goes to show that a good song works well done in different ways.
