Was looking for a live version of Ghost In My House last night by R.Dean Taylor . Couldn't find one but did find this version by a great Yorkshire singer , a lady called Sarah Collins .
Not only a great voice but not a bad looker too and cool with it ! She's done over 300 YouTube video covers of Motown ,Northern Soul and 60s / 70s .
Her back story is that she took up singing after recovering from a brain tumour .
OK it's karaoke to a backing track but good quality considering it's recorded in her front room ! Can actually hear all the words in her songs too .

https://youtu.be/bjOvkKMSRSM

A good Fleetwood Mac cover too .

I haven't opened the link but... mmmm guess it's My Sherona. If so I had that on 45. I wonder if they were a 1-hit-wonder.

Meanwhile I came upon this rather wonderful old vid -

Free - All Right Now
'This is a very rare clip released Circa 1969 of Free performing All Right Now (live). Released in Australia in B&W. My favourite clip by this band and highlights Paul Kossoff's signature vibrato. Best lead ever done by Kossoff!'

Early BB King, 1956 compilation album. The lyrics in the 2nd song are hilarious.

Apologies in advance, I'm going to be totally self-indulgent here.

Spotify has created a playlist of my most-played music from 2017. No real surprises for me, but here are my favourites.....

Crossroads (Live)
Eric Clapton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM6qZhGid80
There are zillions of different versions of Crossroads, but this is my favourite by far, much slower than the 'classic' versions. A very tentative intro, then becomes recognisable, and characterised throughout by a very rigid and strictly timed drumbeat. Recorded in 1978 in Stoke-on-Trent I believe, and this track alone can justify its application to be the City of Culture.

House of Liars
Cam Penner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfEJKlfr9pY
This was the title music to a TV drama a year or two ago. Subsequently found a few other Cam Penner songs I like.

East Houston Blues
Rodney Crowell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn-7vxAozGQ
No idea how I found this, probably randomly playing stuff from Spotify

Carol (Live)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa5vlMlU95Q
A happy, feel-good, foot-tapping classic with brilliant boogie-woogie piano at 2m25s

All along the Watchtower (Live)
Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vF0f8eehuI
Yes, Dylan and Jerry Garcia, a match made in heaven. What's not to like?

The House at Pooneil Corner (Live)
Jefferson Airplane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHIKmlaDeI
A marmite song, you'll love it or hate it. This is the last song of the Airplane's morning maniac music (at 09:00am!) at Woodstock, and it's dark and ominous and a typical improvised live performance from the Airplane. Brilliant vocals from Grace Slick..... "middle mic, turn it up"
They also played this on a rooftop in New York in Dec 1969, beating the famous Beatles rooftop concert by 7 weeks... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAJJE5Wo_OY

A Rainbow in Curved Air
Terry Riley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy3W-3HPMWg
Bought this in 1969 after hearing it on the John Peel programme. It was the inspiration for the intro to The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again

High Hopes
Pink Floyd
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jMlFXouPk8
The final track on their final album (I reject Endless River) and it's become my favourite. Masterful, effortless performances from Gilmour and Wright. The Floyd's best-crafted song, in my view.

Run Run Run
The Velvet Underground
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGqwy_DQnS4
Lou Reed's first band, managed by Andy Warhol. Unappreciated in psychedelic 1967, but became critically acclaimed in later years

Who do you love
Bo Diddley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAGoqMZRLB4
First heard this live by the Doors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6BFg1Ku9iU, didn't realise it was a Bo Diddley original from 1956

The Thrill is Gone
B,B. King
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fk2prKnYnI
An irreplaceable legend.

The follow-up song, "Good Girls Don't," went to No. 11 in the U.S., so I'd say they did pretty well - of their first two singles, one went to No. 1 and was the top song of 1979, and the other almost cracked the top 10.

And just for the record, the Knack had an impressive six-week run at No. 1 in Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1979 with "My Sharona." It started in the week of Aug. 25, when the band kicked Chic's "Good Times" out of the top spot, and ended with the week of Sept. 29, after which Robert John took over at the top with "Sad Eyes."

'The Fall - Wings (Official Video 1983)'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m2lfk4Bm34


From a thoughtful and insightful article cum obituary by Neil McCormick, the Daily Telegraph's music critic:
'Some art broadcasts on a wide wavelength, lit up like a billboard that you can’t but fail to see. Some art, though, acts more like a laser, an intense but focused light, fired into the darkness. But if it hits you, if it picks you out of the void, it can light you up with a personal intensity that broader, more obviously crowd pleasing art will never achieve. If you got The Fall, if Mark E Smith’s voice wormed its way inside your head and your heart, you were a fan for life.'

I'm not one for posting on RIP threads but as this is a music thread instead, and although it's impossible to choose a favourite Fall song, the one I first reached for last night on hearing the news of Mark's passing was this (and it is 'Nice Music' so in keeping with the OP): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmdndTuRBjY

I first saw The Fall in March 1979 at The King's Hall, Belle Vue, Manchester and last saw them at The Institute, Birmingham in May 2015. It's incredible to think that's the same band over a 36 year period. it's longer than I've been married, and older than my kids. I went through periods of not seeing them for years, but like an old friend, every now and then, when they were playing close by and I was available, I went along. I never went out of my way to see them, and they were never my favourite band. Always the same kind of gig, but always different too.

Hope you enjoy the track, especially if the news today was met with the thought Mark who?

I know little about The Fall, except that the band members changed every 5 microseconds, except for Smith, so it's not really the same band over 36 years. :D

Trust me, even with over 60 people joining and leaving, to anyone who ever saw them, it's the same band. As Mark himself once said, and as widely reported today, "If it's me and yer granny on bongos, it's The Fall."

"Night Time," the Escorts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkENH4glHgY

I really like the moody feel of this song, which was covered by Elvis Costello.

Without turning this thread into our own version of Radio 6's 'The Chain', here's another song covered by Elvis Costello, and which I heard performed live last night by the original artists (well, two of them anyway): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlAj3dLXY3U The bassline in particular is fantastic IMHO and sounded great last night.

And whilst I'm on, is she really going out with him? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThcXEqxI_IQ Also part of the set last night, and also brilliant.

This was interesting, it rang a bell, I liked this video, then later learned she topped herself. Judging by the lyrics, one of those troubled souls who can't get over it.
