Belated Happy Birthday Jack! Hope you had a good one... 👍☺️🎶🎁🥂 That's exactly it - back in the day, I remember my dad looking 64+ when he was in his early 40s, everyone did then! Mind you, that was 'Man at C&A' for you.. 😂 64 really is like being 40 these days..

+1 Yes, it's a beautifully moving performance by Judee Sill.. And the song is incredible..

Stunning...

Great choice @Frank Blank I'd never heard of Judee Sill until the brilliant Laura Viers wrote a great song about her a few years ago ('Song for Judee' ). 'The Kiss' by Judee Sill is one of the most beautiful and profound songs I've ever heard, yet sadly, its almost unknown. Anyway - great choice!

Couldn't agree with you more on that point!

Wow! That is unbelievably brilliant.. One of the biggest songs ever, amazing band and choir making the most incredible sound, and as if that weren't enough, having to perform it in front of Zeppelin themselves.. But she absolutely smashes it.. Wow! 👏👏👏

That's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing @Stingray5

Couldn't agree more with you both about Imelda May.. I remember seeing that performance on Jools a few years back and it was absolutely spellbinding! We were lucky enough too get to see her 7 months later at the Latitude Festival and she was brilliant, as was her band. But as vocalists go from around this part of the world in this era, she's right up there IMHO.

Merry Christmas Folks! Great thread. 👍😊 Thought I'd add a few of my favourite singers/singing for you... Can't believe this man hasn't been mentioned yet... No words, just pure emotion and some of the most beautiful chords ever IMHO... And some gorgeous harmonies to finish with... Have a fab Xmas day!

I haven't done any of the research on it like you have Jack, but my sense of it has always been that Macca has had a raw deal over the years from the mainly pro-Lennon press.. Something that took on an even more zealous edge after Lennon was assassinated.. Come the day that Macca is no longer here, I suspect that the history of it all will get rewritten more fairly and Macca's unbelievablely brilliant contribution to music / culture over the last 60 years will finally get the proper recognition it - and he - deserves.

Fabulous - that's a 'must see' movie for 2021!! Thanks for sharing... 👍😊

... be an archaeologist. And given how antiquated, heavy and out of date some of my bass gear is, I'd say I've pretty much almost achieved my youthful goal! 😁

😳🤔 Was that the illegitimate son of Leo Fender, Jim Marshall and Mr & Mrs Acoustic talking?

Me too. Of course, it's all subjective BS anyway...
