The lack of money is the root of all evil; you can safely walk the rich sidewalks of the North side of Chicago morning noon or night with your jewelry, and no one will give you a second glance.On the subject of "Dusty Springfield";      https://w...

Rok, Detroit was very prosperous in 66; "Motown" was going strong, people drove new cars and lived in nice homes. When I went there it was the first time I had ever been to a nightclub where they parked your car.It was also the first time I had g...

Rok, who needs some stinkin notes; that music sure makes me feel good, I was a young fashionable single gentleman, rolling in a brand new 66 "Deuce and a quarter", and those tunes were on the jukeboxes of all of the most fashionable "Bistros" that...

Except for the studio/live part.  The studio always benefits those with lesser vocal instruments; hence the expression “We can fix it in the mix”.  Frogman,  those were your words; explain to me what I misinterpreted?

Frogman, I'm two days older than black pepper, I've been around. I've heard a lot of records, and seen a lot of live performances, but not once have I heard a record that compared to a live performance; I'm sure Alex's live experience when he saw...
