Great song, great video for the time but it really shows it's age these days.
(#5718940) Leave It

is the sixth track on "90125" by Yes from 1984.
A music video was chosen (out of eighteen) for it by Lol Creme and Kevin Godley (late of 10cc) using (new at the time) computer manipulated images of the band members.

From their debut album Psychocandy in 1985.
(#5711222) (The) Inner Mounting Flame
Posted by fatdaddy on 16 Sep 2025 at 1:12AM
is the debut album by Mahavishnu Orchestra from 1971.
This was :
   John McLaughlin – guitar
   Rick Laird – bass
   Billy Cobham – drums, percussion
   Jan Hammer – keyboards, organ
   Jerry Goodman – violin
The album was #11 for the Billboard 1972 US Top Jazz Albums.
What a wonderful continuation of the genius of McLaughlin following his performance on Miles Davis' "Bitxhes Brew".
P.S. GT wouldn't permit the correct title of Davis' album.

(#5710397) Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)
Posted by fatdaddy on 10 Sep 2025 at 10:20PM
written by Jerome Brailey, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins is probably the most recognizable P-Funk tune. From the 1975 album "Mothership Connection" it became Parliament's first million selling single the next year. The single reached #5 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart and #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart.

Their titles can be confusing when first attempting to locate their fourth studio album.

The title track from their second album, released in 1984.

is the eighth track (out of nine) on Steppenwolf 7 from 1970. It is an instrumental that includes horns and was written by the other (other than John Kay) guitarist Larry Byrom. It ends then briefly swells followed by probably the best analogue explosion they could put on vinyl at the time.

Posted by fatdaddy on 30 Aug 2025 at 11:43PM
written by Sam Andrew is the opening track on "Cheap Thrills" by Big Brother and the Holding Company from 1968.
It's a song of many incongruent parts thrown together with Janis promising to "Knock you! Rock you! Sock it to you now!" in the .. refrain? ... bridge? then finishing the song with her highly recognizable "Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do"

was written by Curtis Mayfield and was a #1 hit by Major Lance in 1963.
In 1964 Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders reached #4 with their version.
Johnny rivers re-titled it "Curious Mind (Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um)" and reached #4 in the 1978 Bilboard Easy Listening charts.

Posted by fatdaddy on 12 Jun 2025 at 10:57AM
I put too may ls in the title. It's "'Til I Die".
The entry by rab2591 is entitled "Til' I Die (Alternate Mix) - The Beach Boys"
(#5692305) 'Till I Die
Posted by fatdaddy on 11 Jun 2025 at 12:27PM
is the 9th track on "Surf's Up" by the Beach Boys from 1971. It was a "b" side to a second release of "Long Promised Road" that charted #89. It is a transcendental reflection on life.
Second guessing the talent of Brian Wilson is not something I commonly do but there is a fan's 3:30 re-mixed version of this tune by rab2591 on a popular file sharing site that transcends even the original in my mind.
Quite an appropriate offering on this day that we lost the genius.
R.I.P. Brian Wilson.

evolved from "A Night with Daddy 'G' – Part 1" (an instrumental) written by Gene Barge, Frank Guida and Joseph Royster.
The instrumental from 1960 was recorded by the Church Street Five.
The song from 1961 was a #1 hit for Gary U.S. Bonds. Gary wrote the lyrics. It is on the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll" list of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
