I wanted to be clearer on this song… People say that ska, jazz and scat come from the blacks … This song was made before most blacks even knew what a piano was… And liszt certainly wasn’t influenced by them!
This is a HUGE song in music history… Not many people know that!!
I kid you not … There’s probably 100 people in the world that know that liszt was playing jazz in the. 1860’s. … You’re welcome!

So… Michael “the hit maker” McDonald, sings the word “Darling” in this funky/ethereal song… Many of you might not know it.
Oh c’mon, you don’t know michael “the hit maker” mcdonald ??

Edumacation ! To quote a bushism,

You folks need to be "educamated " on music !
You folks always go for the obvious songs on this part of the board …
It’s sad 
New page after two posts in a row … Easy for someone to miss this !!
I’ve gotta put this song in here…
All andy gibb wanted to be, was a beegee, and his brothers never let him in the group… He died of a drug overdose…
Before he died, Barry gibb wrote this song for him…
It’s the only song where all 4 brothers sang together…
People like to make fun of the beegees but they are probably the best harmonizers (better than the beach boys) in music history, and some of the best song writers… Here’s a little groove from the 70’s…
The beegees have the distinction of being on the billboard charts longer than anyone, solo or band — 45 years!! Try to pull that shit off!!
I’m going to make another kenny loggins post with some commentary …
Kenny wrote this song when he was in his mid -late teens about a friend of his … Can you imagine writing this in your teens ???

This next song he wrote for his father diagnosed with cancer!! It speaks for itself…
Father songs !!!

This is an obvious song… But great!

This is not as obvious a song … Not really soft rock from them, but this band INVENTED the whole fucking genre if soft rock !! And they were the first band to use synthetic sound in a track (moog synthesizer )!!!
I love teaching music history like this…
This is one of breads concept songs…
Sung in French and English !! Very rare for songs in English !!!

When one of the greatest songs in music history only has 40,000 views, you know something is wrong with the culture!
I’m going to post more than a few really fast, including my last one, so I hope you see then all…
You shouldn’t underestimate singing shows …
Let’s rewind a couple hundred years to my favorite mozart concerto!!
Something funny about the first video of the girl on the singing show … In the middle of the song, Jennifer Lopez says “fuck!” And it’s cut from the song … You’ll see it if you watch the video
There was this really bizarre composer named godowsky, who decided the Chopin etudes (studies) were WAY to fucking easy… So he decided , what the fuck… I need to write these FOR THE LEFT HAND ONLY!! In the process he completely revolutionized polyphony in music… Here’s a sample…

But that wasn’t enough for him… He thought “one étude at a time is too easy… How about I take two etudes and play them on top of each other!!”

!!!
Sorry, see my last post…
I did a quick search and found what I thought was what is known as a godowsky “combination study”
Here’s a real one !! Two of them are known to be lost…
