It's also Boxcar Willie's birthday, not sure if he had any "hits" per se, he seemed to do a lot of covers and put on a great show, playing a hobo like character.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V2P4iGVNyU
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxcar_Willie
Lecil Travis Martin (September 1, 1931 – April 12, 1999), whose stage name was Boxcar Willie, was an American country music singer-songwriter and air force personnel sergeant, who sang in the "old-time hobo" music style, complete with dirty face, overalls, and a floppy hat.[2] "Boxcar Willie" was originally a character in a ballad he wrote, but he later adopted it as his own stage name.[3]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh5hV2M22nk
I'd known a bit about him and his songs but this really showcases how with youtube, I could learn a lot more about the singer.

Happy birthday, Art Pepper, one of the few postwar alto saxophonists who didn't fall to
Charlie Parker's feet and stay there for eons, who made a passel of great sides but maybe
none better than when he hooked up with three-fifths of the first classic Miles Davis
Quintet for . . .

Marshall Lytle-Bill Haley & His Comets:
Some of Bill Haley's comets left the group and formed the Jodimars, it looks like Lytle was one of them.
The Jodimars was an American rock 'n' roll band that was formed in the summer of 1955 and remained active until 1958. The band was created by former members of Bill Haley & His Comets who had quit that group in a salary dispute. The name of the group was derived from the first letters of the first names of the founding members: Joey Ambrose (real name Joey d'Ambrosio) (saxophone), Dick Boccelli (under the name "Dick Richards") (vocals and drums), and Marshall Lytle (string bass). Other members included Chuck Hess (guitar), Jim Buffington (piano) and Max Daffner (drums).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy8moToAChk
That's why I posted the 2 songs that I did...they were recorded prior to when Lytle left...
"1933, Born on this day, American rock and roll bassist Marshall Lytle, best known for his work with the groups Bill Haley & His Comets and The Jodimars in the 1950s. He played upright slap bass on the iconic 1950s rock and roll records 'Crazy Man, Crazy', 'Shake, Rattle and Roll', and 'Rock Around the Clock'. Lytle died on 25th May 2013."

I recently used a site to download music for my personal use.

But this morning it said it was no longer available in my country (USA)
Is this typical of free downloaders?

Beyonce's birthday today, happy birthday, I don't know her music well enough. She did a good job singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl; she also made what I believe is some sort of anti-cop song. Anyway, from Houston, so deserves a mention and one of the biggest artists around in the present day.

All Music, Every Kind, Is Welcome!

http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/born_today
To break the ice, a few birthdays, sorry if I don't always post the better known "signature" type songs.... but I will for the first artist, because imho, it is a great song.
So, a few of today's birthdays:
Al Stewart,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqZc7ZQURMs
I once heard commentary on him that his voice sounds like John Lennon's, I can hear that but I probably never would have made that observation.
David "Clem" Clempson, Humble Pie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDCe9Gn8jvI
Freddie Mercury and my choice is not one of the many real "signature" songs by Queen but I liked this one when I got this CD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6H1ejwKAfk
-
More birthdays:
John Stewart: Member of the Kingston Trio for a few years starting in 1963; and the writer of Daydream Believer, I wasn't sure which Kingston Trio songs he played with but I do know, he wrote the big hit that the Monkees had.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iho8DRdqQCU
And one of many songs the Kingston Trio performed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2nme4Kf6aU
So, those are starters. One day, the music per the birthdays, might be soul with a lot of motown or country or golden rock and roll oldies, today, we have quite a few from England... but not this next guy.
Loudon Wainright, not his signature song, we know what that is but I've always liked the "Swimming Song" a lot, very creative and original.

Buddy Holly's birthday was yesterday, the 7th, Patsy Cline's today, the 8th... they both sadly went down in plane crashes. And interestingly, Otis Redding's birthday is tomorrow, the 9th.
Now word comes out that Troy Gentry, one half of Montgomery Gentry musical twosome has died in a helicopter accident in New Jersey.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj9b3QqTOtY
It is with great sadness that we confirm that Troy Gentry, half of the popular country duo, Montgomery Gentry, was tragically killed in a helicopter crash which took place at approximately 1:00pm today in Medford, New Jersey. The duo was scheduled to perform tonight at the Flying W Airport & Resort in Medford. Troy Gentry was 50 years old.
Details of the crash are unknown.
Troy Gentry's family wishes to acknowledge all of the kind thoughts and prayers, and asks for privacy at this time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqsRuScGZMY
Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes
You know this old world is full of singers
But just a few are chosen
To tear your heart out when they sing
Imagine life without them
All your, radio heroes
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream
No, there will never be another
Red-headed stranger
A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues
The Okie from Muskogee
Or Hello Darling
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
[Chorus]
Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
God bless the boys from Memphis
Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis
Much too soon he left this world in tears
They tore up the Fifties
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie
And old 'Go Cat Go' still echoes through the years
You know the heart of country music
Still beats in Luke the Drifter
You can tell when hew sings I Saw the Light
Old Marty, Hank and Lefty
Why I can feel them right here with me
On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night
[Chorus]
Yes I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes?
Songwriters: MAX BARNES, TROY SEALS

I read up on Artie Tripp earlier, according to his wikipedia entry, he is a chiropractor in Mississippi now. Interesting.
This website says he was born in 1939: http://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays.php
Wikipedia entry says 1944: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Tripp
His discography at the wiki page, worked with Al Stewart, Captain Beefheart and others. Very talented.

With the passing of Don Williams, it reminded me a bit of Jerry Reed for some reason. Many mourned when Jerry Reed passed away a few years and said to be a very fine guitarist/banjo player...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHZJej98_T0
And Don Williams was actually in the Smokey and the Bandit movie. This has dialogue dubbed into German but the part where Don sings in a nightclub is in the original English. Audio is a little low on this.

Likewise, that Telly Savalas video from Friday had poor audio, here is another one from Telly; great actor, I think I liked him best in the Twilight Zone... doing the Bread song:

"Let's Be Personal" Broadcast June 5, 1973 CFRB, Toronto, Ontario
Topic: "The Americans" (click to return)
============================================================
The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the earth.
As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did.
They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
The Marshall Plan .. the Truman Policy .. all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.
I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.
Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star or the Douglas 107? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or women on the moon?
You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, most of them ... unless they are breaking Canadian laws .. are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.
When the Americans get out of this bind ... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone ELSE buy the Israel bonds, Let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.
Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.
I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.
This year's disasters .. with the year less than half-over… has taken it all and nobody...but nobody... has helped.

Now, a few birthdays:

Mick Talbot of the Style Council, this band is somewhat a derivative of the band "The Jam".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmVkOlZFF3Y
That's to start off things, I do see some redundancy with some bands already mentioned in the past few weeks. Happy Birthday to Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, he's the one that has also explored a lot of "world" music in his solo career, so I'm sure it is all very good.
Still, a little more on Don Williams, he did sing in "Smokey and the Bandit", I never connected it to this song,
"Tell ol' Burt, I've seen all his movies".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvT0p184ZLY
Most of Williams' well known songs were written by O'Dill or Danny Flowers, Don did write some. O'Dill wrote Tulsa Time, I guess Clapton heard Don Williams version and decided to record it himself. Something like this if not exactly.
Last b-day mention, yes, the coach with the funny hat, it's Tom Landry's birthday too and Charley Pride sang a song "Dallas Cowboys" that folks can look up. Pride also has an ownership interest in the Texas Rangers and played some low level baseball. Conway Twitty did too. It seems a number of well known names have something like that in their background.

B-day boy, Mel Tormé, well regarded and famous, even if a number of us might not be familiar with his work.

Interestingly, those instruments like the banjo and mandolin were common in Ireland, Scotland and England. The music may well be derivative from that point of view. Nothing is new under the sun.

That Ray Charles Singers is really something, I've heard that song, I've heard of the RC singers. I didn't know it was distinctly different from the Ray Charles we are all familiar. That is very very good.

Really enjoyed the Shelby Flint, very nice and Bobby Black too. I just like music from that era, thanks.
We talked about Wildwood New Jersey before and DooWop hotels, so, this is not "new" news really but the Daily Mail does have an article on this today.
Stunning images of the Doo-wop era motels making a resurgence in New Jersey beach town Wildwood as tourists opt for simple vacations from a by-gone age
As people are increasingly seeking a reminder of a simpler past - Doo Wop motels have come back into style
The motels are known for their vibrant neon signs, spiraling ramps, plastic palm trees and L-shaped designs
The island of Wildwood in New Jersey contains highest concentration of hospitality architecture in the US
Several cities make up the five-mile island that is home to motels built in the 1950s and 1960s
Professor Mark Havens chronicles 10 years of photography of the famous motels in new book - Out of Season: The Vanishing Architecture of the Wildwoods

They are okay, not sure why they dub them as "doo wop" hotels unless that is a way to say they are "retro".

The Ramones were or are a great band; (we wouldn't talk about the Beatles in past tense "were" I don't think). One of the bands whom I had to get some CDs of to replace the albums, they are a great story and tight to listen. Some of their concert videos are pretty good on youtube as well.

You could, unfortunately, talk about the Ramones as "were," considering none of the original
lineup is alive as of Tommy Ramone's death in 2014; he was the last of the original quartet
to pass away. (Singer Joey Ramone was the first, followed by bassist Dee Dee Ramone and
guitarist Johnny Ramone. All the original Ramones except Dee Dee died of one or another
type of cancer.)

Yes, I'm aware of this info; all the same, it's difficult to say whether one says a band "were" or "are" great.... so it's just semantics. I've even heard it said the Rolling Stones "were" a good rock and roll band though they are still around....

For me, the Rolling Stones' musical greatness ended with Exile on Main Street. If they'd
called it a career after that album, they'd have equaled the Beatles for going out in a blaze
of glory as the Beatles did with Abbey Road. (For the unintiated: Let It Be was
their final release, but the Beatles put that album to bed before starting Abbey Road.)

I've heard some by the Viscounts previously as well.
Fascinating, just a bit like Dickie Lee; he was born in Memphis, probably a good place to be poised to try to make it in pop or country music. I had that song "9,999,999 tears" on a cassette, I recorded it off the radio, it wasn't even a cassette of music you buy in the store so I'm sure many of us can relate to that. Someone else recorded "tears" previously but he was able to have a fairly good hit with it. My favorite by him though Patches is very good too. I know he does "Tell Laura I love her"; it's alright I guess but not the original.

A few birthdays today and what better way to get off on a Sunday, if it is proper to say, but with some Fiddler on the Roof, Anthony Newley was born on this day in history.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYp8JKA5KUc

More birthdays;
I heard this one years after it first came out but I liked British invasion music,
Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers, he has also toured recently in Brit Invasion revival type shows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvQKycCgekQ
So, I ended up getting a copy of it... "Girl On A Swing" is another song the band did that I quite like, "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey" of course, were big hits of their's.
Bless Her Heart and Soul, the Lovely Linda ... McCartney was born on this day in history: Linda is an American, most everyone else in this post though is from the UK.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foqtA1KzaNI
Peter Salisbury, drummer for the Verve:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lyu1KKwC74
-
Lastly, per the above link:
1940 Barbara Allbut, rock vocalist (Angels), born in Orange, New Jersey
1942 Phyllis "Jiggs" Allbut Meister, rocker (Angels), born in Orange, New Jersey
Meaning both of these members of the Angels were born 2 years apart? Maybe an expert is needed to decipher this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbdbkZ98ci8
(Nice little blog entry on the Angels http://whitedoowopcollector.blogspot.com/2009/05/angelsmy-boyfriends-back.html ; )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhVMQrFE9cY
Adding this in, there seems to be some confusion as to whether this band is a sort of "post-Angels" band, and there may have been a "pre-Angels" band called the Starlets.... anyway, just posting.
Lastly, Jean Louis Lully, French composer was born in this day on this day in history, so ending with a bit of classical musical:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyRevGDMVNU
And I'm sure there are many others who deserve mention.
-
And, I can't forget this one, father of the Texas blues, from the Dallas area I believe, some plaque around there has been placed in his honor, Blind Lemon Jefferson. He recorded so long ago, that some of the recordings one hears you might think, "wow, that sounds old", so it might take some getting use to, recording was a bit primitive then but he was quite a bluesman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3jG_tsTn_w

Cool Water
Marty Robbins
All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water
And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool clear water
Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for you and me?
Water, cool clear water
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9JQkxu_ofE
The Great Marty Robbins was born on this day in history, really, one of the all time greats of Country and Western music in this case, because his music was often geared towards the great Western United States, he himself was born in Arizona.
And he wrote many of his own songs such as this one....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3aCU1gYop0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1olMblKImM
Marty Robbins also had some crossover success with rock and roll; with "White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation", sung here by Ireland's "Davitt Country Band".

Today in 1972: the death of Liverpool rock legend Rory Storm, whose
group the Hurricanes was once the top band in Liverpool before a little
quartet known as the Beatles overtook them . . . and hired his drummer
Ringo Starr to replace Pete Best. Born Alan Caldwell, Storm died in a
suicide pact with his mother.
Seven years to the day later, former Thunderclap Newman and Wings
guitarist Jimmy McCulloch died of a heroin overdose. As a member of
Thunderclap Newman, McCulloch was the youngest guitarist to appear
on a record going to number one in England:

. . . and Helen Shapiro (the clip is actually from 1963), here having a little
clowning fun with three of a certain about-to-be-worldwide-huge quartet . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw0N9oCZCdE
Trivia: The Beatles toured with Shapiro in 1963 as her opening act, at a time when
she was still big enough in England to command headlining status despite her hitmaking
days ending. It was the Beatles' first national tour of England; they got the tour most
likely because both Shapiro and them were signed to EMI labels. Shapiro and the Beatles
got along well enough that, after she suggested they make the newly-written "From Me
to You" their next single (they took her up on the idea), John Lennon and Paul McCartney
tried to return the favour by writing a song for her.
Incredibly enough, Shapiro's EMI label, Columbia (no relation to the American Columbia),
blocked the song from her and she didn't know for years to follow that she might have
had a crack at being the first performer anywhere to record a Lennon-McCartney song.
She might also have gotten a second wind as a recording artist; her chartmaking days
had pretty much ended by the time she met and toured with the Beatles.
Shapiro also got first crack at another song when she went to Nashville later in 1963
to record with those fabled session players (including guitarist Grady Martin and yackety-
saxophonist Boots Randolph; the album, Helen in Nashville, anticipated Dusty
Springfield's Dusty in Memphis though it didn't do half as well), but EMI refused
to give her version a push and the song found its way to Lesley Gore, who was just a
gifted kid from Tenafly, New Jersey at the time, and who was about Shapiro's age,
though Shapiro had already had a two-year chartmaking run in England.
The Beatles song Helen Shapiro never got to record:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfRQPECfwYw
The song EMI refused to push before Lesley Gore made it a chartbuster:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDT_KSrWGuw
And, a slightly later Shapiro recording in which she sings its co-author Carole King
right under the table, though said co-author improved as a singer in later years:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SK-z54L7Vc
Shapiro spent the next decade recording but failing to become anything like the
hitmaker she was as a teenager, but she eventually became a respected album
artist in England who broadened her approach to include jazz and gospel.

In addition to an amazing number of theme songs, Mike Post created the "chung, chung" sound effect for Law and Order.
He “synthesized his chung, chung electronically, combining six or seven different sounds to get the right dead-bolt effect,” (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/examining-legendary-dun-dun-sound-law-order-article-1.2790190) including a gavel banging, a cell door closing, and “the sound of 500 Japanese men stomping their feet on a wooden floor.” (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/examining-legendary-dun-dun-sound-law-order-article-1.2790190)

Great stuff, Wynn Stewart, pioneer of the Bakersfield sound, back then, sometimes music was not always so national, small labels selling their songs, more exposure in certain markets....

For birthday boy Mark Farner, the only Grand Funk Railroad song that transcended their (many)

kick it off . . .

Mar-Keys "Last Night" is an ace tune. I'll have to re-read the birthdays today, I missed that one.
Of all things, at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, they played songs like that during the "Beach Volleyball", I made a point of noticing that song afterwards.

Addendum; probably no early posting of tomorrow's songs tonight.

Hey, it makes sense! They also could have played these during beach volleyball and it would
have made sense, as long as the musical subject seems to be Stax . . .
