I AM a great admirer of Georgie Fame's musicianship so I can only say that I'd much rather he stuck to something with a modern feel instead of a pop feel. It's a shame he's done "Bonnie And Clyde" because it's a song anybody could do and it doesn't do any justice to the great musician Georgie is. That "Magical Mystery Tour" was very enjoyable. This EP is honestly the best value record I've heard. I've got the Left Banke version of "Walk Away Renee" which was beautiful. I wish they'd bring it out here again because the comparrison would be very interesting indeed. I admire The Monkees immensely. When they started out they were in a very bad position. But they got stuck in and just worked to win some respect from other musicians. Englebert will sell a million, of |
course. It's a good song, well sung and well produced, so people shouldn't citicise. Small Faces are going to be very popular this year. They've a great attitude to music, and it's good to see they're not trying to be hippy anymore. I'm sick to death of "Judy In Disguise", but that comes with being in America so often. Plastic Penny's disc is fantastic. I like this "Whiter Shade of Pale" sort of feel. Solomon King, I'm told, is a great bloke. But he's just a good singer. Nothing else. I just love Petula Clark. She's not a great singer, by any means but she's a great performer. This latest Beach Boys single is disastrous - and "Wild Honey" was as well. I cannot think what's happened to the Beach Boys. |
