From “Tunde Williams plays with the Africa 70” – Mr. Big Mouth released in 1977.

[…] Tunde joined Fela’s Koola Lobitos as a trumpeter in late 1967, and remained with Fela through 1978, when he and several other bandmembers left the group acrimoniously following the Berlin Jazz Festival in September of that year. In Afrika 70 […]

Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording
1974 Canada pressing

Last spin of the night.

A great soundtrack to a very weird movie.
As a songwriter myself, I adore Paul Williams.
As a kid, it started with “Rainbow Connection”, but as I got into my teens, I discovered this batshit fucking movie that not only STARS Paul, but was scored by him as well. The film sent me into a deep dive of Paul’s songwriting, and exposed me to just how brilliant he is.

It’s a very odd movie, and so are the songs, and not everybody is a fan. I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me as a teenager, or why it’s stayed with me all these years, but it’s essentially MY Rocky Horror Picture Show.

But I fully understand why people hate it. 😂

I’m just not one of those people.

Light Shine

My fav from Jesse Colin Young is released on April 20, 1974. It's his fifth solo album (The Youngbloods) and ended up his highest-charting solo album. After Song For Juli, Jesse leaned into a more experimental, jazzy folk album. The three-part "California Suite" is gorgeous. #jessecolinyoung #lightshine #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #folkrock #countryrock #countryfolk
