Je viens d'écouter les quatre albums #kayokyoku publiés par Akiko Kosaka entre 1974 et 1976.

Oublions charitablement le deuxième. En revanche, les trois autres, et surtout le premier et le dernier, démontrent à la fois ses talents de compositrice, de pianiste et d'interprète.

Sa voix puissante m'évoque souvent celle de Mama Cass et ses compositions aux arrangements très orchestrés rappellent fréquemment le meilleur #brillbuilding de la même époque, de l'autre côté du Pacifique.

Je renvoie ici au premier des quatre albums, un véritable chef-d’œuvre du genre.

Lorsqu'on les écoute, ou qu'on les réécoute, on se demande soudain ce qu'il pourrait bien y avoir de mieux que les albums de Dionne Warwick sortis chez Scepter Records, entre 1964 et 1972, lorsqu'elle était l'interprète privilégiée des chansons de Burt Bacharach et Hal David...

#MusicHistory #OTD in 1972 it was a #HotAugustNight at the just opened that summer outdoor #PineKnobMusicTheater in a wooded area outside Detroit...and #NeilDiamond , one of the country's hottest #TouringActs was playing the final show of an amazingly well received five night run at the venue, entertaining yet another near capacity crowd that week of nearly 7,000 under the covered canopy ringing the stage, with several thousand more in the $3 #CheapSeats out under the stars on an expanse of green grass lawn. Neil's 90 min set covered a wide swath of music from his songbook dating back to his #BrillBuilding & #BANG records days, such as #CherryCherry from 1966, the lonely guy anthems #Shiloh, #IAmISaid & #SolitaryMan along with handclappin' faves like #SweetCaroline #CracklinRosie and show closin' encore Brother Love's Travelin' Salvation Show.
