scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music at 11. Gravitating toward pop after discovering rhythm and blues, he joined Bluesology, later John Baldry’s backing band, in the mid-1960s. He met his major songwriting collaborator, Bernie Taupin (b. May 22, 1950, Sleaford, Lincolnshire), after both responded to an advertisement in a trade magazine, and his first British recording success was with “Lady Samantha” in 1968. His first American album, Elton John, was released in 1970 and immediately established him as a major international star. Throughout his career John demonstrated a supreme talent for assimilating and blending diverse pop and rock styles into a propulsive, streamlined sound that was extroverted, energetic, and somewhat impersonal. His recordings were among the first to homogenize electric guitar and acoustic piano with synthesized instrumentation. His vocal style, with its Southern accent and gospel inflections, was strongly American-influenced, as was his pianism, an ornate, gospel-flavoured elaboration of the stylings of Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. His first American hit, “Your Song,” in 1970, was a love ballad that combined the introspective mood of the era’s singer-songwriters with a more traditional pop craftsmanship. John’s early 1970s recordings paid homage to country rock and folk rock models such as the Band and Crosby, Stills and Nash. By 1973 John was one of the world’s best-selling pop performers. His typical compositions, written with Taupin, were affectionate parodies and pastiches of everything from the Rolling Stones (“The Bitch Is Back” [1974]) to Frank Sinatra ballads (“Blue Eyes” [1982]) to 1950s rock and roll (“Crocodile Rock” [1972]) to Philadelphia soul (“Philadelphia Freedom” [1975]). He also demonstrated deeper musical ambitions in longer works such as “Burn Down the Mission” on Tumbleweed Connection (1971) and “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973). Other notable songs from this period included “Rocket Man” on Honky Château (1972) and “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” on Caribou (1974). Beginning in 1976 with the album Blue Moves, his rock influences became less pronounced, and a more churchlike English pop style emerged in ballads like “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word” (1976), which typified the staid declamatory aura of his mature ballads. In the late 1970s and ’80s, as he experimented with other collaborators, his music lost some of its freshness and his popularity dipped a bit, but he remained an extremely popular mainstream entertainer who brought into the pop arena an old-fashioned gaudily costumed flamboyance reminiscent of the Las Vegas piano legend Liberace. In the 1990s John was the first male pop star to declare his homosexuality, suffering no noticeable career damage. With lyricist Tim Rice he also wrote songs for the film The Lion King (1994), and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” won the Academy Award for best original song; the movie was adapted into a Broadway musical in 1997. The same year, a new version of his 1973 song “Candle in the Wind,” revised by Taupin to mourn the death of Diana, princess of Wales, became the most successful pop single in history, selling more than 30 million copies.Sound of the 1970shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02787063094852303222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676685266463871543.post-79524907382165314692021-05-23T12:32:00.000-07:002021-05-24T02:21:41.999-07:00Music of Bad Company<iframe width="100%" height="120" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?hide_cover=1&light=1&feed=%2Fjohn-grant4%2Fbad-company-in-concert%2F" frameborder="0" ></iframe> bad company in concert (BBC Session, 30 Jan 1987) Bad Company are an English hard rock supergroup formed in Westminster, London, in 1973 by singer Paul Rodgers and guitarist Mick Ralphs, later adding drummer Simon Kirke and bassist Boz Burrell.[1] Peter Grant, who managed the rock band Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982. Bad Company are most well known for their song ‘’Bad Company’’ off their album Bad Company written and recorded by Bad Company. However, Bad Company enjoyed great success throughout the 1970s.

The Swedish group consisted of Agnetha Faltskog who was born in 1950 and married fellow Abba member Bjorn Ulvaeus in 1971. Bjorn was born in 1945 and in the 200s was accused of not paying enough tax. The government came after him for 90 million Krona. He won the case and owed them nothing.<br /><br />Benny Andersson was born in 1946 and married fellow Abba member Frida Lyngstad in 1978. Frida was born in 1945 and in 1968 won the Swedish version of New Faces a talent show.<br /><br />The group <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ad2c1a50-47d6-4ddb-906d-dcc1670d46a2" id="b8155fcf-6b3e-4916-bdf9-d23102754e32">have sold</gs> about 400 million units and still continue to sell. They have won so many awards that it is unlikely any other group will be ever able to do the same.<br /><br />Abba in 1973 had a minor hit in the UK called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL0EoXdpOqg">Ring Ring</a> and written by Benny and Bjorn and translated into English with the help of Neil Sedaka. But it was 1974 when Abba exploded to a huge TV audience and won the <a href="http://hits-of-the-70s.blogspot.com/2011/08/eurovision-song-contest-1973-and-1974.html">1974 Eurovision Song Contest</a> from Brighton with the amazing<a href="http://hits-of-the-70s.blogspot.com/2011/08/eurovision-song-contest-1973-and-1974.html"> Waterloo</a>.

margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">John Simon Ritchie was born in 1957, and in his short life he would have fame and money and more. The problem of course was that he could not handle it, and a bright spark was dead at a very early age.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><br /></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">His name Sid Vicious got his name from Sex Pistol member John Lyndon who named him after his pet hamster called “Sid” that had bitten John. The name stuck, and for the rest of his life the Sid surname gave him an image that really fitted the Sex Pistols anarchic image.</div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><br /></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">Sid was in his first band “The Flowers of Romance” in 1976, he also appeared in “The Clash Keith Levine” and was also considered for the “The Damned” but he never showed up. He joined the Sex Pistols in 1977 after Greg Matlock had left. He fitted in so well into the group, in fact the manager later said that he would have considered putting Vicious as the front-man if Lyndon not been there.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/raEXGXw5VJM" width="400"></iframe></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><br /></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">In 1978, things just started to go wrong. The Pistols were deteriorating on the US tour; it got so bad that the group split up after a concert in February of that year. Also at this time Sid had met Nancy Spungen, who had been following many bands and even tried to get with Johnny Rotten, but ended up with Sid. They both became addicted to heroin and their lives just fell apart even more, although Sid did play occasionally with the “Clash” and “Rat Scabies” and ex Pistols member Matlock.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><br /></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">In October 1978 Nancy died at the Hotel Chelsea in Manhattan. She was found by Sid on the floor with a stab wound to her stomach, the stab came from a knife that Sid had purchased. Sid was arrested and charged with murder.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M7e1b31WOIc" width="560"></iframe></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><br /></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">In his confused and drugged up state he admitted to stabbing her, but denied killing her. He ranted on how much he loved her, but also how she treated him like “Shit”. Ten days after this Sid tried to commit suicide by cutting his wrists; he was taken to Bellvue Hospital, where he was later charged with assault against Patti Smith's brother. He later was sent to jail for 55 days and was released on February 1<sup>st</sup> 1979.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><br /></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"> On that night he went for a meal with his girlfriend Michelle Robinson, and he was now clean from drugs. But during the dinner another party brought drugs along and Sid took some. He injected three times and was found dead during the morning.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><br /></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">A few days later his mother found a suicide note.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;"><i><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">We had a death pact, and I have to keep my half of the bargain.

In the end his ashes were scattered in a Jewish graveyard where Nancy had been buried the previous year. They seemed like a 1970's version of Bonnie and Clyde.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/R2lilvnx4q0" width="400"></iframe></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="400" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?light=1&feed=%2Fjohn-grant4%2Fpunk-featuring-contributions-from-the-late-tommy-ramone-john-lydon-and-pete-shelley%2F" width="100%"></iframe><iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?light=1&feed=%2Fjohn-grant4%2Fmatt-everitt-talks-to-john-lydon%2F" frameborder="0" ></iframe>Sound of the 1970shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02787063094852303222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676685266463871543.post-18600950883915425552021-05-03T23:01:00.000-07:002021-05-04T08:56:52.262-07:00Artist Watch:Roxy Music<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Vs1yLDQ6Kmc/TXxrfL4n5ZI/AAAAAAAAAPg/rqeCDzw5vOM/s1600/ROXY+MUSIC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Vs1yLDQ6Kmc/TXxrfL4n5ZI/AAAAAAAAAPg/rqeCDzw5vOM/s320/ROXY+MUSIC.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>Back in the <a href="http://hits-of-the-70s.blogspot.com/">70s music</a> era Bryan Ferry formed a group, that in one way or another is still going today.

The British version of the album does NOT include their first single, although in other territories it does.
