Friday Videos

R.I.P. Ruth Brown (she was referring to Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records, in the narration for "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean")...



Happy Birthday to Canadian music icon Gordon Lightfoot ("Song For A Winter's Night," produced with wonderful images by Stonewall Studios)...



Happy Birthday also to Gene Clark of The Byrds ("Turn, Turn, Turn" on "Ed Sullivan" in 1965...good times, good times, and no damn lip-synching for these guys - and yes, that's David Crosby in the pancho - "a time for peace; I swear it's not too late")...



And since it is a Friday after all, let's return to the '80s with Cameo ("Word Up," with LeVar Burton as the detective).
