Friday Videos

Happy Birthday to Cindy Birdsong of The Supremes, who doesn't sing on this great standard from the group ("My World Is Empty Without You," with Diana Ross of course, along with Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson; Birdsong replaced Ballard in April 1967 - love the documentary-style footage blended in, and I didn't realize how Berry Gordy buried the background vocals until I heard this)...



...Happy Birthday also to Carmen Appice of Vanilla Fudge, keeping the beat at 60 ("You Keep Me Hangin' On," covering The Supremes)...



...some seasonal fare with The Killers ("A Great Big Sled" - thanks to Jim McGuinn at Y-Rock on WXPN for this one tonight)...



...and Steve Martin and Paul Simon perform "Silver Bells" in a manner which I'm sure you've never heard before, and hopefully will never hear again.
