Friday Videos

Happy belated birthday to Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music ("Slave To Love," one of his solo hits, with lots of Michael Mann-ish touches to this '80s vid)...



...Miles Davis left us 16 years ago today (his solo from "Footprints" recorded in 1967 - I don't have the entire recording, but his music typically seemed to start and end as if by accident, though that of course was by design - as Wynton Marsalis said, you could find yourself captivated by his playing in a subtle way, or words to that effect)...



...guilty pleasure time; happy belated birthday (lots, I know) to Olivia Newton-John ("Have You Never Been Mellow" from "The Midnight Special" in 1975 - I'm wearing my bell bottoms at this very moment, I swear)...



...happy ontime birthday (number 79) to Koko Taylor ("Wang Dang Doodle," with Little Walter)...



...yet another happy belated birthday to Marvin Lee Aday, otherwise known as Meat Loaf ("Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad," from back in '77 or so)...



...and finally, happy belated birthday to Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos ("Don't Worry Baby"; as a YouTube commenter said, if you can't move to this, you're either comatose or way too hammered).
