I vaguely remember getting distant stations at night that you couldn't pick up in the day; they played R&R, plus R&B. Like you said Pryso, Dick Clark changed everything for teenagers; it came on about the same time most of us got home from school, and we couldn't wait to catch the latest steps. It's funny how we all shared the same sentimental songs; "girls", at least the ones we had a crush on, seemed more complex than geometry, but we were determined to figure them out, which always seemed to involve heartbreak; that brought us to these sentimental songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZh6ZSRoYg |
Nina Simone was playing piano at a lounge to earn money to pay for tuition that would further her studies in classical piano when the owner demanded that she sing to accompany herself. That was the beginning of history as we know it. I still enjoy her instrumentals without any singing; she plays a mean jazz piano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHeIASIwBp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynnb6ejdEz0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeMfDflHM1E |
