John Paul Young – “Love Is In The Air”

by Paul

I’ll be quite honest – “Love Is In The Air” by John Paul Young used to really get on my nerves! But as I suppose it can be considered part of the legacy of the Seventies – it was a disco hit in 1977-1978 – I thought I’d include it here. John Paul Young was […]

Gary Moore – “Wishing Well”, “Parisienne Walkways”, “Don’t Believe A Word” And “Still Got The Blues (For You)”

by Paul

As I mentioned previously, British (actually Northern Irish) rocker and guitar legend Gary Moore has made the Free track “Wishing Well” very much his own, and in fact, until the other day, I always thought he wrote it! Here is his studio version of “Wishing Well” This is Gary Moore playing “Wishing Well” live in […]

Linda Ronstadt – “When Will I Be Loved”, “You’re No Good”, “Blue Bayou”, “It Doesn’t Matter Any More” and “First Cut Is The Deepest”

by Paul

Linda Ronstadt was a name you heard a lot in the Seventies, her biggest hits included “When Will I Be Loved”, “You’re No Good” and “Blue Bayou”. By coincidence, these are just about the only ones of her many songs I can recall… I found a couple more that I recognise though, but I can’t […]

Puhdys -“Ikarus”, “Ikarus II” and “Mephisto”

by Paul

I first came across the East German band Puhdys back in either 1978 or 1979 on a trip to Germany (before I lived there) and bought their album “Pudhys 5”, with tracks like “Ikarus II”, “Mephisto” and “Wilde Jahre” (Wild Years). Pudhys, who were heavily influenced by artists like Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, were […]
