    RIP Jane Goodall (91), primatologist and conservationist

    Yes, I meant no disrespect to Dr. Goodall. Thank you to Mentor for helping on that. I was going to followup too. I heard the story on the radio yesterday. After Gary Larson and "Far Side" published the joke, her foundation reacted furiously against it, but when Goodall saw it, she laughed and...

    Songs that pay homage to deceased artists, no covers

    John Mayall for J.B. Lenoir, Chicago bluesman, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._B._Lenoir, died just 38 in a car crash in '67. Two songs, first in '67 album, second on Turning Point album in '70, and a live version here. I like the first tribute song and distinct voice Mayall had. Line in the...

    Music Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better?

    Wow!!! Those youngsters are musical prodigies, just amazing how skilled the very young can be. Don't see this one yet on thread. Huge amount of covers. https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/644/versions Found a good original, though he covered it too, but he made the most recognized version...

    Songs that pay homage to deceased artists, no covers

    Interesting. Here's photo of of Robin Menken from a 1970 album without the Fish. From wiki: McDonald was married to Kathe Werum from 1963 to 1966. On 31 March 1968, McDonald married Robin Menken, a year after his divorce from Werum. In 1968, Menken gave birth to the couple's first daughter...

    "Janis." One more from the Country Joe and the Fish second album in '67. From https://www.songfacts.com/facts/country-joe-the-fish/janis is this: Joe McDonald wrote this song for Janis Joplin when they were living together in 1967. According to Joe, she was upset with him for breaking up with...

    RIP. Richard Davies (22 July 1944 – 6 September 2025)

    They both had really good voices. I forgot this band, even their song titles, but when I listened now again to them, I recognized almost all of them. Brought back a lot of memories. "Give a little bit" was a huge hit in U.S. There is a long band and personnel bio in wiki, and seems they had a...

    RIP Robert Redford (89)

    He was good in all his movies. So many different favorites listed here, nice. Also, "3 Days of the Condor" and "Jeremiah Johnson", he was excellent in those too.

    Most Hard-Driving Music?

    Yes, thank you, you are right, I agree, very interesting bio. She's been singing and playing all her life, didn't know her history. I agree with her sounding a little like Janis Joplin. Wiki has it at the end of that bio as "Tedeschi's voice has been described as a blend of Bonnie Raitt and...
