G L I Believe In Father Christmas
1975 Greg Lake : I Believe in Father Christmas
Lake a former band member of King Crimson and Emmerson, Lake and Palmer Released this song that I Struggled to place at #2 instead of #. My love of Progressive Rock obviously influenced my favouritism of this track. Was kept from the top spot in the UK Charts by the one and only Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen.

Kept of the #1 spot only by two re=issues by John Lennon in the year of his death it peaked at #3.

Eric Clapton I Shot the Sheriff

Eric Clapton : I Shot the Sherif A Bob Marley song Eric took it and gave it a reggae rhythm and blues twist. Marley’s version was pure commercial reggae and Eric’s fusion gave it a progressive take and a fresh feel. Erics story is a long one and therefore will take many visits to his music to tell in full. His first really big break came in 1963 when he joined The Yardbirds and stayed with them...

    As I have stated earlier, this is by far my favourite. The instrumentation and lyrics are brilliant. It is perhaps all the better, for the one thing it lacks namely a big sing-along chorus, so these days it suffers compared to the schmaltzy crap that dominates our xmas listening whether we like it or not.

    Thanks for playing this, might I suggest Frijid Pink's version of "House of The Rising Sun" which got to No 4 in the UK charts in 1970.... Very different from the classic version by The Animals, but with the added attraction of fuzz.... I suppose that Scott McKenzie should be paired up with The Flowerpot Men song "Let's Go To San Francisco"?

    She was one of a kind. I often thought she had poor management that she wasn't more popular. Although Brand New Key was a mega hit, it gave her a bubblegum image and her deeper, insightful work was overlooked as a result. Her later albums, Stoneground Words and Photograph, demonstrated her growth as an artist and a powerful vocal range. My favorites are Lay Down and Cyclone. As far as covers go, her rendition of Jim Croce's Lover's Cross is gorgeous

    So I have to comment this... the cocaine nonsense about Bobbys death does not need to be brought up. The man was one of the best singers ever. The miniscule amount found in his system when he died is suspect. His family, friends and Bill were all shocked with the findings. No one saw him take anything, or saw him under the influence, and nothing was found in his room. The whole thing is suspect. Bobby had 95% blockage.
