We have seen Roxy Music did the majority of their career without Brian Eno's wild participation, this tends to get forgotten quite a lot. Moreover, they remained true to their laissez-faire ethos, though many would claim their swan song, Avalon, abandoned that. However, I have retorted on a multitude of my posts about the record that the disc represents the perfect ending to their opus, i.e. the LP shows a lyrical speaker achieving his happiness, so where could the group go after this? No surprise they didn't augment their reunion with a platter, they knew Avalon's sumptuous soundscapes function as a fine closure to their story. As you can hear on the title track, he's still visiting parties, but this time he locates what he was always looking for in them.
Listen My Brother is the name of a musical ensemble that performed several times on Sesame Street during its early seasons. The ensemble was made up of 16 youngsters from New York City, as a means of bringing talented young people from Harlem together and seeking out scholarships to send them on to college. The group was put together by Peter Long of the Apollo Theater. His wife, Loretta Long, plays Susan on the series.
The 16-member group performed at the Apollo Theater in New York City starting in the late 1960s, opening for many of the venue's famous performers, and made several musical contributions to Sesame Street, including a song about counting to 20 (which is included in the 2006 DVD release Old School: Volume 1 and which Loretta Long sang on her 1970 album as well as on The Flip Wilson Show that year), and "You Gotta Learn," which the group composed.
One of the members of the group was Luther Vandross, who sang lead vocals on "You Gotta Learn" and who later became a noted solo artist. Other members included Carlos Alomar, Robin Clark and Fonzi Thornton. [x]
Roxy Music - True To Life
A-T-2 308 Roxy Music - Avalon
This album maybe as mythical as island of arthurian legend it's named after or Arthur's sister Morgan pictured on the sleeve. Avalon is sometimes called an ultimate classic by music journalists, the winner of the final battle in the classic rock and pop games (and the highest accolade that can be given to transatlantic rock and pop, no doubt Patrick Batman owns it on CD.) The ultimate classic rock and pop games have mostly white british or american men in the rankings, you might get a Prince or someone but they're the exception to the rule. It's one of the reasons I'm writing this micro blog to highlight the variety and scope of music being made in 1982 rather than the handful of acts that usually get mentioned or played. More Than This is probably one of those songs but a good album is a good album Roxy Music's eighth and final studio album Avalon, it's been written about a lot https://classicalbumsundays.com/album-of-the-month-roxy-music-avalon/

The Main Thing the dance mix on the b-side of Take A Chance With Me 12" single
Bryan Ferry is one of those people I have to divorce the music from the person. Funnily enough Kate Bush gets away with this a lot better the only slip she made was showing her appreciation for that posh bigot Theresa May which she had to backtrack on because it had an effect on sales! and then there's the blind spot John Peel
To Turn You On
Disco-Funk I Work For A Living (Nile Rodgers Long Version)
WHAT ? ANOTHER ALMOST UNKNOWN TRACK ?!
I was pleased to discover this remix today, it’s gracefully funky, mainly because of the guitar riffs coupled with some funky synths. It’s so short it’s making me sad !
Two years ago, I was listening to Côte Ouest (west coast), & I Can Do It. He has some interesting beats, as you can see with Gin Tonic (kind of psychedelic and... Well, weird.).
Enjoy your groovy saturday :)
Bonus : a rework of No Diggity ;)
