Christian jukebox (good clean music to listen to)

What a powerful song about how music can move you. I absolutely love the end of this song as every musician stops playing their instrument and it goes completely A Capella including the audience.

Heard this great jazz tune by Gregory Porter today while I was doing my local volunteer work. I volunteer for the local food bank a couple hours a week.

Sad to hear that original bassist Roger McLachlan has died from pancreatic cancer at age 71. Sadly this band no longer has any original members. I always felt they gave an early Eagles vibe especially in this song. "It's a Long way There" by the Little River Band from 1975! 50 years ago hard to believe!

I was actually thinking when I heard it again, it was more like Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Released in 1965, yes 60 years ago and it still sounds great. The Beatles "Nowhere Man"

I like listening to jazz when I  volunteer locally for the Food Bank in our town. I head this great organ instrumental by Reuben Wilson called Honey Dripper.

How did I miss this gem of a song, written by Sting performed by Gregory Porter?

Because you're fairly new here. I posted this video on June 5, 2018, almost seven years ago!

Well at least I found it. There is so much great music and we just need to find it. I have loved listening to the jazz station when I volunteer! I am sure I will continue to find gems that I have never heard before.

From 1999 in one of Paul Young's last performances as he would die in 2000 from a sudden heart attack. Mike and the Mechanics performan All I need is a Miracle. 

From that same group we also have a heartache of a song, sung by Paul Carrack when he was with Mike and the Mechanics "The Living Years"

John Fogerty "Bad, Bad Boy" from Blue Moon Swamp released in 1997.

What a talent, Linda Ronstadt singing 'Long, Long Time" from 1970.

From 1975 the group The Crusaders released "Chain Reaction". What a great album. The Crusaders:

Wayne Henderson - trombone

Wilton Felder - saxophones, bass

Larry Carlton - guitar

Joe Sample - Fender Rhodes electric piano, clavinet, synthesizer

Stix Hooper - drums, percussion

 

Only Larry Carlton (played on many Steely Dan songs) and Stix Hooper are still alive.

 

That was the year I really started to like jazz and jazz influenced music. This is a song called "Creole" off of that record. And "Mellow Out"

Peter Frampton's incredible cover of the Lenny Kravitz song "Are You Gonna Go My Way".  No singing just Frampton's skill with a guitar! From his album Frampton Forgets The Words released in 2021.  Peter Frampton, the renowned musician, suffers from a rare muscle disease known as inclusion body myositis in 2015. 

Here's Frampton from the same album cover the Stevie Wonder song "I don't Know why". Just incredible guitar playing. Especially considering his health!

Quote

Inclusion body myositis is an inflammatory and degenerative muscle disease. It features abnormal protein deposits called inclusion bodies that cluster inside your muscle cells and contribute to weakening them. Over time, you’ll notice your limbs growing increasingly weaker, and you may develop difficulties with ordinary tasks.

Wow, incredibly talented yet fighting against such terrible odds to play so well.
