Damo Suzuki, the Japanese musician who spent a handful of memorable years as the lead singer of Can, died in February 9, at the age of 74. Can’s label, Spoon Records, did not disclose a cause of death in its announcement, but Suzuki had been diagnosed with colon cancer in 2014. “His boundless creative energy has touched so many over the whole world, not just with Can, but also with his all continents spanning Network Tour,” the label wrote. “Damo’s kind soul and cheeky smile will be forever missed.”
Eurythmics - Belinda (with Dave playing bass and do you recognise the drummer . . . ?)
Play until the end . . . . . .and at THAT moment everyone fell in love with her!
Never Gonna Cry Again . . . . . .
(recognise anyone else!) Holgar Czukay on French Horn, with Clem Burke on Drums)
We don’t think so much about birthdays this time of year but what about this . . . . . . Christmas Day marks the Birthday of perhaps our finest ever pop voice!
Who IS this bonnie lass?
Of course its legendary Eurythmics ad solo virtuoso
ANNIE LENNOX
Ann "Annie" Lennox (born 25 December 1954)
and of course today would have been Alex Chilton’s birthday
The Boxtops - The Letter (bought when it came out)
and finally . . . . . . . . more Annie
Annie [Nightingale] introduces the whole Shebang! (in case you don’t believe me!)
worth listening to again? I think so!
Annie Lennox- lead vocal and multi instrumentaist (flute here)
Dave Stewart (writer and bass player)
Roger Pomphrey - lead guitar
Clem Burke - drums
Penny Tobin - keyboard and backing vocals (cruelly underrated and under exposed. If Annie chose her as backing vocals she wasn’t messing about she chose the best to back her, like Eddi Reader )
Tim Wheater - flautist
Holgar Czukay - French Horn
I like her - can you tell?
First time I saw the band and Annie sing . . . . . . . . . hook line and sinker!
