Doohickie Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) This has become one of my favorite Christmas songs, and at least once a year I like to watch this mashup of the versions of this song when Darlene Love sang it on Letterman, which became an annual tradition on the show. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Edited December 22, 2023 by Doohickie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Will Lee is a MFer! He's not only laying it down on bass, but between him and the GTR player, they are doing the backup singers parts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 I love how Paul Schaefer recreates the Phil Spector "wall of sound" in the studio, especially in the later versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1979 that seemed like eons earlier, but it really wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 RIP 'Family Man'. He and his brother helped modernize the rythem of Reggae in the 1970s. Sly and Robbie refined it a bit in the same era and others followed them, but the basics were put down and defined by the Barrett brothers with Bob Marley. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68196823?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Man do the Grammies ever suck. I rarely watch and if I do scroll past its inevitably the swift cam on Taylor in the audience or like last nights ***** show it was the Oprah cam focusing on oprah in the audience every couple of minutes. Reminds me why I hate this show. That and the fact I’ve never heard of the people winning all these awards but they did finally give Joni Mitchel a grammy for the first time ever. I wonder what she thinks when she sees Swift win 14 every year ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Take some of the world's most insufferable people and put them in a room and you have the Grammies.. Or a SS meet-up eh 😉 Seriously, just vaporize some hallucinogenics or something in the room and then it'll be a real show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure out who your brother is by looking at 4 time winners. For example, I eliminated Marvin Hamlisch and Lisa Lopes because they've both been dead for more than 10 years and Lopes would be a sister. Carol King and Lizzo don't fit. Lenny Kravitz would be cool. David Russell would be a candidate but he's European. No problem if you don't want to share but would be fun to know.

They only do the main pop categories during the show in primetime, but that day, there are several shows going on with dozens and dozens of categories that nobody knows of. He won in the classical group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
