This is from the Fleetwood Mac concert in Boston over a decade ago Stevie Nicks' voice is as good as it ever was, but then she's a bit "Ethel Merman" in her vocal range.... it's small. Conversely, Lindsay Buckingham's voice in my opinion, hadn't endured as well, though his guitar playing is still as good. Stevie in late 2020 with her own group, still as good and with the same backing singers as in the previous video, she's had in her solo concerts for a very long time.
I quite like her. I've a 45 of this in one of my jukeboxes in the "70/80s" section. Can't believe she'll be 73 this year.
There was an often repeated detective series on TV called, "Cold Case" that ran for over 100 episodes. It was unusual, as the subjects were seen as they were at the time of the crime which could be anytime, even fifty years ago and as they are in the present day. Part of the appeal to viewers were the "close outs" where a recording of a popular tune at the time of the crime was played over clips from the show. These started to be posted on YouTube by different peopole and have a cult following. My favourite episode (which I have on an mp4) is this, posted on YouTube twelve years ago. It's quite emotive. Read the many comments below the video, six years ago, a guy posted, "I'm not going to lie....this sequence had me in tears." He got 183 likes. I can understand that.
This is one of my favourite seventies records. I've a copy in one of my jukeboxes. It's a sad story. Errol Brown was asked if the girl in this song he wrote actually existed. He told the Mail On Sunday January 25, 2009: "I thought of the title and connected it to my puppy love for a girl in my class in Jamaica when I was nine. Her name was Barbara Blackwood. She would have no idea it had anything to do with her." True, the Mail On Sunday contacted her and she said she didn't remember him from school. Sadly, Errol died in 2015, at the age of 72.
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys admitted that they copied the harmonies. For me this doesn't date. (Edit better version, same as I have on a CD) and I can play it...after a fashion. https://app.box.com/s/6sqzq1rsp4oksqk6tqzy
I found this on a Canadian Hi-Fi message board and found it interesting. It reminded me of the coffee bars in Soho in the late fifties and early sixties, where patrons actually listened to the tracks they selected on the jukebox. I don't remember them being somewhere where there were a lot of loud conversations. Not like these days where in most places people tend to shout over the music. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/dining/vinyl-records-listening-bar-kissaten.html
