BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE (BTO
BACHMAN-TURNER
OVERDRIVE , a combination of the last names of the 2 band's
founders and the name of the trucker magazine "Overdrive":
Fach agreed to sign the band, but only if they worked hard to promote it with a
vigorous touring schedule, and used a new name that reflected both Bachman and Turner's
fame. Their new name was inspired by the truckers' magazine Overdrive
BTO was rejected by twenty-five record companies before signing
with Mercury records. Canadian rock band that enjoyed a string of hit
albums and singles in the 1970s. They reunited in the 1980s, leading to a lawsuit as one group,
led by Randy, toured as Bachman-Turner Overdrive and another, led by Robbie,
toured as BTO. A lawsuit between the brothers resulted.
How many people still remember
Bachman-Turner Overdrive? Okay, how about the songs "Takin' care of business,"
"Let it roll on down the highway," and "You ain't seen nothin' yet"?
Thought so. BTO had a bunch of gold
records in a very short time, but they did not last long enough (for personal reasons) to
put an indelible stamp into the world's consciousness. Worse, when they came back in the
1980s, they turned down a multimillion dollar offer from a promoter to manage their own
act; the music industry snubbed them, and they ended up playing to much smaller houses
than they should have. The band underwent personnel changes until half of it was new.
Then, at almost the same time, the "old" band formed to play with Ringo Starr's
nationwide tour. It was messy, and the names of their new records didn't help.
"Bachman-Turner Overdrive" had completely different songs from the 1974 record.
Their PR sheet actually quoted from a college newspaper (not that I minded :).
The band was
good. Their music was more sophisticated than most would credit, partly because most
probably never heard it in full stereo on good equipment. (High quality headphones are the
best way to experience BTO). But they were never too good at pleasing critics. When they
kept to a fairly uniform style (Four Wheel Drive, Not Fragile), they were called
commercial and repetitive. When they deviated, they were criticized even more, and that in
an era of truly pretentious bands. Another
reviewer noted BTO's blue collar attitude and emphasis, and it's certainly true that if
they were auto-oriented they were also good workmen. They worked hard at their trade, and
their music had a surprising polish especially when compared to contemporary hard rock
bands. Most of their mid-life songs are fast and energetic. Their trademark sound was
strongest and most consistent on Not Fragile and Four Wheel Drive, with traces on BTO, BTO
II, and Freeways; it was completely gone by the time Rock N Roll Nights came out.
They played good music in their comeback. They had
energy, they had great new songs, they had no publicity and they just couldn't do it on
their own. Times had changed. Simply touring and being good weren't enough without
commercial backing and bucks for the DJs. So they disappeared back into obscurity. Randy
Bachman got together with Neil Young and they did a couple of solo albums, but they never
really got any airplay. At least they had a little fun and we got a little good music.
Wonder if we all bought their CDs, whether it would change
anything? Probably not, but we'd have some good music. Just avoid the compilations and go
for the individual CDs - they're cheap and they're good and they have more songs if you
get all of 'em than the compilations do...... CLICK TO CONTINUE ===>

Pete Agnew: "The last time we wanted to make an album in the style which was the most
typical for us, we made Boogaloo, and like it. When they told us to make another
Razamanaz, and many people said it, but we wanted to do it our way. Boogaloo is the way it
is because it was created how we felt the music, not to create another Razamanaz, though
it is a little closer style-wise than some of the softer albums."After 1990, when the
borders opened up, we started to play in Russia and some other countries. The atmosphere
was just excellent. Much better than concerts in America let`s say. When the people like
the group and the group feels it, you really play well. At that time we arranged
many concerts exclusively for Eastern Europe."

Richard Starkey was born in a small two-story terraced house in the Dingle area of
Liverpool, on July 7, 1940, making him the oldest Beatle, three months older than John.
His father, who's name was also Richard, was originally a Liverpool dock worker, and later
worked in a bakery where he met Ringo's mother Elsie. His parents broke up in 1943, and
Elsie later married Harry Graves, who little Richie called his "step ladder".

Long cool woman 
Composer(s), autor(es)= Allan Clarke - Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway (I found a site saying Tony Macaulay also is one
of the composers, as you can check making a search)
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por (originally recorded (or also) by) = THE HOLLIES
"Long Cool Woman"= Perhaps the song that was furthest from The Hollies traditional
music. This song is styled exactly like Credence Clearwater Revival, an obvious homage to
them. The song begins with a heavy beat and moves into a fast-paced beat with reverb and
solid guitar work...... one of The Hollies best works.
Roger Cook= Born Aug.19 1940 in Bristol, England but spending
most of his professional songwriting career in Nashville, Tennessee, has received
many accolades, including five Ivor Novello awards. member
of SODS (Society of Distinguished Songwriters) and the only British songwriter ever
to enter The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Sometimes Credited As
David and Jonathan . Cook chronology.asp
when he got expelled from high school he went to work plastering and bus conducting until
he fell for a girl and wrote her a song and came to decide he didn’t love the girl
but did love writing songs. And I visited
Rogercook.com and perused his discography of a thousand songs he wrote for everybody from
Andy Williams to George Strait to Elton John to Gene Pitney to Doctor Hook and the
Medicine Show to Bobby Goldsboro. And I
scrolled through the titles and stopped dead in the “L”s,
when I encountered the song title: “Let’s
talk dirty in Hawaiian.”....... click here to continue ====> www.davemcbride.com
Roger Greenaway=
Born 23 August 1938, Fishponds, Bristol, England, UK , Roger
Greenaway has been confirmed as the senior U.K. and European membership representative of
ASCAP, filling the vacancy created by the December departure of James Fisher (Billboard,
Dec. 18, 1993). ASCAP says Greenaway will take his post sometime around July 1, when his
precise title will be announced. Greenaway and his longtime partner,
Roger Cook, carried off a joint Ivor Novello Award last week, receiving the Jimmy Kennedy
Prize for longstanding achievement. Roger Greenaway finished recording his CD
"Wayt" in June 2001, after three years in the making.
Roger worked with Mike Gibson of INCA productions in Wellington, some fantastic musicians
like Stefan Wolf, Daniel Bar Evan and it seemed countless others, to record 12 great
pieces. A track from these sessions was chosen for TV 3's "Get your act
together"(1999).... Yes. Having met Rikki Morris and Debbie Harwood and with their
help Roger proceeded to record with Justin Harwood and Rikki at the beginning of 2000 in
Piha and "The Bus" studios in Devonport. The album has been described as
alternative, retrospective and psychedelic....Sunshine
(creative outlet of Greenaway) now have their own recording suite and Roger is
really keen to work with new artists, producing their music and more importantly, getting
the sounds out there on media.
The 2 songwriters Rogers had their first success with
"You've got your troubles", performed by Jack Jones and The Fortunes in 1965. (It charted number 2
in UK). The following year, performing themselves under the pseudonym of "David
and Jonatan" hitted 2 times in UK= Number 11 with a cover of "Michelle"
from Beatles and number 7 with "Lovers of the world unite", one of their own
compositions.

Tommy
James= In 1964 a local DJ asked Tommy and the group to sign
with his new regional label, "Snap Records".
One of the 4 sides they recorded was an obscure song written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich
called "Hanky Panky". The group changed
their name to "The Shondells" and released
it as a single. It was an instant local hit but didn't break nationally and was soon
forgotten. Two years later, in May of '66, amazingly the record exploded out of Pittsburgh and "Hanky
Panky" was a smash! Unable to put the original group back together, Tommy went
to Pittsburgh alone and hired the first local band he could find to be The Shondells. Two
weeks later the new group signed a record deal with Roulette
Records in New York and "Hanky Panky" became the biggest hit
of the summer of '66. Thus began one of the longest strings of non-stop hits in the
record business. With the breakup of The Shondells,
Tommy continued with a solo career beginning with the writing and producing of the million
selling "Tighter, Tighter" for the group Alive 'N Kickin". Vice President Hubert Humphrey asked Tommy to head his
"Youth Affairs" commission while performing on his 1968 Presidential campaign.
Mr. Humphrey also wrote the liner notes for Tommy's "CRIMSON
AND CLOVER" album. They remained good friends until his death in 1978.....

At one point in 1987, Tiffany and Billy Idol,
with their versions of "I Think We're Alone Now"
and "Mony Mony", fought it out for the top
spot on the charts for a solid month, each eventually going number one. It was the first
time in music history that two cover versions of songs by the same artist went number one
back-to-back.
When Idol released his version, it became popular for kids dance and shout
(gritarem)"hey, hey, what, get laid (deite), get fuked" (changing
the instrumental break in the chorus 'Ooh I love you Mony, Mo, Mo, Mony'). Anyone
who went to a prom (promenade, baile estudantil) when this was popular,
verified this. Idol first released his first
version as a single in 1981, his first record as a solo artist after leaving Generation
X. (Vc vê q ñ é só com grupos q se faz sucesso). He believed in the power
of the song and insisted releasing his live version 6 years after (1987) which went to #1
US and #7 UK, his biggest hit...........continue in http://www.tommyjames.com/biography.php
Bo Gentry whose Life label the 1969 studio group Wind featuring Tony
Orlando (soon of Dawn) recorded on wrote the song Groovin' With Mr. Bloe and it was
recorded as the flip side of Wind's 1969 U.S. hit 'Make Believe').Their arrangement is
virtually the same note for note as Mr.Bloe's. I'm not sure but could it be that Mr. Bloe
is actually Bo Gentry ? or that he was involved in some way with the subsequent 1970
release of 'Groovin' With Mr. Bloe' ? http://www.coversproject.com/comment/47859
Ritchie Cordell
(+), born Richard Joel Rosenblatt, Brooklyn, NY, March 10, 1943, died on April 13, 2004 at age 61 from pancreatic cancer. He
will be sincerely missed by his dear friends, family and his colleagues in the music
industry. We are grateful to him for leaving us his beautiful
music...http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/4/prwebxml120984.php
With Ritchie Cordell writing and producing most of their hit material, Tommy James and the
Shondells became prime exponents of bubblegum pop. Indeed, the bubbly effect on the intro
to 'I Think We're Alone Now', as well as the song's innocent lyrics and heady melody, make
it the perfect example of a much-maligned genre. The party anthem 'Mony Mony', co-written
by Cordell, his songwriting partner Bo Gentry, Tommy James and Bobby Bloom, reached No 3
in the US and was a British No 1 in 1968. In the late '60s, Cordell left Roulette to join
the Super-K operation of Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz, composing disposable singles for
the one-hit wonders Crazy Elephant and the 1910 Fruitgum Company. He spent the '70s as a
publisher, songwriter and producer before working with Bow Wow Wow and Joan Jett in the
'80s. .......

Bobby Bloom (+) =
New York-based, Bloom began his career during the '60s as one of several backroom entrepreneurs,
including Anders And Poncia, Artie Ripp and Levine/Reisnick,
central to the Kama Sutra/Buddah group of labels. He also made
several solo recordings, including Love Don't Let Me Down
and Count On Me, and later formed a
partnership with composer/producer Jeff Barry.
Together, they contributed material for the latter-day Mon kees, notably Ticket On A Ferry Ride and You're So Good To Me.
Bloom's singing career blossomed with the effervescent
Montego Bay which reached the US Top 10 and
UK Top 3 in 1970. Its adept combination of
bubblegum, calypso and rock was maintained on "Heavy
Makes You Happy" and THE BOBBY BLOOM ALBUM, which Barry produced. However, despite this seeming ascendancy, a
troubled Bloom was killed in an accidental shooting in 1971
(sic).

At age 11, I walked into a music store and walked by the rows of albums. I
passed one album in particular and that image burned itself into my mind and branded me
for life. I didn't know who or what I saw, but four masked figures in three piece suits
leered at me from the cover of their album and I was sort of confused. What the heck was
that? Was I dreaming? Well...2 years passed and my all wise and knowing brother came home
one day and threw an album on my lap...that day in the music store finally made sense...it
all became clear now. It wasn't a dream I had...but a breakthrough...that one moment came
full circle...Kiss had entered my life and I wouldn't be the same again. "Dressed To
Kill"...the third installment by the musical phenomenon of the century had landed in
my grasp and all my top 40 and motown experiences were soon to be laid to rest.

The Rolling Stones W&M By Mick Ja |
An otherwise ordinary day in 1960, a teenaged Mick Jagger made his way
through a railway station in Dartford, England, with a few blues albums tucked under his
arm. It's impossible to say what was going through his head that day but his timing was
perfect. He walked at just the right pace, took just the right turns, made just the right
decisions, and ran right into an old childhood acquaintance, Keith Richards, with whom he
would quickly rekindle a friendship. A short four years later, the two stood at the center
of the most controversial and some would say greatest rock-and-roll band in the world .

Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band that originated in Los Angeles in 1985. The name was derived from the pseudonyms of two of the original members, Tracii Guns and Axl Rose. Earlier names of the band were Rose and Hollywood Rose. Although Tracii Guns left by the end of 1986, the Guns N' Roses name stayed. In 1989, Guns N' Roses were presented with the American Music Award for favorite Pop/Rock single for Sweet Child O' Mine. At the televised annual award show in 1999, Duff McKagen and Slash appeared intoxicated and used strong language while accepting the award for Best Heavy Metal Album for Appetite For Destruction, and Best Heavy Metal Song for Paradise City. Because of the incident, subsequent American Music Award shows have been broadcast using a five second delay. Due to a no show by Axl in Philadelphia and the resulting riot by fans, Clear Channel, the tour`s promoter, cancelled all remaining shows of the tour........ continue on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_n'_Roses

Rock & roll is king 
Composer(s), autor(es)= Jeff Lynne
©1983
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por
(originally recorded (or also) by) = Electric Light Orchestra
Jeff Lynne= Usually candid and open about
his own work and musical ideals; almost never speaks publically on other topics. Fans
who've met Lynne usually found him kind, and straightforward.
Began Electric Light Orchestra with Roy Wood
as a side-project to their band 'The Move' ; the side-project soon eclipsed the main one,
and the Move disbanded. Transformed his Los Angeles home into a
housewide recording studio, with patch bays in every room; used this extensively in making
his latest album, the re-constituted ELO's 'Zoom'. Actually worked
sparsely with Electric Light Orchestra in the recording studio; band members would learn
Lynne's new songs just prior to recording, and usually would hear them next on the
radio... shortly before tour rehearsals began. Live recordings of ELO tend to reflect a
rawer sound than their highly-polished studio work, though in performance the accompanying
light-show and theatrics well made up for it. Began his musical
ventures with an old two-track tape recorder in his parents' living room; Lynne would
sometimes overlay so many parts the oxide would wear off the tape.
Let's twist again 
Composer(s), autor(es)= Dave Appell
Letra (lyrics) = Kal Mann
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por (originally recorded (or also) by) = CHUCK BERRY
Dave Appell = Arranger / bandleader /
guitarist / songwriter / producer. The name Dave Appell will probably be
associated first of all with the Cameo-Parkway label, in the history of which he played a
substantial part. Appell worked as an arranger for several big bands during his wartime
service, including Jimmie Lunceford's black orchestra. During the early fifties his Dave
Appell Quartet was the studio band for comedian Ernie Kovacs' first TV program in
Philadelphia. Changing the name of his group to the Applejacks, he recorded for Decca
Records and appeared prominently in the 1956 Alan Freed film "Don't Knock the
Rock". Next Appell and the Applejacks were playing in Las Vegas, but they soon began
to pine for their hometown and returned to Philly, where they began working for Cameo
Records, a label founded by Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe over a Christmas party in 1956.
Appell became a jack-of-all-trades at Cameo, doing background vocals, session work as a
guitarist, engineering and arranging. One of the first things he and his group did for
Cameo was backing John Zacherle on his Top 10 hit "Dinner With Drac". The
Applejacks also broke into the national charts under their own name, with the
instrumentals "Mexican Hat Rock" (# 16), a jumped-up version of the old
"Mexican Hat Dance", and "Rocka-Conga" (# 38), both in 1958. Appell
went on to become the leader of Cameo-Parkway's house band, backing such artists as Chubby
Checker, Bobby Rydell, the Dovells and Dee Dee Sharp, whose records he also arranged and
in many cases co-wrote, including "Let's Twist Again", "Bristol Stomp"
and "Mashed Potato Time". These were the years of the twist and other dance
crazes, in the launching of which Appell played a vitale role. Appell left Cameo in 1964.
In the seventies he had great success with his productions for Tony Orlando and Dawn,
including the # 1 hits "Knock Three Times" (1970) and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon
Round the Ole Oak Tree" (1973), on Bell Records. Appell's co-producer was Hank
Medress, who had been a founding member of the Tokens in 1956 and also sang in the
reformed Tokens of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" fame.
