b. 11 May 1939 in Toronto / d. 7 Jan 2022 (82)
After trying to start a career here in Toronto, Taylor moved
to Detroit in the mid-1960s and was signed as a songwriter and recording
artist for Motown subsidiary V.I.P. label. His songs were eventually covered
by everyone from Marvyn Gaye to the Supremes, Four Tops, Neil Young and the
Mynabirds, Bloodstone, Rick Danko, The Fall, Jackie DeShannon, Golden Earring
and Gladys Knight. His most successful single was the melodramatic Indiana
Wants Me, which was spiced with various effects and climbed to No. 5 in the
US.

He began his career in 1961, as a pianist and singer with several country
music bands in Toronto. Taylor also made his first recordings in 1961, for
the Audiomaster record label. The next year, Taylor's "At The High School
Dance", a single for Amy-Mala Records, was a minor success. His next single,
"I'll Remember", on the Barry label, was a No. 23 success for Toronto rock
and roll radio station CHUM, and the singer decided to relocate to Detroit,
Michigan, to further his career.

Indiana Wants Me became Taylor's only hit as a performer in the
US, where it rose to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was released on the
Rare Earth label, formed by Motown in an attempt to establish itself in the
rock music market. Interestingly, the police siren sounds at the start of
the record were removed from some copies supplied to radio stations after
complaints that drivers hearing the song on the radio had mistakenly pulled
over, thinking that the sounds were real. The Detroit Sound is stamped deeply
within the song being produced by at Motown.

Robert Leroy Johnson (b. May 8, 1911 Hazelhurst MS / d. Aug 16, 1938 Greenwood MS (27)
Johnson was brought to Dallas to record in The Vitagraph Building.
He reportedly recorded facing the wall, which has been cited as evidence
that he was a shy man, but there is another theory that Johnson found that
his guitar sounded better facing that wall. The conclusion that he was shy
was played up in the inaccurate liner notes of the 1961 release of King of
the Delta Blues Singers. Ry Cooder speculates that Johnson played facing
a corner to enhance the sound of the guitar, a technique he calls "corner
loading".

Richard Alfred Newell (b. March 9, 1944 Hamilton, ON – d. Hamilton January 5, 2003)
He was given the name by Ronnie Hawkins while Newell was part of his back-up band.
Newell played with the Barons (later renamed Son Richard and the Chessmen)
from 1961 to 1965 and then with the Midnights. In the summer of 1969 helped
form “And Many Others”, which was Ronnie Hawkins's backing band at that time.
After one LP and several U.S. appearances, Hawkins fired the entire band
in early 1970, upon which the members, including Newell, formed their own
band, which they named Crowbar after Hawkins claimed that ‘them boys got
the intelligence of a sack full of crowbars”. Newell recorded an album with
Crowbar, then embarked on a solo career, but he played with Crowbar off and
on for the rest of his career.

Townsend was one of the only artists known to have recorded in
nine consecutive decades. He first recorded in 1929, and remained active
up to 2006. By the mid 1990s, Townsend and his one-time collaborator Yank
Rachell were the only active blues artists whose careers had started in the
1920s. Yank bought his first mandolin at age 8, in a trade for a pig his
family had given him to raise. Both made their recording debuts in 1929,
Townsend solo and Rachel as a member of the Three J’s Jugband. On February
10, 2008, Townsend was posthumously awarded a Grammy, his first, at the 50th

This was the first recording made by The Who. After their 1962 beginning

changed their name to The High Numbers. I don’t know where they got this
song and the A Side, I’m The Face but Meaden claimed that he wrote both.
It was originally released on the Fontana label in November, 1964. Shortly
after its release, the band chucked Meaden out, replacing him with Chris
Stamp and Kit Lambert and changing the name of the band, again, to The Who.

Flatt & Scruggs first met in 1945 when Scruggs joined Bill
Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys, and both became part of what proved to be Monroe’s
most influential lineup. They formed their own band The Foggy Mountain Boys
in 1948. Within a year they were recording for Mercury Records, their first
release being The Foggy Mountain Breakdown, recorded December 11, 1949.
It changed the way five string banjo was used in bluegrass music forever.
Were among the best bluegrass bands and were asked to record “The Ballad
of Jed Clampett”, the theme song for the Beverly Hillbilllies TV Show in
1962. Because of this they got to appear on several episodes of the program.
Not until the 1972 release of the movie “Deliverance” would bluegrass music
be in vogue again.

After the music of A Hard Day’s Night, the Beatles began working on
the songs for Beatles ’65. From She Loves You to I Should Have Known Better
in their second year, their went way beyond the boyish hype with this album.
It begins with No Reply and features I’m A Loser, Honey Don’t, She’s A Woman
and I Feel Fine, way beyond the way we digested music. It brought us all
into another universe that was defined by The Beatles.
