In 1973 Jeff Wayne produced and played keyboards on David Essex's album Rock On. David Essex - Rock On http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgcYfKw0_TI The title track was a major hit single in North America and the UK. Five years later Jeff Wayne and David Essex would collaborate again, this time on Jeff Wayne's Prog Rock adaptation of H.G. Well's War of the Worlds.  Jeff's War of the Worlds featured David Essex at the Artillery Man along with many of the session musicians and backup singers who appeared on the Rock On album along with some star turns by Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues and Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy and narration by Richard Burton. Phil Lynott played two roles, Parson Nathaniel and the also the did the war cries of martians which can be heard predominantly on the track Dead London http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkUguBIcCVw. Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds included the single Forever Autumn sung by Justin Hayward; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO9Qx7Kp_I8. The opening track, Eve of the War was also successful when an excerpt was released as a single and a Disco remix 12 inch was issued for play in clubs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfoGEMWvz9s. This is a short film Columbia records put out to promote the double album; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RbJiTIT2mc |

Kudos to One Louder for posting Sticky Fingers, the one album that was passed around in more classrooms by more students than any other album in history, lol! Now for someting special. As a black kid growing up in Virginia, I spent quite a lot of time involved with my Southern Baptist church just a few blocks up the street from my house. Gospel music was as much a part of my education as math or history. Sometimes, without warning, an old spritual tune will fill my mind and I'm taken back to my childhood days spent in the first row at my local church. And that's what happened to me the first time I heard this song from Peter Frampton. To many, this is just another 70's tune. But to me there's more than a little spritual magic going on. What Peter has here is a song that crosses over into the religious, at least to my ears. There are many lines in this song hinting at a higher power and I don't think that's an exaggeration. For those reasons alone my relationship to this song may be different from yours. In any case I hope everyone enjoys this youtube clip. While I try to avoid lyric videos I choose this clip because of the audio quality and the album cover pic. And as always, turn up the volume!

Peter Frampton - "I'm In You" - 1977: http://youtu.be/EH0dq02TOPQ I'm going off topic here, but I just have to say this. I'm just watching a docuentary about 17th century Sweden, and I was surprised to notice that the 1970s hair-do, that Peter has in that picture, looks eerily like the something, that noble men in the 17th century would have!  |

You can say that again! Even as I was posting this I couldn't help noticing that Peter has that hair and face that seem to belong to an earlier era. And his expression, or maybe just his eyes, he seems to know something that he's keeping to himself. |
