Credence is one of my most favored bands. I also very much like the work that John Fogerty put out after Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

Obviously a mature talent refined in her approach and delivery. We she and I, don't have quite the same taste in music, but I'd probably never get up to turn her off.":O}

Quite an "adult" song, as in it sure ain't teenagers in this tune. Here's another "adult" song, Miss Norah Jones:
Joan is really in her own class. I like the inventiveness in the second video you posted here. She can be pure soulfulness too.
Shadows And Light
by Joni Mitchell
Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness blindness and sight
Threatened by all things
Devil of cruelty
Drawn to all things
Devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness blindness and sight
Suntans in reservation dining rooms
Pale miners in their lantern rays
Night night and day
Hostage smile on presidents
Freedom scribbled in the subway
It's like night night and day
Threatened by all things
God of cruelty
Drawn to all things
God of delight
Mythical god of the everlasting laws
Governing day day and night
Critics of all expression
Judges in black and white
Saying it's wrong saying it's right
Compelled by prescribed standards
Or some ideals we fight
For wrong wrong and right
Threatened by all things
Man of cruelty-mark of Cain
Drawn to all things
Man of delight-born again born again
Man of the laws the ever-broken laws
Governing wrong wrong and right
Governing wrong wrong and right
Wrong and right
Wowsa, this is an amazing song. It's heavy and a bit light. Well done, great choice!
"But the good, the good they die young"
Thank you for posting this, ThunderRd. I was woefully unaware of Graham Parker. Shame on me!
Thank you I watched.
From the Spoonriver anthology by Edgar Lee Masters
Inscribed upon a child's gave stone.
"Taken from the evil to come."
If we're in a quotation mood I like this one that comes right before the preface of John LeCarre's "The Honorable Schoolboy:"
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return
-W.H. Auden
But does this excuse the most evil ones that hold the whip over our heads?
Holy crap, this guy is something else!
Well done, a-sneakin' into NYC nightclubs as a teenager!
Thank you very much for adding this to my catalog of artists! I gotta tell ya, Mink Deville plays some serious Latin
musica, it's the real deal.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us, you still Da Man Thunder!
Yeah, but fortunately they weren't this dramatic and loud. Slums of Capitol Hill, Seattle.
Not one of my favorite groups, but in this version the cat does really sing.
A former musical partner in crime's, JK! mom drove a taxi in Seattle for many years. She gave Joan Jett and a friend of hers a ride to a laundromat. The women said they loved the time alone and out of the spotlight. My pal asked his mother "did you get an autograph?"
"No" she answered, "I didn't want to intrude on their down time."
My pal was PO'd, he was a big fan of Joan.

Some of his earlier material left something to be desired, imho. What am I daring to say here? As if anything I ever did in music was ever in the same universe as Mr Kottke's? The shame, tsk tsk.
I was stranded once but fortunately or not didn't have a car to fix with no moolah to my name.
It is a good song. But I so wish she hadn't patented the bald woman look. Sigh. Yes, so I'm prejudiced, I like hair on women.
