Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

I happed to catch this on MTV when they still played music. I don't know if it's the beauty of these women or Music they seem to melt together...I know nothing of them beyond this video Surly there are no great voices here, But the message seems to go on forever. And I don't mind looking at the messenger


Talk about formulaic. Shouldn't point the finger at this group I suppose, thousands of artists and artiste manques are guilty of the same thing.
 
I don't know how well known Marc is, but has long been a favorite of mine.


Yet..."When that foghorn whistle blows" is perhaps not the most literate verse as horns do not a whistle make.":O}


Sure, it's OK. But the original is the one that comes to mind.
 
I'd like to avoid criticizing the music others post, it leads nowhere and injures feelings, worse,it makes folks reluctant to offer their music to us.

I think we are doing great, just don't want to see this go off the rails.
Thank you...
 
Such a happy ditty. I admit that this guy is new to me. Leave it at that.
New to me as well, but I thought him a worth the listen. I've never ask my musicians to be GREAT.
I only ask that they bring a decent amount of sensibility and sensitivity.
any of us can name a dozen favorites that can't sing for shit. But they bring it with them when they come.

I feel he brought it with him when he came. Let's not let the Old become the only measure of the New.
 
Transistor radios were new and I had one! I was walking home from nowhere and listening to othe songs float by. Then Wednesday morning 3am got a whole album play.

I missed some of it, but this remains the song that shut me down for a week.

 
an SNL delight. I love watching Chevy Steal poor Paul's song. Please pay attention to these lyrics, I find them astonishing!

But what about going Amercian?



I've been told that this song was in response to the plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richy Valence and left Rock and roll weeping.

Who remembers the Big Bopper? He was a Disk jockey who wanted to get in on the new Rock and roll music

Huge hit in it's day.

 
The two sweetest voices of my youth. Let the video play and enter the heart of the late 50's
