The songs by Kuzko and Lexsoul Dancemachine are brand new. In 1980 Donna Summer’s album The Wanderer peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Album Chart and sold around 600,000 copies nationwide. The title track, which is on this cloudcast, was quite successful and hit number 3 on the US singles chart. However, two follow-up singles ( Cold Love and Who Do You Think You're Foolin' ) barely reached the Top 40. The main reason for not selling large numbers was probably Donna’s change from disco to dance rock at the time. Critics loved it, but the public was not ready for it yet.  The track by John Carter is from the new compilation album Bubblerock Is Here To Stay Volume Two, The British Pop Explosion 1970-73 , which contains catchy, production based British pop songs from the early 1970s. Tracklist: Donna Summer – The W

Pixabay Connoisseurs agree that the ingredients for power pop are: a heavy beat, jangling guitars, harmony vocals and romantic lyrics. Its influences come from the 1960s, when bands such as The Kinks, The Beatles, The Searchers, The Hollies, The Who and later Badfinger used multiple elements. Todd Rundgren was the first one to talk about power pop, when he used the term on TV-program The Midnight Special in 1972. The genre was especially popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s, because it had similarities with then popular punk and new wave, such as the directness and the DIY attitude. In contrast to the aforementioned genres, power pop mainly consists of having fun in music, without any social context. According to music journalist Bob Stanley power pop sounded like “whatever the opposite of the Eagles was.” Singer Bernard William Jewry made some records in the early 1960s as Shane Fenton, but he was not very successful. The next decade things changed when he renamed himself Alvin S

Aránzazu “What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love No not just for some but for everyone” I tried to capture the sound of the hippie and Woodstock generation in the late 1960s, early 1970s. It started in San Francisco, where the peace and love movement gathered for the first summer of love in 1967. Later on it spread all over the country. Jackie DeShannon started as a teen pop star in the early 1960s, but being so did not make her happy. She once told in an interview that it was very hard to be a female singer-songwriter in the 1960s. You were either a singer or a songwriter, but you could not be both. Big stars had hits with her best songs and she herself recorded compositions from others. For instance, she made the Bacharach/David song What The World Needs Now Is Love popular in 1965 and on the other hand, she recorded her composition Break-A-Way first in 1963, but i

Laguna Beach Enjoy the rhythm of southern California on Mellow Mellow FM ! Let It Happen is a tribute to Greek synthesizer wizard and film score composer Vangelis ( Blade Runner ) who died last week. In the 1960s he was a member of prog rock band Aphrodite’s Child. Former singer of that band, Demis Roussos, recorded Let It Happen as well. He did it with more self-confidence and power, which gave the song a totally different context. The original, vulnerable version by Vangelis was sung by F.R. David, known for his hit Words. In the 1970s Vangelis was still searching for a style of his own. In 1981 he found his own trademark when he composed the soundtrack to the movie Chariots Of Fire . He was rewarded with an Oscar a year later. When You Smile by State Cows is from their new album High And Dry. Zachary Crawford's track is brand new too.
