This pre-recorded performance of ‘Cherish’ by Kool and the Gang was shown during Live Aid (13 July 1985).
Vocalist James “J.T.” Warren Taylor sparkles in more ways than one.
Worth looking out for the unintentionally hilarious trumpeter in glorious pink jump suit, about 2 mins in – a blockage in the tubes ends in a fabulous bum note.

Good afternoon everyone,
So far I have not posted anything on this thread, not least because I don’t really like its title (sorry Lindsay!). I have visited The Grand Canyon and it is “awesome” - most other things aren’t!
Ted Gioia does a blog every couple of days called “The Honest Broker” and earlier this week, he recommended a Polish artist called Hania Rani. The YouTube clip is called “Hania Rani – Live from Studio S2” and here is the link
Perhaps not “awesome”, but definitely very, very good!
I hope that you like it.
Best wishes,
Brian D.

Todd deserves more exposure on here. Great singing and a screaming Fender Mustang.

MC2,
Thanks for the Gong clip. Brilliant stuff! It reminds us of how much we enjoyed, valued and still value bands and others who were pushing at the limits of music, art and acceptibility. Of course, we also had to put up with freakishness masquerading as talent, but that’s art!
Anyway, it wouldn’t be allowed today (IWBAT), neither by record companies, or the Daily Mail! Also in the IWBAT category be Phantasmagoria, by Curver Air, The Man in the Bowler Hat, by Stackridge and most stuff by Can, Alex Harvey, Iggy and many, many others. Instead, we now get Rap (I note that the word “music” is, correctly, no longer appended to the title).
A former colleague of mine used the track Shamal by Gong as a inspiration piece for creative writing in an “O” Level English class. It was fine at the time, but might now be considered too “druggy” by those crucial arbiters of educational merit - the parents! This was at about the same time that some local councillors in Ballymena, Country Antrim, banned an ELO concert on the grounds that there was too much of the four "D"s - drink,drugs, devil-worship and debauchery.
Ah, the good old days!
Best wishes,
Brian D.
