Dr Victor Olaiya & his All-Stars
https://amf.didiermary.fr/victor-olaiya-all-stars/
Dr Victor Olaiya is considered the bridge between Ghanaian Highlife and what would become Afrobeat.
His musical style was influenced by James Brown, with horn parts harmonized in Brown’s style, as opposed to the mostly unison lines of Afrobeat. The music includes the swinging percussion of Tony Allen, but not the syncopated style that [...]

🇬🇧 Marianne Faithfull "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" – 1979
Few songs capture loneliness and quiet desperation quite like this. Originally recorded by Dr. Hook, Marianne Faithfull transformed it into something deeply personal on her 1979 album Broken English. Her weathered, vulnerable delivery gives the song an extraordinary sense of resignation...

Down To Earth
#jimmybuffett #downtoearth #70smusic #folkrock #gulfandwestern #music #musicsky #musiciansky #country #countryrock Jimmy's first album ... classic "Gulf and Western" ... is released on August 11, 1970. It's recorded in Nashville and is our intro to his acoustic folk, country rock and socially conscious storytelling. The album was a flop in terms of sales -- some say less than 500 copies got sold.

GERRY RAFFERTY
Baker Street
1978 France 7” singleA quick little spin during breakfast. 🥞
I found this at a thrift store late yesterday afternoon.
Picture sleeve is perfect, vinyl condition is perfect.Who doesn’t like a little “Baker Street”?
It’s just such a great tune.
One of the most instantly recognizable saxophone riffs maybe ever (courtesy of the great Raphael Ravenscroft), which is why I loathe and despise the Foo Fighters version, as the sax is replaced by an electric guitar.If I were being honest, I’d say I hate the Foo Fighters in general.
Anyway, an absolute masterpiece tune.
You know it’s part of the fabric of culture when The Simpsons uses it.
