A story of a man who lived the blues. Using this #HowlinWolf classic #TedTocksCovers tells a brief story of #HenryGray. This was a fun post to write, even though it only scratched the surface of a fascinating man who just loved to play his piano.

I Put a Spell on You
Originally posted on February 12, 2018
Back to the early days of #TedTocksCovers for this ominous song by #ScreaminJayHawkins, who was possibly the originator of the shock rock genre.
"I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I tell you, I ain't lying
I ain't lying"https://tedtockscovers.wordpress.com/2018/02/12/i-put-a-spell-on-you/

The Bowie Effect
Updated from January 15, 2021
It was on this day in 2016 that the death of #DavidBowie shocked the entertainment world. Here is a sample of several #TedTocksCovers that either feature David Bowie, a song he wrote or a song he covered. Enjoy!
"Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee" -

Needles and Pins

The first of three for today. Back to the early days of #TedTocksCovers with this hit that was co-written by #SonnyBono. Bono died on this day 25 years ago.
"I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I loved
And I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away"https://tedtockscovers.wordpress.com/2018/01/30/needles-and-pins/

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 5 - Day 138
Ordinary World
Closing out another year of #TedTocksCovers. Today's feature is another example of how the power of music guides us through the day.
"Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk -

I Believe in Father Christmas
#MerryChristmas from #TedTocksCovers
Enjoy this classic Christmas song from #GregLake.
"I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas you get you deserve"

You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch
#MerryChristmas from #TedTocksCovers! Hopefully this song and several fun covers adds to your holiday spirit.
"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!"
