Tyler Vincent: Compiled the list.
This week's passings was Johnny Nash. A former teen idol that recorded a bunch of Don Costa arranged pop songs of the 50s and 60s, then discovered Bob Marley and The Wailers and used them for his landmark Hold Me Tight LP for JAD in 1968. The album was one of the early Reggae albums and paved the way for The Wailers to become better known later on died Tuesday. He was 80. Bob Marley and company would return to help Johnny land the number 1 song I Can See Clearly Now in 1973. Peter Tosh helped Johnny on the Hold Me Tight but it was Marley that supplied the songs on ICSCN.
Perhaps the major blow, was Eddie Van Halen, finally losing his battle with cancer aged 65. In 1978, Van Halen dropped their first album, a record that echoed the sounds of the First Montrose album, but Eddie's guitar wizardry made VH one of the all time best debuts, beginning with the minor hit Running With The Devil and You Really Got Me. What made the Van Halen albums so great was that they ran a half hour full of music. 1984, showed Eddie could play keyboards as with the number 1 hit Jump. David Lee Roth left and Sammy Hagar, who sang on the first two Montrose albums took over on 5150. The Van Hagar years suffered from too much filler and a nod to ballads, and the wheels fell off on Balance. Gary Cherone came on board for the lackluster Van Halen 3. David Lee Roth would return later and VH made A Different Type Of Truth in 2012, the last VH album, which echoed the glory years, Micheal Anthony was replaced by Eddie's son Wolfgang. While the reviews were so so, I actually enjoyed that album, tho John Shanks is no Ted Templeman and the recording was subpar.
Nevertheless, Eddie Van Halen reinvented the lead guitar with his amazing finger runs on the fretboard. Templeman writes and say that Eruption, done as a exercise was not slated for the album and Eddie always thought that album version could have been better, this guitar piece had every guitar player trying to figure out how to play it. If you had the 8 track version, Eruption would lead into Feel Your Love Tonight, whereas it led into You Really Got Me. That 1.58 would be the beginning of heavy metal guitar. Eddie would help Michael Jackson on Beat It and Thomas Dolby on another song. Eddie is one of the best. He passed on Tuesday.
Five Star Mud Games: 1967 Pro Bowl in LA 1/22/67
East 20 West 10
It never rains in southern California but Girl let me warn ya, when it pours, man it pours..Albert Hammond
Usually football games you think of is played in nice sunny weather after the super bowl. Ah, the days when they played in Honolulu. And sometimes Los Angeles, but on that rainy afternoon, only 15 thousand showed up to see the late great Gale Sayers run all over the east defense but the West turned the ball over six times, the East picked off Johnny Unitas three times. and Bart Starr once. Floyd Peters being named best defense player. While it rained all night and most of the game, the Coliseum held up fairly despite the elements.
