CHIC was at Womadelaide 2012...night gig...massive Dance Party in the Botanic Gardens.

Enjoying the Ds...what will I lay down?
Reply to this D...is for DAVIS...SPENCER DAVIS GROUP
The sensational..."I'M A MAN"
Reply to this DD...is for DOUBLE DOSE...the Reggae Master
DESMOND DEKKER
"ISRAELITES"
Reply to this Dave, I adore the Spencer Davis Group, but my all time favourite has to be Gimme Some Lurvin....
Anyway, I recall posting this track on another board, but it is so sublimely chilled out that I am going to put it here too......

Reply to this Don Ellis is one of my favourite composers, who among other things, wrote the great if somewhat quirky soundtrack to one of the best movies of all time 'The French Connection'. This track evokes memories of an era now sadly, long gone.........
Reply to this And from the chilled out to some classic rock. Def Leppard, seemed to just appear out of nowhere and then just as quickly disappeared after releasing their Pyromania and hugely successful Hysteria albums. The death of lead guitarist Steve Clark no doubt had something to do with this. Every track on this album is superb and I'd like to list them all, but in the spirit of board etiquette, I will restrict myself to two.....

Reply to this Eagle Rock was my favourite song for about 3 years at one stage :-)
Reply to this How could I have forgotten Daddy Cool and The Doors - great choices Dave!
Reply to this I can only assume it was an oversight on Nick's part to leave this one out of the
Dire Straits post...... :-)
Reply to this Jo, I'd loved to have put more of my Dire Straits favourites up, however, I have to draw the line somewhere 😉
Another classic from the 80s by Don Henley. This is a cover version as there doesn't seem to be an original on YouTube, but it is almost as good 😊
Reply to this Of course we all love the crooners....So, here is my favourite crooner of all time.....
