David Grey is a rather underrated singer from the UK. One his most well known songs is 'Babylon', but this is my favourite....a very touching and beautifully written song...

Dancing D! I was going to say that the wonderful Binkley duo are too busy swilling some of the best amber nectar on the planet, but it seems that I stand corrected (I hope you detect the pangs of jealousy in my post) :P

Anyway, no more D artist to recommend.....bring on E :D

According to this link, this is The Eagles singing Boys of Summer - with Don Henley actually singing (so it does exist somewhere on the web!).


Since this really isn't an Eagles song, here is another one - Peaceful Easy Feeling

Electric Light Orchestra performing Livin Thing. I always thought they sounded best with a string section. I remember hearing in the very early 80s that Paul McCartney commented if the Beatles had remained together they were most probably have followed a similar sound to ELO. This is an interesting article I just discovered about this topic - ELO: The band the Beatles could have been.


Here is Mr Blue Sky, a tune termed as the best song that Paul McCartney never wrote.

Eric Gadd, is one of the few great soul singers to come out of Sweden. He seems to have vanished off of the face of the Earth, but there are still plenty of his songs available on YouTube.....

Ahh...you beat me to it Dave! The Eurythmics.....wonderful stuff 😊

Here we have a group who started off well and then sadly took a nosedive. However, their early stuff is still great.....
