American woman gonna mess your mind, who say that? Guess Who? Yes...The Guess Who. This Canadian guys from Winnipeg, Manitoba, became the first Canadian rock group to have a No.1 hit in the United States in 1970, on the other hand it seemed that they give up facing up the american women that made them had headache.
American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
James Joseph Croce (10 January 1943 – 20 September 1973), Not much information that I got from this sentimental and melodious guy, only one song that I always turn and return many times, Time in a Bottle. What make him so interesting is his beautiful voice and his strugle in facing this tough life. Only mature could make this kind of lyrics. Jim Croce.
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
Starting from the group named "Tom and Jerry" in 1957 in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, and I don't care which Tom and Jerry they meant, but they grow together like the famous cartoon film that I like. The Sounds of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", "Bridge over Troubled Water", "The Boxer", "Cecilia", and "Scarborough Fair" etc. made Simon and Garfunkel become one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time List. Breakup and reunion never make them separate because of their friendship as what they say in The Only Living Boy in New York.
Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in new york,
The only living boy in new york.
Shulman brothers - Phil (born 1937), Derek (born 1947) and Ray (born 1949), they're the founding father of Gentle Giant. Pop music were not made them satisfy. Complexity and sophistication was their choiced regarding to their musical skill and more complex due to progressive rock standards. Consequently they became multi-instrumentalists. Brotherhood but also friendship in Three Friends.
Once three friends
Sweet in sadness
Now part of their past.
In the end
Full of gladness
Went from class to class.
As a progressive rock band that was born in London 1968, Yes makes symphonic and classical as their musical style. Despite a lot of many lineup changes, this group still stand for more over than forty years. With their specific music color on vocal and uncommon melody they can reach very long distance in this music world. Yes.....they have a very Long Distance, colaborate with an English brilliant artist who always work together for cover or even on the stage, Roger Dean, which make this group unique and easy to recognize.
Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred
What makes these guys so interesting ? My answer is because they're wild, on the stage even real life, as wild as Wild Horses.
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I dont have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Lets do some living after we die
Wild horses couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day
Robert Allen Zimmerman born 24th May 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota. By using guitar and harmonica he shattered improper things, from political, civil rights until social life in United States. Everybody Must Get Stoned is his dream about freedom.
They'll stone you when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're trying to go home
They'll stone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
There's a place in Flint, Michigan USA called Grand Trunk Railroad. This inspired them and they called themselves Grand Funk Railroad who became famous to all over the world, and the beautiful thing from this American Rock Group's their dominant and uncommon bass instrument they play, on the other hand they said that they did not had to do like any other groups that they have to sing blues music. But someone said that, together we stand divided we fall and it happened to them. Someone still need someone.
Why, oh why, oh why should I care for someone,
Who doesn't care for me?
I played the game I was subject of, it was all in vain 'cause I fell in love with someone,
Who doesn't care for me, for me.
I hate the game and what it costs, to feel the pain for the love I lost to someone,
Who doesn't care for me.
