Her name is An Le.

Some here make reconize this song though Dylan, though she performing another version of it by Adele, who I don't know much about though I'm familiar with only one of her songs.

Check out some of her other stuff, she sings well.

A group out of Houston TX. and apparently their only top 40 success.

However they recorded other songs, including one called "Superman", which "REM" had a hit with in the 80's.

thanks for the links, all...enjoying many of the videos (most i hadn't seen)


the Superman song reference had me reflecting on another composition that was always an old fave (lovely piano key) by some canuck dummies:


...chinese kindergartens sure could use a safekeeping superhero about now...horrific

Someone told me years ago this song was about the lead singer's troubled relationship with his Dad and they never really patched things up.

Hey Affair, I hadn't seen this video, but I love this song. I tear up whenever I hear it on the radio. It's the finality of it all...so sad.

very nice production but was never much on the choral type backup singing

just a minor note (i'm a big old, old Genesis fan and like some of their solo ventures): the lead singer is Paul Carrack not Mike Rutherford - Mike co-wrote the tune with another writer who had also lost his dad recently....Mike plays bass

btw, Carrack also did some solid live vocals on Hey You (the David Gilmour part) for The Wall- live in Berlin, Roger Waters production...a quality video

...i believe Mike and the Mechanics first release was Silent Running...Rutherford used Carrack on vocals for that one also

Affair, thought you might dig this eastern and cheerful gal:


she has her moment and nice tone along with solid phrasing

your old friend (who looks like the Hi School Musical latino) also tried this pop tune and does ok but needs a guitar tuner for starters...but she sings the tune better than the original artist also...most do

speaking of Swift, it seems obvious that her dueling girlfriend tune and especially video was ripped from Avril's earlier effort...that Avril sure is spunky, punky and sassy...i've never seen her videos til just browsing earlier


she pays the dual girlfriend roles (same concept Swift's people went with...i guess that was the video that got the disturbed Kanye guy all in a huff...maybe he had a point, lol)

GL was right though, Levine has some good little tunes...too bad she and her Evan guitar guy split (no, i don't mean the old sum41 hubby guy)...young talented duo

Is this stupid or what?

The song's nice though.

Of course I still don't quite get the song.

I know they're saying gold's not everything but where does Califonria come in on this?

I know they're saying gold's not everything but where does Califonria come in on this?

In 1849, Gold was discovered in California and people rushed there with dreams of making a fortune, but more often than not, these aspirations didn't pan out for many people and they wound up dejected and poorer than when they'd came

In the last century, California has become the entertainment capital and people flock there with dreams of becoming rich and famous in show business, but just like in the gold rush days, many if not most of the young dreamers find out that its not that easy.

So the gold represents the hopes of those who come to California seeking their fortune, and the phrase, "All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills in somebody else's name," is a caveat to all the hopefuls out there,warning them while there is fortune in California, its controlled by someone else and it will not come easy, and odds are not at all, and you might just wind up with dashed hopes and broken dreams like the Gold miners of 1849.

This was a Detroit group in which a couple of the members would later go on to form The Grand Funk Railroad.

Graham Nash didn't sing lead all that much with The Hollies but here's a rare one with him on lead.

Interesting observation Touhy. we are now in the habit on a car journey of listening to the folk music on "The Village" channel on Sirius-XM satellite radio
I was very struck the other day to hear Teach Your Children sung as a solo for a change by Graham Nash. It was superb
I have no idea what album (if any) it was from and the nearest to a GN solo version that I could find on Youtube other than sundry covers is this short and sweet "lesson"

An early Carole King hit and a rather not so happy song about Summer.




Too bad she couldn't of at least tried to enjoy the summertime.

Not much of a video with pictures of Golsboro moving around.


Anyway here's 2 good ones by him that most likely missed the top 40.

Here's another Goldsboro vid.



Somebody suggested this was filmed at Diseneyland.

Anyone know?

it's great to hear Page's distinct, well-toned voice on his own...

i'm not sure if he or Seth Rogan has trimmed down more...



fun video but live on QTV is a "real"ly terrific feature

i wonder who will be Strombo's "Holiday" (can I still say that?) show guests...

A campfire type tune

He and the young lead gal were nominated for acting awards this year for Winters Bone which I enjoyed as much as Melissa Leo in last years Frozen River indy film

I saw end of Oscars only and enjoyed the montage that played during Kings Speach audio byte

Were there live musical performances?

Anyhow that John Hawkes guy was less scary than most of the women in that film...then again, the lead character was a beautiful heroine

This might have been the first time a group of Pro Football players formed a singing group.



Besides "Dr. Brackett" on "Emergency," he was well know as starring on various westens, including "Wagon Train."

But didn't know till recently he did some singing as well.

Here's another Holles promo vid.



There's another 1 of these for the same song but the sound quality of this one is better.

Sung mostly by Allen Clark, but the beginning and end of course sung by Graham.

I should also note that Jenifer Eccles was also the name of another song which was one of the last songs recorded by the group before Graham left.
