As we celebrate the late Bob Marley’s birthday, here’s a sweet video of The Wailers “Jamming.”

Happy birthday Dave Davies!

Dave and his brother Ray were the core of the Kinks, one of the most significant bands of the British Invasion.

The Kinks were a truly fabulous group, one of the greatest in the history of rock & roll. I remember the first time I saw them in concert at the old Milwaukee Auditorium…I left the show thinking the Kinks are what rock & roll is all about. Turns out I was right.

I just wish the brothers Davies would get their shit together, kiss and make up, and do a Kinks tour before it’s too late.

In honor of  Dave’s birthday, let’s take a trip back in time to watch the Kinks doing “You Really Got Me.”

Gotta share another video to celebrate Graham Nash’s birthday. Here he is, joined by his partner in crime, David Crosby, singing the beautiful “Simple Man.”

As we celebrate his birthday, here’s Graham Nash way back when with The Hollies singing “On a Carousel.” I think you’ll agree their harmonies still sound  amazing!

The Beatles hit number one with “I Want to Hold Your Hand” 48 years ago today. Thus began the British Invasion.

Ironically, it was the same day Bob Dylan’s Desert Island Disc “The Times They Are A-Changin’” was released.

Here’s the Fab Four playing it.

In honor of Johnny Rotten’s birthday, here’s the punk rockin’ Sex Pistols with an absolutely scorching version of “Anarchy in the UK.”

On this date in 1964 the Fab Four recorded 4 takes of “Can’t Buy Me Love” & 11 takes of “Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand.”

Here they are rockin’ the former on the show ‘Ready Steady Go!’

The Eagles’ Desert Island Disc, “Hotel California,” hit #1 on the charts 35 years ago today.

Here they are playing the title track in 1998 at their induction into the Rock Hall.

Buffalo Springfield released their anthem, “For What It’s Worth,” forty-five years ago today.

Love this video of them playing it on the Smothers Brothers.

Nice hat, Stephen

George Harrison’s lovely song, “My Sweet Lord,” from the Desert Island Disc All Things Must Pass, was released in the UK 40 years ago today.

Synchronistically, that was the same day John Lennon wrote and recorded “Instant Karma.”

Enjoy the video and have fun!
