Top singles from the past

9 August 2024

30 years ago, on 8 August 1994, Manchester legends
OASIS released their supernova classic LIVE FOREVER.

A 24 karat gold anthem written, of course, by Noel Gallagher,
inspired by Shine A Light, a 1972 song by The Stones.

Live Forever was the third single from their supreme debut album 
Definitely Maybe and their first one that entered the Top-10 of
the UK Singles Chart.

Noel today, about the joyful anthem.

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don’t wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don’t believe
Maybe you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

THE STONES Scored Their First No. 1 In The UK With ‘IT’S ALL OVER NOW’ 60 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

14 July 2024

Today 60 years ago, on 14 July 1964, rock giants THE ROLLING STONES
scored their very first number 1 single in the UK with IT’S ALL OVER NOW.

An enormous earworm written by Bobby Womack and his sister-in-law
Shirley Womack. American band The Valentinos featuring Bobby and Cecil
Womack recorded/released the song but without success.

When a DJ played that version to the Stones they were really excited
to do a rendition of their own, turning it into a jingle jangle cracker with
a victorious outcome. Here we go, back in time.

“Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that’s no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry

Because I used to love her
But it’s all over now
Because I used to love her
But it’s all over now”

On 5 July 1969, 55 years ago today, THE ROLLING STONES organized a free outdoor festival in Hyde Park, London to introduce new guitarist Mick Taylor. But as co-founder and highly influential ex-member Brian Jones died two days before, the show became a tribute for him. From that historical event, attended by about 300.000 people, here’s
one of the filthiest and hottest firecrackers the band ever wrote HONKY TONK WOMAN.

9 June 1978 – THE ROLLING STONES Released ‘SOME GIRLS’ 46 Years Ago Today

Back in time

9 June 2024

THE ROLLING STONES released their 14th LP SOME GIRLS 46 years ago today,
on 9 June 1978. It went to #1 in the US and Canada, and #2 in the UK.

The Village Voice (American magazine) wrote at the time: “The Stones’ best album
since Exile on Main St. is also their easiest since Let It Bleed or before. They haven’t gone
for a knockdown uptempo classic, a ‘Brown Sugar’ or ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’—just straight
rock and roll unencumbered by horn sections or Billy Preston.”

Stream Documentary ‘CATCHING FIRE: THE STORY OF ANITA PALLENBERG’ At Home

Posted on by JL

8 May 2024

CATCHING FIRE: The Story Of Anita Pallenberg (1942 – 2017) is a new documentary about German actress, model, and muse/wife of Keith Richards.

She entered The Rolling Stones world when they played Munich in 1965. Brian Jones,
who spoke German, connected with her and they started a tumultuous 2-year relationship. In the end Jones got paranoid following too many drugs and started beating Pallenberg.

Keef Richards kind of saved her from the violent Jones and they became a couple
for 14 years. They had 3 children together: son Marlon, daughter Dandelion and
son Tara Jo Jo who died after two weeks.

The docu doesn’t focus on Pallenberg‘s life with The Rolling Stones,
but on her own private, artistic and turbulent life. She passed away
in 2017, at the age of 75, due to complications from hepatitis C.

You can watch Catching Fire: The Story Of Anita Pallenberg
