Okay, not exactly cutting edge but i stumbled across a tune on the Jarvis Cocker curated "The Trip" album from these guys called "I Wonder if I'll Care as Much" and i have to say it's pretty amazing. I'd have normally passed little or no remarks on them after having been assaulted in the past by "Unchained Melody" and the other one that i can't think of but am pretty sure i probably know all the words to. So, anyone else have any musical surprises akin to this one? Stumnble across a lost tune from a group/artist you'd normally not give the time of day to?

i wouldnt call them lost artists, but i love that "love humps" tune from the black eyed peas, everything else ive heard is pretty brutal though. A lot of people write Tina Turner off too, but here early stuff with Ike is amazing, Nutbush City Limits, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, awesome!

Sappy folk rock dude creates amazing ground breaking proto-electro track that pre-dates both Giorgio Moroders Italdisco releases and Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk. You keep thinking, "nah, it's gotta be another Cat Stevens, some guy with the same name", but it's not, it really is the same guy that wrote "Father and Son". http://www.discogs.com/release/183548

I thought an eagle eyed Cluaser would have jumped on this already, but Unchained Melody is associated with the Righteous Brothers, not the Everly Brothers. That's probably why you were surprized to hear a "good" Righteous Brothers tune, it's not them, it's the Everlys. I've never heard any Everly Brothers albums, apart from the stuff you hear on the radio, can anyone recommend one? I know Paul Simon is a massive fan, in fact some early Simon and Garfunkel is a complete Everly Brothers rip off. As for lost musical surprizes, I'd never heard Victoria by the Kinks 'til a few months ago and I think it's great.

Well I shouldn't really admit to knowing this but I believe you're talking about the unavoidable "You've lost that loving feeling." I am sorry if it's now stuck in your head. But you did ask.........

Posted By bort on 19 Feb 2007 8:35 AM Well I shouldn't really admit to knowing this but I believe you're talking about the unavoidable "You've lost that loving feeling." That was the Righteous Brothers again. The Everly Bros are best known for 'Wake Up Little Susie' & 'Bye Bye Love'.

Oh, well then i guess that i've completely overlooked them. "Wake Up Little Susie" and "Bye Bye Love" are pretty good to as songs of that time go. I've been mixing my Righteouses up with my Everlys.

Good call. Tina has some set of pipes. I'm not ashamed to admit that River Deep Mountain High is in my all-time top 20. Its an awesome piece of work, its labelled as performed by "Ike & Tina", but he wasn't involved. Phil Spector was at the helm and the whole thing was recorded live in the studio.
