Fleetwood Mac
The pride of Cortland, New York, about 30 minutes south of where I live!
What pipes. I’m not a metalhead, but Dio was a vocal god.
My cousin loved his stuff. If you were anywhere NEAR his place, Ronnie James Dio is what you heard!
Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention at the Whisky-A-Go-Go on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood in 1966
Beautiful woman, great, sultry voice.
As an aside, isn’t it refreshing to see a photo of a female lead singer of an alt-rock band who isn’t covered in tats or piercings? Those days sadly are over, I fear …
Rowan Atkinson vibes!
Quincy Jones: “Vegas in ‘64 was so racist, Belafonte was working in the big room for $17,000 a week, they were not allowed in the casino. They had to eat in the kitchen, sing, and go to a black hotel across town. So Frank said ‘we’re not gonna have more of that.’ So, we came in, we had 18 goombahs put with each one of us. And he stopped the racism in one year, for Basie, Sammy, myself and Basie’s band. He stopped it, man. Cold!”
