Chaka dot Kahn

 

So there I was, cutting across Broadway in mid-town Manhattan last week when I come face à face with a camera man and two of NYC’s finest. I turn around and there is a small crowd of kids being hustled up to my side for a photo op.

Next thing I know I am being eased aside and I am standing next to Chaka Khan. She was promoting her foundation charitable organization.

Here she is with The Funk Brothers, the heart and soul of Motown Records.

Here come the 80’s

I never really got into this guys stuff but thanks to sites like You Tube we can now. Klaus Nomi was kinda like an 80s version of Tiny Tim. Really off the wall with a terrific vocal range. On this clip he is covering Lou Christie’s classic.

Heads I Win, Tails You Win

I dunno, it’s a tossup between Can’t seem to make you mine by The Seeds and this as my favourite garage type single from the 60z
