Bet if you didn't read it here, you would never have picked this as the Bee Gees, taken from their first album (imaginatively titled "Bee Gees 1st") it is so far removed from all of their other material especially with the Gregorian chant & mellotron at the start.

Most of my music tastes run along gospel and Christian contemporary lines, but I won't take you there.......... too often !!

Here is the intro (my favourite part!) to my all time favourite music DVD. If you have never seen the whole DVD, do yourself a favour !!!!!

Sensational !!

Put up a few of your favourite gospel tracks Amers, I'd be more than keen to listen. I'm a big fan of the old school gospel music, especially the stuff that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Even went to an all-black gospel church when I visited the U.S. some years back, one of the highlights of my life !!

Here's a gospel track for you, the fabulous Dixie Hummingbirds from their "Diamond Jubilation : 75th Anniversary" album, it's got a cajun/zydeco tweak to it as well. If this doesn't make you feel uplifted then I don't know what will. :-)

I love my music Sheik, I'm just very aware that my tastes are not main stream !!

I don't know a lot of black gospel, but I like it, I reckon I've seen the Dixie Hummingbirds on a movie or 2 !! I know more about the gospel Quartets.

Here is 1 of my favourite songs, Daddy sang bass, written by Carl Perkins and sung here by Johnny Cash.

I have been heavily influenced by Johnny Cash, I read his biography as a kid and while I'm not a great country fan, I like Cash's music.

I also love a good bass voice !! Here is 1 of the best, J.D. Sumner singing 'Why me Lord' with Elvis, a song written by Kris Kristofferson.

I'd never heard a lot of Elvis until recently when I started listening to some of his gospel stuff. Man he had a good voice !!

This last 1 makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, tell me what you reckon?
It's a Bill Gaither song sung by Bill Gaither and friends called 'Because He lives'.

Cash & Elvis are old faves.

Not too sure about that gospel track, I prefer the old black groups, they seem to sing with more passion & conviction for me.

It's an average clip, but it's a great song from a classic album that just oozes cool and influence.

If only some of our younger folks understood the impact this dude had on music, including his influence on some of the big names in music. RIP JJ... you are a music giant.

Funny how songs trigger memories. Whenever I hear 'After Midnight' I'm right there as a junior sailor heading out of Sydney heads for Asia (2SM was piped throughout the ship).

Seeing as we're going down memory lane, I bought my first cassette player in Papua New Guinea in 1972 and one of the few decent cassettes I could buy was Chain's "Towards the Blues".

While I was out scrambling up and down the highlands, one of my comrades, who had been 'casevacced' with a 'sore ankle', was lazing in the Lae barracks and playing 'Black and Blue' over and over until he wore out my cassette.  Every time I hear 'Black and Blue' I think about humping a 25 set radio through the New Guinea highlands  :)

DJC... Black & Blue is one of my all time faves. Matt Taylor... Chain...now we're talking.
