David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust (Can you say glamrock?)


Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes


Uriah Heap - Easy Livin'


Mark Almond - The City


The O'Jays - 992 Arguments


Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
(1,716,256 views on Youtube. Anybody know when and where this was?)




Leon Russell - Tightrope (video mashup over the track)


Bonus Leon Russell just because it's too good to pass up. Yes that is really Leon Russell with short hair circa 1964. If you look at the eyes and nose you can see it.


Hollies - Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress


Al Green - Love & Happiness (I had a clip of a young Al Green on Soul Train but it got taken down. Bad timing I guess. So now we have Al in concert in memphis.)


Rod Stewart - Handbags & Gladrags


And just because I hate what Rod Stewart became in old age here is the original version of the song as it charted in 1967.


So that didn't turn out too bad. We got something for every song and a couple bonus historical cuts as well. That Leon Russell clip is almost 44 years old. Just as a point of interest, YouTube often has lots of extra material about artists that appear here. I can't post it all cause... well I'd never get the blog posted and it is a little off focus for what I'm doing here. However, if you see something here by an artist you like, by all means hit YouTube and see what else there is. Everybody have a good weekend and we'll pick this up on Monday.
