RIP Clem Burke.
RIP Clem Burke.
I agree - this album is the best album Simple Minds ever made, and it was downhill from there and on. They still made some very nice tracks, but this album ‘New Gold Dream’ was just so well made.

A palate cleanser
I’m not sure what Ed had in mind here
One more.
Dino was a fierce drummer…
“Rest In Peace, Nino Tempo (4-12-2025). Rest In Peace, April Stevens (4-17-2023).
1963…#1 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #1 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #3 Canada
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
“Deep Purple” hit number one on the U.S. pop charts (the 100th song to do so) in November 1963 and also won that year’s Grammy Award for Best Rock and Roll Record, was recorded by brother-sister act Nino Tempo & April Stevens. It remained in the Top 40 for twelve weeks and was number one on the Hot 100 the week before John F. Kennedy was assassinated. This version of the song is notable for its second half, in which April Stevens speaks the lyrics in a low and sweet voice while Nino Tempo sings. According to the Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, when the duo first recorded the song as a demo, Tempo forgot the words, and Stevens spoke the lyrics to the song to remind him. The record’s producers thought Stevens’ spoken interludes were “cute” and should be included on the finished product, but according to Stevens, Tempo “didn’t want anyone talking while he was singing!”
This is one where I think the remake with Rod Stewart and Ronald Isley is better than the original. I like the slightly slower pace, and the song is sung in a slightly lower key.
Zootown is getting ready. They’ll be here tomorrow!
RIP, Wink Martindale. Probably the best game show host name ever.
