Born on this day ... - Ruby - 24-02-2015

I thought a cool thread might be one designed to pay tribute to various musicians on their respective dates of birth - whether living or past. There are birthday lists all over the www and we all know how to access them … so … as often as possible, I’m going to pick a muso who was born on ‘this’ day and post a clip of something of theirs that I enjoy.

Looking forward to seeing others’ choices here too!

To start off with then - George Harrison who was born on 24 February 1943.

Daniel Powter, born 25 February 1971. He had a huge hit with “Bad Day” (which was released a decade back – is it really that long ago?!), and has since made 4 studio albums although nothing seems to have come close to the success of that first single.

In other news - Elkie Brooks turns 67 today, and Enrico Caruso was born on this day 142 years ago.

^Nothing wrong with wandering off track! That’s where the good stuff is found. I listened to the Fours Seasons' version, and get your point!

Jonathan Cain – born 26 February 1950. Keyboardist and composer with Journey, primarily. He’s still with the Perry-less band and is also associated with Jimmy Barnes and Michael Bolton (who coincidentally turns 62 today, but I’m not going there ) ….

Never a big fan of Journey myself, there’s no denying their hugely memorable power anthems; so … co-written by Jonathan Cain and the voice – “Who’s Crying Now” …

PS - ^They're in exalted company. I'm leaving the Cashman to CH ... :biggrin:.

Feel free to add JC Ruby....

I'm not a Journey fan neither, I have one album and don't like it.

Johnny Cash was born on this day, 26 February, in 1932. His blend of traditional country and folk is staggering!
A genuine in your face artist, no bull!

Fats Domino...."the greatest" artist of the 1950s rock era IMO

John Cash.......the term "sex and drugs and rock n roll" describes his life to a tee and he was doing it all long before Keith Richards did it!
.....................Cash was the original "country outlaw" artist
