Happy Birthday to Michael Franks. He was born on this day in 1944 in La Jolla, California.
Heâs an entirely self-taught smooth jazz maestro, and very pleasant listening he makes, especially when youâre in an indolent mood and not up to too many musical challenges! Nothing remotely jarring about this stuff â it was made for long, lazy, sunny afternoons, preferably somewhere near water.
The lyrics of some of his songs are sometimes a bit ditzy and quite good fun, without being banal (I really donât know of anyone else who has a song titled âEggplantâ, or âVincentâs Earâ for that matter!), and thereâs a lot right with the ensembles he seems to have a knack for gathering around him - Joe Sample, Dave Sanborn, Michael Brecker to name a few.
Heâs released 18 studio albums since 1973 and has had his songs recorded by artists such as Steely Dan, The Manhattan Transfer, Diana Krall, Ringo Starr, Shirley Bassey, the Carpenters and Patti Labelle.
The title track from Tiger in the Rain â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSSK4kVTxtE
The lead track from Blue Pacific - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48aPSkTfmno
And the final track from The Art of Tea, his second album âMr Blueâ (on which can be found the aforementioned âEggplantâ, in case anyoneâs interested!) â¦
