  • BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Bobby Charles was born Robert Charles Guidry on 21st February 1938 in Abbeville, Louisiana. A native Cajun himself, he recalled that his life “changed for ever” when he re-tuned his parents’ radio set from a local Cajun station to one playing records by Fats Domino. Most successful as a songwriter, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of swamp pop. His own vocal style was laidback and drawling. His biggest successes were songs other artists covered, such as ‘See You Later Alligator’ by Bill Haley & His Comets; ‘Walking To New Orleans’ by Fats Domino - with whom he recorded a duet of the same song in the 1990s - and ‘(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do’ by Clarence “Frogman” Henry. It allowed him to live off the song-writing royalties for the rest of his life! No albums were by him released in this period. Two other well-known compositions are ‘The Jealous Kind’, recorded by Joe Cocker, and ‘Tennessee Blues’ by Kris. Disenchanted with the music business, Bobby disappeared from the music scene in the mid-1960s but returned in 1972 with a self-titled album on the Bearsville label on which he was accompanied by Rick Danko and several other members of the Band and Dr John. Bobby later made a rare live appearance as a guest singer on stage at The Last Waltz, the 1976 farewell concert of the Band, although his contribution was cut from Martin Scorsese’s film of the event. Bobby Charles returned to the studio in later years, recording a European-only album called Clean Water in 1987.

Gower, #9, L.A., Ca. 90028 (213) 465-5144 Records UJ t • Modern Records began with the exclusive signing of Stevie Nicks in the fall of 1978. Modern then signed its distribution deal with Atlantic in June of 1979. While Stevie was com- pleting her recording and touring obligations to Fleetwood Mac, two other acts were signed to the label, Joey Wilson and Jah Malla. When their albums proved not to be successful, in Danny's words, "We changed our game plan. We looked at our bottom line and tried to project our future bottom line and decided that, for the time being, what we had to do was concentrate solely on Stevie. I mean the difference between selling 1 million or 2 million albums on a superstar makes a good deal more sense than 20,000 or 60,000 on a new act. While we both love the creative as- pects of breaking new acts, we want to stay in business first." Based on this philosophy, Paul and Danny decided to put all their efforts into maximizing the career of their only artist, Stevie Nicks. They were intimately involved in everything from introducing her to her producer, Jimmy lovine, imput on arrangements and material, introducing her to Tom Petty etc. The "Bella Donna" album was released in the summer of '81 with the single "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" out about two weeks prior ro the LP.

  • Todd Rundgren Information
    Todd Rundgren I have been a Todd Rundgren fan for over 40 years now. His music has helped me cope with many things in my life including having RSD and now having an amputation. I feel that Todd is one of the most talented musician, song writer and music producer that I have ever met in my life. If you have ever heard Todd's music or had an opportunity to see Todd in concert, you will know what I mean. Most people do not know who Todd Rundgren is. Most people say Todd who? Todd's best-known songs are "Can We Still Be Friends," "Hello, It's Me" "I Saw the Light," "Love is the Answer," and "Bang on the Drum All Day" (this is the song that you hear at every sporting event). Todd is also known for his work with his two bands Nazz and Utopia, while producing records for artists such as Meat Loaf, Hall and Oats, Grand Funk Railroad, Hiroshi Takano, Badfinger, XTC, and the New York Dolls.

  • New Work: Don Van Vliet
    DON VAN VLIET JO NOVEMBER 1911 THROUGH 19 JANUARY 1919 SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART A SERIES OF RECENT WORK BY YOUNGER AND ESTABLISHED ARTISTS DON VAN VLIET living on a cliff overlookingthe Pacific since the early eighties amid the redwood forests and wildlife. Don Van Vliet has embraced painting with the same controlled passion that made him. as the avant-garde rock composer and performer Captain Beefheart. a cult figure of conspicuous influence and one of the genuine musical geniuses of the past twenty years. Self-trained as a painter and knowing relatively little about the history of art or the current scene, he is a modernist primitive but also an artist whose remarka­ ble intuitive gifts and love of nature have combined to create highly charged paintings that are at once jolting as well as lyrical. The essence ofVanVliet's sensibility is a longing for an artistic expression that is direct. intuitive, and bewitching. In the philosoph­ ical tradition of the eighteenth-century French writer Jean Jacques Rousseau. he is critical of the current. corrupted state of society. Seeking to reaffirmhumanity's inherent virtues like Rousseau,Van Vliet advocates embracing nature and relocating man in a position that stems from natural order rather than an imposed hierarchy. His paintings-most frequently indeterminate landscapes populated by forms of abstracted animals-are intended to effect psychological. spiritual, and magical force. In discussing his musical compositions with a critic, he also affirmed the role of the artist as wizard, saying. "You see. I don't think I do music. I think I do spells:· 1 Image-making to him seems to be an act of reassurance.
