Don't forget in 1975 I put the sax in the closet until around 2000. So, I'm brain dead about artist and tunes from 1975 to 2000 approximately.
On the way to laying brick one day, maybe in '77 or there about I heard "I Just Want To Be Your Everything." Loved it the first time I heard it.
When I started the OMB thing, this song was in my head but I couldn't remember a thing about it. Then one day in McDonalds maybe around 2002, it was playing and I found out the title when the DJ announced it.
So, my question is: This tune was recorded by Andy Gibbs and the Bee Gees, not just the Bee Gees as I've been thinking, right?
Andy's three older brothers were the Bee Gees and he started on his own around 1974. "I Just Want To Be Your Everything." was his first big hit in 1977
Sadly, Andy Gibb passed away in 1988 at the age of 30.
Diki, Larry thanks for the info. I searched google and found the song on YouTube but I missed the Wiki info. I'll check it out now.
Man I refuse to apologize for this statement. The recorded material from the 70's and through the present state of things pale in insignificance in comparison to this tune, Sinatra's New York New York, and there are others, but they are far, few and in between when talking vocals.
How many tunes do you hear with the flatted ninth or if you prefer to substitute a dim chord as it is used here and in "Friends In Low Places.
What memories!! Like I said before, I didn't think I liked any artist from the seventies. When I heard the DJ say Bee Gees, I said to myself at the time, "Man I didn't know I liked the Bee Gee's." It helps to keep an open mind.
You know what? This forum is really very nice sometimes when Diki, Chas and I are not stirring things up. Oh, throw DonM in this mix too! I wouldn't want to slight him. You ever see how big and mean he looks? Intimidating.
I was a Jim Croce fan then, and now. His album "Photographs and Memories" was very well done. Interestingly, the one song I like d more than others doesn't appear on current collections available. "It Doesn't Have To Be That Way" had tons of chord changes in it and is reminiscent of classical guitar playing. Another lost n his prime. I would love to have had a chance to get more from him..

And don't forget Steely Dan. They are from the 70s and their chord progressions are always tasty and interesting .... plus they also have a great sense of humor.
The 70's....Three dog Night...Sergio Mendez...Sly and the Family Stone....Chicago...Blood Sweat and Tears...lots of sophisticated, innovative, heavily jazz influenced material.
Yep, all those Russ and Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Chick Corea, et al, started making some solid inroads into the mainstream in the 70's. Not too shabby an era. I still love the Philly area stuff, Gamble and Huff, Thom Bell, etc.
Wow, you're not suppose to be able to do that. Amazing, and the bass player was also fantastic. She related? Almost forgot about Beck, shame on me, so thanks for reminding me how inovative he was.
The bass player is from Australia...Tai Wilkenfeldt(SP?) or something like that. I've seen her at Summer NAMM's and on some network talk shows with Beck.
The second coming of Jaco... (OK, maybe not, but she's sure hotter!). Make sure you check out Jeff Beck's 'Live at Ronnie Scott's' DVD. Outstanding!
I love Tal's musicianship ... and hotness. Jeff always picks talented players to work with. I have seen him live on many occasions. Whenever he plays anywhere near me I always make sure to catch him. I am never disappointed. His music has a magical quality. And you are so right about the "Live At Ronnie Scott's" DVD it sure is outstanding. Anyone who love Jeff's music should do themselves a favor and add this DVD to their collection.
