Today’s Monday Matinee offering is a documentary that highlights the amazing career of Steve Winwood. Steve’s success includes stints in historic groups such as The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith (to name a few) and an amazing solo career that continues through today. The documentary is named English Soul, highlighting the soulful quality of Steve’s voice. I think you will really enjoy this one…..thanks to the BBC for putting it together!
Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd’s eight album, was released in March of 1973. It was an immediate hit and is still a major seller forty years later. It has sold over 50 million albums so far and was on the Billboard Album chart for 741 straight weeks! It was, is, and always will be one of the best albums of all time. Listen to Us and Them and then hang around and watch a great documentary on the making of Dark Side of the Moon.
The Making Of Dark Side Of The Moon Documentary
Today’s post is the start of a series of new Monday posts that I call Monday Music Matinee. These posts will be music documentaries that I think you might find to be interesting.
The first post in this series was inspired by David Bowie’s recently released new album, The Next Day. The album is great and I figured there was no better time than now to celebrate the early part of David’s musical career. Thanks to BBC for this great documentary on David’s Ziggy Stardust period.
As I mentioned above, David just released a new album. It is his first album in ten years and it is terrific. As a bonus, give a listen to one of the album’s best songs The Stars (Are Out Tonight)………
