kazumi Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 According to Janey, Eric went to her house in Nashville and recorded "Only Time Will Tell" at her home studio. She said singing with Eric was "Almost Paradise". ( I think so ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 There was a time that I'd buy any new cd by an artist that I liked or that I heard was pretty good. Those days are long gone. I've become extremely selective on what I'll spend my $15+ on these days. There are a limited number of artists whose new music I'll buy without having heard a note. Who are they you ask? In no order:1. Eric Carmen2. Bruce Springsteen3. Paul McCartney4. Kyle Vincent5. Venice6. The Eagles (if they ever release another album) - Don Henley & Glenn Frey.7. Counting Crows8. Sheryl Crow9. CSN&Y10. Brian Wilson11. Fleetwood Mac (& Lindsey Buckingham)12. Billy Joel13. Jackson Browne14. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers15. Dan Fogelberg16. The Bee Gees17. Los Lobos18. Steve Earle19. Vince Gill20. Mary Chapin-CarpenterHow about you?Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazumi Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Julie, You are not the only one. I'm the one of John Waite's fans since he was in Babys, too. I like his voice very much. Kazumi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 The Baby's Anthology album has been a favorite of mine for such a long time. I also loved the hits I had heard by John Waite and Bad English. It hasn't been until recently that I started purchasing individual CD's. I'm quite happy with the Baby's "Head First", "On The Edge" & "Unio Jack". I also own both Bad English Cd's, but so far I am disappointed in the two John Waite solo Cd's I have bought "Ignition" & "No Brakes". But I will continue to purchase until I own them all.

Julie Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Cool that there are other Babys/John Waite/Bad English folks around. I've always thought there were a lot of parallels between JW and EC. Now, if Bernie were just a fan too, think of the great website JW could have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Umm...I once left a Baby's concert just as they were playing their first song...opening act was Angel...I was only interested in seeing them! --Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlin1 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I like groups that weren't AM staples of the 70's and 80's. Starz, UFO, Shooting Star, Klaatu and of Dwight Twilley. I always figured he would be the next EC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Dwight Twilley SHOULD HAVE BEEN the next Eric Carmen. He and his co-writer Phil Seymour, put out some incredible Pop music. In fact their first album, "The Dwight Twilley Band -Sincerely", was much more impressive than Eric's first solo album (as good as that was). Twilley is still around, and in between writing children's books, he's still releasing music. Check out his website (www.dwighttwilley.com) for further info.Regards,Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 Does Dwight Twilley have any songs those of us who haven't heard of him might know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I saw the Dwight Twilley Band performed on a show called "Wacko" that ran on CBS on Saturday or Sunday morning from September 17, 1977-September 3, 1978. There was a kangaroo cartoon & three hosts who i'm not sure what their names are. The Dwight Twilley Band had a song called "I'm On Fire" from 1975 peaking at # 16 on the Billboard Top 40 Charts & rock critics liked that song so they voted that song at # 2 behind Bruce Springsteen's "Born To Run" which was # 1. Dwight had some other songs including "You Were So Warm" from 1975 peaking at # 103 on the Billboard's Bubbling Under The Hot 100 chart, "Somebody To Love" from 1982 peaking at # 106 (Bubbling Under) & # 14 on the Billboard Album Rock Chart, "Girls" (with Tom Petty) from 1984 peaking at # 16 on the Billboard Top 40 chart & # 2 on the Billboard Album Rock Chart & "Little Bit Of Love" from 1984 peaking at # 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart & # 44 on the Billboard Album Rock Chart. Actress Tia Carrere did a remake of Dwight's "Why You Wanna Break My Heart" (from 1984 "Jungle") from the movie (Saturday Night Live) "Wayne's World". On the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, Dwight's "Sincerely" from 1976 peaked at # 138, "Twilley Don't Mind" from 1977 peaked at # 70, "Twilley" from 1979 peaked at # 113, "Scuba Divers" from 1982 peaked at # 109 & "Jungle" from 1984 peaked at # 39 (Dwight's only Top 40 Album). That is all the information on Dwight. Dwight's member Phil Seymour died of lymphoma on August 17, 1993. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 Thanks, Matt. As always, you come through with the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 It was the summer of 1975, I was in Boston vacationing when I heard "I'm On Fire" on the radio. Who the heck is this? I thought. This is an amazing song! I later checked an issue of "Hit Parader" magazine which reported that "I'm On Fire" was (in their opinion) the best first single by any act in 10 yrs. I bought the album soon after and was totally blown away. The next Twilley album, "Twilley Don't Mind" was just as good as has been everything he's released over the last 25 years. He really was (is) a true purveyor of everything 'Pop.'Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Anyone out there hear of a band called "The Drysdales"? Apparently they are in the "Power Pop" vein and Scott had a hand in their cd.Regards,Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlesteve Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 There were a few Baby's/Waite songs that I thought would benefit from a Carmen/Raspberries treatment such as Isn't it Time, and Missing You, among others.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Seattle Steve, I don't know if Missing You could be saved by anybody, but some of those Babys songs are worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregkevinw Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 "missing you" could have been a great song, but i cring everytime i hear "i AINT MISSIN' you at all" as for harder rocking melodies...try Splender: Halfway Down the Sky (produced by Todd Rundgren)they also have a new cd, which i have not heard.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
