MJ Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks Don - I hope Jesse shakes up Brooklyn! I should send my brother and one of my other friends to it since they live in the City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Paullie, that's pretty funny--I thought it said Clive-Fest too! We've been thinking about Clive way too much lately! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Krider Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 A CliveFest would scare me... A CleveFest rocks!I was stunned (probably shouldn't have been) to find out that Clive Davis has a site on MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=180441552 --- notice that where it says "the person I'd like to meet" he says it's the "unknown artist" playing "Over The Rainbow" that is the background music on his page...

Don_Krider Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 .....thanks for the links, don!.......jesse has some rockin' tunes, and i'm hoping to get his dad to play on a couple of 'em!!! Tommy, I hope that Wally does do that. He and Jesse were terrific on The Bryson Group's "Dry" album --- http://www.thebrysongroup.com/ (if anyone hasn't watched the video there, check it out --- it's a lovely performance filmed in Cleveland).Former Raspberries producer Jimmy Ienner said of the "Dry" album, "The harmonies are so good, they're absurd. The world needs to hear this music." I agree.Speaking of Jimmy, his son, Jimmy Ienner, Jr., is a pretty impressive music-connected guy, too: http://web.mac.com/jiennerjr/United_Productions_Company/Home.html Like MJ asked, did anyone go to CleveFest?Don Krider http://www.epinions.com/content_177981263492 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Krider Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Jimmy Ienner, Sr., in case anyone doesn't know it, produced four Raspberries albums, the first Eric Carmen album, Sha Na Na, The Bay City Rollers, Grand Funk, Blood Sweat & Tears, Lighthourse and Janey Street (Janey can be seen in a 1984 VH-1 video, "Under The Clock, at http://youtube.com/watch?v=m7OptZX6RfE ), and executive produced "Dirty Dancing," and others.Anyway, Phonograph Recpord Magazine had a "Blind Date" column in every issue. For the column, they would play various artists for a musician and see if they could identify the artist.In their February, 1975, issue, the "Blind Date" subject was Eric Carmen in an article written by Alan Betrock. Eric was asked to identify the singers and one of the songs grabbed his attention:--------------------------------------The Barons --- "Since You're Gone" (RCA). Written and produced by Jimmy Ienner, 1967.Eric: "I think I know who that is. It's Jimmy Ienner. I just heard this one about one month ago when Don (Jimmy's brother) played it for me. Anyone who wants to slam me for copying things, I'll point them to my producer from now on!"---------------------------------------- The full story is at: http://www.ericcarmen.com/press/750200a.htm I have searched for that record many times at record shows, but never found it. Since Jimmy sang the bass vocal on Gene Chandler's "Duke Of Earl" and Raspberries "Drivin' Around," I've always wondered what that Barons recording sounded like.Don Krider http://www.epinions.com/content_393207123588 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
