seattlesteve Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Help me out with what I just read. George Harrison, whose last album was Cloud 9, 15 years go, has a new disk coming out Nov 19th called "Braiwashed". His son and long time collaborator Jeff Lynn produced his final recorded works. Jeff Lynn said that the 11 origials and 1 cover knocked him out. The cover was stated as "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea". Could it be...?I went to ASCAP online and there is another published song by that name which appears to be an old standard having been sung by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, etc.Did Eric slip Ringo some sheet music with a twenty in it a couple years ago on tour to get it to George? Or is George singing a very old standard that at least I have never heard of?Jeff Lynn has a radio ear and track record, and I still think would be a cool producer for Eric for at least one cd.Seattle StevePS: I seem to be on a Beatles kick here but it's strictly coincidental. Just read that article last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymooladi Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Steve, I hope it's not Eric's song. I would be crushed to hear George do that song. Say it isn't so!! JUNE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Lots of songs co-exist with the same title. George has cut a cover of the old standard written by Harold Arlen (who also wrote the music for the Wizard of Oz among others)...not to be confused with Irving Berlin's "All By Myself." --Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapurasama Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Reminds me of a story told by songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.The released a song called "Words" in 1968, to mediocre success. They heard a few years later that Elvis's latest album had the song "Words" on it. They rushed out, bought the album, and were treated to the sounds of:"It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away".It was the Bee Gees song "Words", not their version.

Tony Cartmill Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Aaaaaah, Barry Gibb singing "Words" in concert... with that perfect blow-dried hair. I bet Darlene was stalking him in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I'm sure you had to fight off your share over the years Darlene. Did you have to beat them with your classical instruments to keep them away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 When I think of Boyce and Hart I think of 2 decent songwriters and Guacamole. No particular reason, I just really LOVE GUACAMOLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 When I think of Boyce and Hart, I think of the TV show "Bewitched". If memory serves me, seems like they were on an episode. I also connect them with "Days of Our Lives" the soap-- I believe they wrote the theme song. -- Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I was watching "I Dream Of Jeannie" & Boyce & Hart did the song called "Out & About". The duo also appeared on "The Flying Nun" & did a remake of the Sam & Dave hit "I Thank You" (also recorded by ZZ Top in 1980). Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart had a song called "I Remember The Feeling" back in 1976 which at the beginning of the song reminds me of "I'm A Believer". Their comeback song did not chart the Billboard Hot 100 or the Bubbling Under Charts. Tommy Boyce committed suicide the day after Thanksgiving back in 1994.

darlene Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Marvin, That's so tragic. I didn't know Tommy Boyce committed suicide. Tony, No, I never beat any guys with my instrument, but I once accidentally poked my bowin the eye of a very cute trumpet player when I was in All-State Orchestra!

aggiesjc Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hey, Matt, who wrote I'm A Believer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregkevinw Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 If I'm not mistaken, it was none other than Neil Diamond that wrote "believer"!That is so sad re: tommy boyce. he and bobby hart wrote some great top 40 songs (mostly for the monkees i believe). I remember "I wonder what she's doin' tonight.""we were so close but we should've been closer, and its makin' me feel so sad.but i tell myself i did'nt lose her.cause you can't lose a friend you never had!" Back in the day, that was a score!Not exactly eminem!Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 How come Neil Diamond couldn't find the rhythm of his own song when he did the season finale of Saturday Night Live? That must have been embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I am not sure but Neil's remake of "I'm A Believer" can also be found on the 1979 album "September Morn". I do not have the CD. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Neil's original version of "I'm A Believer" is on one of his first albums. I can't recall the title of the album, but the version is quite similar to what the Monkees did.MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlesteve Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 Pick up a guitar and start strumming Neil Diamond's Cherry Cherry, then blend it in to Mellencamps Rockin in the USA, then the Romantics What I Like About You. They are all extremely similar. E-A-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregkevinw Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 June, Saving Silverman is a very funny movie that features 3 young men who among other various hilarious situations are "Neil Diamond" fanatics.The humor is on the crude side though, so if you are easily offended, pass, if not enjoy.Hey, how about an Eric Carmen tribute band?Of course the downside to having Tony in the group is that he would be like having two members in one, and if he thinks he's Eric and Wally, he'll be in the corner fighting with himself alot!That and of course "our" website would be run by someone named SNAKE!How about a ladies EC tribute band?

marvin Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I used to be in a band that did a medley that included "Cherry Cherry", "R.O.C.K." and "I'm the Man" (Joe Jackson) and "Middle of the Road" (the Pretenders).MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
