At 20 minutes, the 1965 debut episode JM recording of the theme song, in better fidelity. (And apparently you'll have to scroll back the full show above, since it doesn't seem to like the proximity of the skip-ahead 20-minute link under it...for me, it jumps into the 1968 version of the theme at show's end, with unfortunate static.)

A great crop of music this month, most of it truly underappreciated. I mostly despise rap & and hip-hop but I've always found what Gil Scott Heron brought to the table compelling.
ReplyDeleteTodd – Mind if I contribute as couple of tunes?
ReplyDeleteElgin--done! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCharlie--It always helps to keep your ears open...I like Scott-Heron more than the Last Poets, but they certainly were, together, the most visible founders of rap, and frequently minimized in the rush to tag Grandmaster Flash and the other folk from the other end of the '70s as the founders...as the Poets once put it on an album, This Is Madness. Thanks for being the most consistent contributor over the years!!
As always, thank you for assembling all these great "under-appreciated" links!
ReplyDeleteThank you, George, for your consistent contribution...and sorry I took another opportunity to bash the Davis style cult. At his best, he was a very talented vicious spoiled brat of a man.
