1960 and released “El Ringo” that year. Touring as the backing act for several
other prominent artists, including Buddy Knox, which established the band
as seasoned professionals allowing them to record material as Wes
Dakus & The Rebels with famed producer Norm Petty (Buddy Holly, The Fireballs)

himself and erstwhile member Barry Allen’s side project as a solo artist.

A band started by Ierace who used the stage name Donnie Iris

found another band using that name so they changed the s to a z. The band's
name has nothing to do with Mick Jagger; it derives from the Western Pennsylvania
English term, "jagger," meaning any small, sharp-pointed object, typically
thorns and prickles.

Originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac in 1968, the song became
a mega-hit for Carlos Santana in 1970. The original recording by Peter Green's
Fleetwood Mac featured guitars that were slightly below standard pitch, probably
due to them being tuned to a piano or another guitar in the recording studio
which makes them kind of unique. Like Albatross, the first instrumental hit
by the band, Black Magic Woman was a big hit in the UK but didn’t really
catch on this side of the Atlantic until Santana.

In Canada we got this song on the album Yesterday and
Today; most of the rest of the world got it from Revolver. John Lennon called
this “another of my throwaways… fancy paper around an empty box.” It was
actually written about Frank Sinatra after reading an article in Esquire
Magazine which called Sinatra “the fully emancipated male…the man who can
have anything he wants.” Dual lead guitars by George and Paul are really
cool!

Its success earned the group a promotional contract with musical equipment
makers Vox, makers of The Beatles’ famous amps. They recorded this advert,
demonstrating the use of Vox's wah-wah pedal in early 1967, and the
band was featured in magazines such as Teen Beat.

One of you listeners wrote me this:
“Hi Steve, Leon Russell made an incredible album in 1974 called Hank
Wilson's Back. He recorded it in Nashville with many great musicians including
J.J Cale. This album went under the radar for many people and radio stations
and still does. Perhaps you are familiar with this amazing record. I got
my copy at Sam the Record Man and a while later they discounted it to $2.99
and I bought them all and gave them to my friends and family."
So we’re gonna find out what he’s goin’ on about at the end of the next set
of music, on 33.45.78 with Steve Fruitman a course, beginning with a Jet

Produced 1960
Vince Taylor b. Brian Maurice Holden July 14, 1939 Isleworth, UK / d. August 28, 1991
When he was seven years old, his family emigrated to America
and settled in New Jersey where his father took work in a coal mine. The
family later moved to California where Brian grew up.
At age 18, impressed by the music of Gene Vincent and Elvis Presley, Taylor
began to sing, When his brother-in-law, who became his manager, went to London
on business he asked Taylor to join him to check out the music scene. He
formed The Playboys and they released their first single “I Like Love”
in 1958. After the release of Jet Black Machine in 1960, there were several
arguments between Taylor and the band, and The Playboys fired and changed
their name to "The Bobbie Clarke Noise".
According to David Bowie, Taylor was the main inspiration behind the Ziggy Stardust character.
Interestingly, the songwriter of ‘Jet Black Machine’, Clilfford Adams (aka
Clifford Davis) went on to become the first manager, in 1967, of a brand
new band called Fleetwood Mac. ( He would manage The Mac until 1974
when the band temporarily fell apart and Adams hired another band, Curved
Air, to tour as ‘Fleetwood Mac’ in order to fulfill gig commitments.
He also claimed that he owned the group's name, which caused ill-feeling
between him and the remaining band members. The members of the real Fleetwood
Mac brought legal proceedings against Davis, and the subsequent court case
lasted 4 years.

original hit song, Nothin’, but it wasn’t until they released Gaslight
in 1967 that they hit the number one spot in Canada. In 1968 Yorkville Records
released the band's debut album, 'Somewhere Outside', and Mick Jagger proclaimed
The Ugly Ducklings as "my favourite Canadian band". The trouble was, they
