Steve Harley's four minute masterpiece is a pop classic. The wonderful stop-start structure, Harley's arch vocals (with ensemble backing) and the jaunty acoustic backing all contribute to this well-rounded & brilliant bit of musical joy. He had other hits but nothing ever really approached this moment of perfection, which remains a sing-along classic when I'm DJing.
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's all about the #music!
A lot of music by great musicians Wikipedia bouncers deem to be irrelevant, a lot of music you won't find at #Spotify (so better leave this crap for good).
There is #CreativeCommons music included and of course super cool artists from the Fediverse will be featured like
@n3wjack or
@anja .
Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
Got questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask here!

I’m researching the career of musician Cherry Wainer and the 1950s-1960s music scene.
In October 1958, a Daily Herald reporter caught up with Cherry as she emerged from a shop in Shaftesbury Avenue clutching five-guinea sweaters and three boxes of expensive cuff-links. “For my friends,” she said, scurrying towards her pink low-slung sports car before the approaching policemen noticed the “no parking” sign.
I’m conducting a series of surveys to determine the top twenty iconic recording artists of the 1950s and 1960s. The top twenty will feature in a future chart poll.
Our final group of four.
Please vote for as many of these artists as you like. At this stage, they are not competing against each other - we are looking to establish a hierarchy.

Born on this day in 1924, Dinah Washington. A singer and pianist, initially in church, Dinah was one of the most popular female recording artists of the 1950s. She possessed a “gritty, salty, high-pitched voice, marked by absolute clarity of diction and clipped, bluesy phrasing.” - Richard S. Ginell. No matter what the quality of the material, she sang everything with heartfelt emotion.
