Music Break

Once again, it's been way too long since I've posted one of these.  To start, here's a song I listened to during my teen years, Sunny Days by the Canadian group Lighthouse.  (They should not be confused with the English group Edison Lighthouse.)

Foreigner's third album Head Games includes the self-deprecating song Dirty White Boy.  The band included lead singer Lou Gramm, lead guitarist Mick Jones (formerly of Spooky Tooth), guitarist/sax player/keyboardist Ian McDonald (formerly of King Crimson), keyboardist Al Greenwood, bassist Rick Wills (formerly of Frampton's Camel, later of Bad Company), and drummer Dennis Elliot.  McDonald plays rhythm guitar on this one.  Wills replaced original bassist Ed Gagliardi.

Humble Pie's 1972 album Smokin' included Hot 'n' Nasty, on which lead singer/guitarist Steve Marriott plays piano and organ.  New member Clem Clempson (who replaced Peter Frampton) handles the guitar chores, alongside Greg Ridley on bass and Jerry Shirley on drums.  Guest performer Stephen Stills contributes to the backing vocals.

April Wine's 1972 album On Record included a cover of Hot Chocolate's You Could Have Been A Lady.  A this point, the band included Myles Goodwyn on lead vocals and guitar, David Henman on guitar, Ritchie Henman on drums, and Jim Clench on bass.

To finish, this is Tempus Fugit from the 1980 Yes album Drama, which features Buggles members Trevor Horn on lead vocals and Geoff Downes on keyboards and vocoder.  This lineup of the band includes long-time members Steve Howe on guitar and Alan White on drums, along with sole original member Chris Squire on bass.
