I love this photo. It's Berry Gordy going all Jurgen Klopp on The Jackson 5.
"Michael, you're not tracking back!!!"
He co-wrote 'I Want You Back' , him being a member of The Corporation.
Which is now on the LSwMB.

A song that pretty much tanked when released (didn't make Top 50) but has gone on to become a Christmas classic.

Any list of top soundtrack albums that doesn't have "The Harder They Come" on it is bogus.
RIP, Jimmy Cliff.

OTD in 1976 I want to see the Sex Pistols for the first time. Notre Dame Hall, just off Leicester Square, being filmed for LWT. A media event - felt Warholian with the lights cameras and people wearing weird clothes acting out. I am at left back with the beret, moving in. Photo by Jonh Ingham

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

This week in 1979, Eton Rifles became the Jam's biggest hit. So far.
Possibly their best single, too.
