The Guess Who - Discography - 320kbps Bitrate

By Ozzieguy9:15 PMThe Guess WhoNo comments

While the Guess Who did have several hits in America, they were superstars in their home country of Canada during the 1960s and early '70s. The band grew out of vocalist/guitarist Chad Allan (born Allan Kobel) and guitarist Randy Bachman's Winnipeg-based group Chad Allan and the Expressions, originally known as first the Silvertones and then the Reflections. The remainder of the lineup featured bassist Jim Kale, pianist Bob Ashley, and drummer Garry Peterson. The Expressions recorded a cover of Johnny Kidd and the Pirates' "Shakin' All Over" in 1965, which became a surprise hit in Canada and reached the U.S.

The Grass Roots - Discography - 320kbps Bitrate

By Ozzieguy11:09 AMThe Grass Roots2 comments

The Grass Roots had a series of major hits -- most notably "Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Temptation Eyes," and "Two Divided by Love" -- that help define the essence of the era's best AM radio. Although the group's members weren't even close to being recognizable, and their in-house songwriting was next to irrelevant, the Grass Roots managed to chart 14 Top 40 hits, including seven gold singles and one platinum single, and two had hits collections that effortlessly went gold. The group's history is also fairly complicated, because there were at least three different groups involved in the making of the songs identified as being by "the Grass Roots."

Marmalade

Marmalade is one of those groups that just seem to endure. In the U.K., they are best remembered for one record, a cover of the Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," while in America, their sole major hit was the wistful "Reflections of My Life." They charted number one records and even Top Ten American singles into the '70s, and the group -- especially with in early-'70s incarnation -- had many sides, including white soul, harmony-dominated pop/rock, and progressive pop, all very much like the Beatles in their middle years. However, it was their cover of a Beatles song, oddly enough, that weighed down their reputation in their homeland.
