        7 ways 1967 totally rocked

        In conjunction with the GRAMMY Museum's Jim Marshall's 1967 exhibit launch, here are seven reasons 1967 was one of the most pivotal years in music

        Organized by the San Francisco Arts Commission in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of San Francisco's Summer of Love, the GRAMMY Museum's new Jim Marshall's 1967 exhibit features 60 curated images from thousands Marshall took while he documented history in the making. Displayed in chronological order, the exhibition collects a trove of Marshall's photographs that capture the essence of the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, including artists such as Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead.

        The exhibition will be on display now through May 14. To celebrate the exhibit's opening, here's a look back at seven unforgettable ways 1967 was a year of musical high points.

        The Beatles drop Sgt. Pepper's …

        The year 1967 saw the release of some of the most iconic albums in modern music history. On June 1, 1967, the Beatles unveiled Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a feat of masterful production and a quantum leap forward for the album format. That year also introduced the public to artists who would go on to have lasting legacies, with Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, David Bowie, Velvet Underground, and Leonard Cohen all releasing debut albums that year.

        Fleetwood Mac's green debut

        Fleetwood Mac's original lineup, fronted by Peter Green, made their first live performance in 1967, laying the groundwork for the later successful incarnation featuring Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. They would go on to release "Black Magic Woman" in early 1968, which would later become a massive hit for Santana, who played their first show in 1967. Although blues and rock were certainly at the forefront of the musical scene that year, 1967 also saw the formation of funk/soul powerhouse Sly And The Family Stone, as well as synth experimentalists Tangerine Dream. In August 1967, the power trio Cream, featuring Eric Clapton, made their U.S. live performance debut at the Fillmore in San Francisco.

        The Queen of Soul wins big

        Recognizing music released in 1967, at the 10th GRAMMY Awards Aretha Franklin took home her first two GRAMMYs, both for her now-classic "Respect." She has gone on to win another 16 awards over the course of her career, making her one of the top GRAMMY winners in history. Other notable wins for 1967 went to "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave, "Jackson" by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, and the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which netted three GRAMMYs, including Album Of The Year.

        The birth of the festival

        From tiny bars, clubs and ballrooms to large theaters, stadiums and outdoor festivals, live music was everywhere in 1967. The Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 became a watershed moment, and is considered by many to be the first true pop music festival. (Although some argue that title belongs to the KFRC Fantasy Fair and Mountain Music Festival held two weeks prior.) Regarded as the starting point for the Summer of Love, the festival featured performances by Big Brother And The Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin), the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and Ravi Shankar, among others.

        Big TV moments with the Doors and the Who

        The Doors frontman Jim Morrison made a splash on "The Ed Sullivan Show" by defying censors who'd instructed him to change the lyrics to the band's hit song "Light My Fire." On live television that same night, the Who punctuated a performance of "My Generation" by destroying their instruments and blowing up Keith Moon's drum set with gunpowder on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour." Pete Townsend attributes the partial deafness he now suffers in one ear to that explosive incident.

        Hendrix's wah-wah

        Speaking of Hendrix, the incendiary sound of his 1967 single "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" featured his first recorded usage of the wah-wah pedal, which was first released to the public that same year. Hendrix helped popularize the effect at 1969's Woodstock festival, with his iconic instrumental performance of "A Star-Spangled Banner" considered to be a milestone wah-wah moment. The pedal went on to become synonymous with the sounds of '70s psychedelic rock and funk. Also that year: Kustom sold the first solid-state transistor amplifiers, which became popularized by early-adopters Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the first prototype 16-track recorder was tested out by Mirasound Studios in New York City.

        The Summer of Love

        The Summer of Love, the primary focus of the GRAMMY Museum's Jim Marshall's 1967 exhibit, drew its namesake from a magnetic cultural gathering of hippies and young people in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. As many as 100,000 people relocated to the area, brought together by shared countercultural values, interest in emerging music and avant-garde art, and opposition to the Vietnam War.

        Top 10 Vinyl Bestsellers Of 2018 Reflect British Tastes

        With the UK's own David Bowie, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Queen, and Amy Winehouse coming in strong, find out who else made the list

        Jan 4, 2019 - 6:01 pm

        The Official Charts Company announced 2018's vinyl album bestsellers on Jan. 4, and the results offer a quick trip to British taste — as David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Queen, and Amy Winehouse give the feeling that London is calling, Oasis' (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? gives a shout out to Manchester and Arctic Monkeys top the list at No. 1.

        For The Record: Amy Winehouse's 'Back To Black'

        Many of the albums on the list present a tour of past peaks for the artists. Amy Winehouse's Back To Black won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 50th GRAMMY Awards. David Bowie and Queen both make the list based on recent greatest hits compilations.

        Nirvana's 'Nevermind': For The Record

        But not all of the top vinyl albums of 2018 came from England. The Seattle alternative sound of Nirvana made the list too, alongside British-American hybrid Fleetwood Mac. Nirvana's Nevermind brought the band its first nomination at the 34th GRAMMY Awards for Best Alternative Music Album. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours won Album Of The Year at the 20th GRAMMY Awards.

        Newcomer George Ezra made a strong appearance on the list, with Staying At Tamara's punching in at No. 6.

        Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon has surrounded and shaped so many life experiences that it is sentimental to see it still in the UK top 10 for 2018.

        61st GRAMMY Awards nominees making the Official Charts Company's 2018 bestsellers list include the aforementioned Arctic Monkey's Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino and the soundtrack to The Greatest Showman, including songs composed by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

        "You need cooling, baby I'm not fooling." "Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?" "Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games." "I found it hard, it's hard to find. Oh well, whatever, never mind."

        Sure enough, as these lyrics reverberate in your head, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the inimitable voices behind them. Indeed, the classic rock era — the mid-'60s to the late '80s, and now including the '90s — was littered with a variety of one-of-a-kind singers — instantly recognizable voices who breathed life into classic anthems spanning "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and beyond.

        Polls

        Which classic rock lead singer has the most iconic voice?

        In the '60s, the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger arguably set the template for the modern rock and roll frontman, commanding the stage and matching bandmate Keith Richards' meaty guitar riffs with his distinctive vocal delivery. Other iconic frontmen such as Roger Daltrey and Robert Plant put their own vocal stamps on classics by the Who and Led Zeppelin, respectively, perfectly complementing master six stringers Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page on songs like "My Generation" and "Whole Lotta Love."

        With his operatic tenor, Freddie Mercury began his reign with Queen in the '70s, sprinkling magical vocals on top of songs such as "Bohemian Rapsody," "Another One Bites The Dust" and "We Will Rock You." Initially dismissed as a Jagger knockoff, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler ultimately proved his mettle with his inimitable blues-rock yowl, adding gravelly character to hits such as "Dream On," "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion."

        Ann Wilson brought intense dynamics to the Heart catalog, going from a whisper to 11 on "Crazy On You" and bringing fire and fury to the likes of "Barracuda." Meanwhile, Stevie Nicks' expressive, husky voice yielded a beautiful yet haunting dimension to Fleetwood Mac hits such as "Dreams," "Gold Dust Woman" and "Sara."

        Perhaps the very definition of a soaring rock tenor, Steve Perry's voice gave Journey fans goosebumps whether presiding over infectious anthems such as "Don't Stop Believin'" or soft ballads like "Open Arms" and "Faithfully." Arguably the most volatile figure from the '80s L.A. rock scene, Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose slithered through multiple vocal personalities, evidenced by his patented screams on "Welcome To The Jungle" and laidback, heartfelt delivery on "Sweet Child O' Mine."

        Speaking of volatility, the music of Seattle erupted in the early '90s. Leading the way were Nirvana, with Kurt Cobain whispering and seething on songs such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and showcasing a more dynamic vocal approach on quieter numbers like "Something In The Way." Armed with an astonishing voice, Soundgarden's Chris Cornell bridged the hard rock of the '80s and the unique sonic characteristics of grunge. His vocals spanned the sustained howls of "Rusty Cage" to the confessional delivery of "Black Hole Sun" and the hypnotic "Spoonman."

        To quote Steve Perry, as far as classic rock vocalists, we could keep going "on and on and on and on." So, we want to know: Which classic rock lead singer has the most iconic voice? Cast your vote!

        'Band Of Gypsys': 5 Facts About Jimi Hendrix's Final Living Release | GRAMMY Hall Of Fame

        Facebook Twitter Email
        A live album comprising a heart-wrenching look into the untapped potential still to be explored, Jimi Hendrix's 'Band Of Gypsys' gives just a small glance into the iconic guitarist's limitless well of talent

        Released just months before the legendary pioneer's passing at the age of just 27, Jimi Hendrix's Band Of Gypsys gave the world a heart-wrenching look the iconic guitarist's limitless well of talent still to be explored.

        Clocking in at over 45 minutes with a tracklist just six entries long, Band Of Gypsys marked a departure of sorts from Hendrix's traditional brash, psychedelic hard-rock sound and a transition toward the more blues-oriented improvisational sounds that were both the foundation of the guitarist's roots and the new direction of his musical goals. Ultimately, the album would lay the groundwork for the elements of proto-funk fusion that would come to define the next decade of popular rock.

        In honor of the album's inclusion with the 2018 class of GRAMMY Hall Of Fame inductees, here are five intriguing details about Band Of Gypsys that you may find surprising.

        1. First Recording Without The Experience

        Prior to Band Of Gypsys, all of Hendrix's studio releases were recorded with the same core musicians. Together with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell, Hendrix introduced himself and his band to the world as the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The trio released all three of the albums — 1967's Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, and 1968's Electric Ladyland — that made them icons of psychedelic rock over a period of less than 16 months. But by late 1969, Hendrix was still under pressure to come up with a follow-up to Electric Ladyland, as well as to satisfy a contract dispute with a former manager that stipulated another LP of material be released. As Redding had departed the group for personal reasons in late 1969, effectively disbanding the Experience, Hendrix sought out frequent jam partners Billy Cox (bass) and Buddy Miles (drums), and the Band Of Gypsys was born. The band's 1970 live recording at the Filmore East in New York that became Band Of Gypsys was Hendrix's first-ever recording released without the Experience as his backing band.

        2. The Woodstock Connection

        As well as serving as a frequent jamming partner when Hendrix was in the mood to explore his more blues and R&B-leaning tendencies, bassist Cox also played in the interim backing band that took the stage with Hendrix at Woodstock in 1969, loosely known as Gypsy Sun And Rainbows. Following his rejoining with Hendrix to help form Band Of Gypsys for a series of shows in 1970, Cox would continue to play with Hendrix as a member of the Cry Of Love band. With original Experience drummer Mitchell rounding out the lineup for the Cry Of Love trio, the group would eventually be known unofficially as the New Experience, leading later fans of the band to incorrectly believe that Cox was an original member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. As of today, Cox remains the only surviving member of Hendrix's three main backing bands (the Experience, Band Of Gypsys, Cry Of Love).

        3. Miles Ahead Of His Time

        Drummer George Allen Miles was given the nickname "Buddy" by his aunt at a young age, after the famously temperamental jazz drummer Buddy Rich. His father had made a career playing upright bass with a variety of famous jazz players, including Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker — the latter a frequent collaborator of Miles' namesake Rich.  Miles first jammed with Hendrix at an impromptu practice session held at a home owned by Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills And Nash) sometime in 1967. He would encounter Hendrix for similar one-off sessions on both U.S. coasts over the next year, but it wasn't until early 1970, just after his own band Buddy Miles Express had dissolved that Miles go the call to come join the new project Band Of Gypsys. While his time with the Gypsys remains some his most-known efforts, Miles would go on to build a truly impressive résumé, playing with artists as varied as Carlos Santana, Mike Bloomfield, jazz guitarist John McLaughlin, Neal Schon of Journey, and even Phish. Fun Fact: Miles also sang the lead vocals for the famous "California Raisins" claymation commercials in the late '80s and early '90s.

        4. The Way Of The Gun

        The crown jewel of Band Of Gypsys is, of course, "Machine Gun." The 12-plus-minute spacey, experimental track served as a lengthy sonic commentary on the Vietnam War — and perhaps also all conflict, whether internal and external, if one takes into account the short dedication speeches Hendrix would typically recite prior to launching into nearly every recorded live performance of the song.

        Opening with sparse, blues-influenced playing that many still call the best work of Hendrix's career, the track melts slowly into a series of restrained, effects-driven improvisations that seem aimed to simulate the dissonant battlefield overtures of helicopters and gunfire, while Hendrix himself breaks down his central plea, "Machine gun/tearing my family apart/…/Don't you shoot him down/he's about to leave here." Now considered one of the guitarist's crowning achievements and painful reminders of the creativity that still was to come had he survived, the opus of radical improvisation was recorded live numerous times at various performances, but never officially tracked in the studio. It stands now as a testament to the strength of Hendrix's musical expressivity

        5. A Legacy Of Funk

        In the face of the huge anticipation for a follow-up record to the critically acclaimed Electric Ladyland, Band Of Gypsys initially received somewhat mixed reviews from the public over the inconsistency of some of the recordings, as well as the lengthy departures from the trademark sound that had made Hedrix and the Experience famous in the first place.  But in retrospect, it seems clear that the record, as the final creative output of an artist forever known for pushing boundaries and seeking the distant edge of the state of his craft, served instead as one of the earliest blueprints of the coming decade of popular rock music. The effects-heavy yet expertly restrained musical abstractions formed the influential basis of much of the 1970s' best-known blues-rock, while also informing the earliest experimentations in uptempo funk fusion that would later make acts like Parliament famous. Throughout the '70s, and even into the over-produced sheen of the '80s, and the eventual alt-rock revival of the '90s, the story of the sonic legacy of Band Of Gypsys is a book that is still being written to this day.

        GRAMMY-winning stoner comedy pioneers Cheech & Chong have a brand-new exhibit opening this month at the GRAMMY Museum At L.A. Live.

        Set to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the pair's first theatrical film, 1978's Up In Smoke, Cheech & Chong: Still Rollin' — Celebrating 40 Years Of Up In Smoke will explore what made the world fall in love with the slow-moving, bleary-eyed and often hungry, but always sharp-witted, antics of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong — who are considered among the first-ever purely countercultural standup comics.

        "Cheech & Chong are arguably the quintessential comedy duo of the hippie generation," said GRAMMY Museum Executive Director Scott Goldman in a statement announcing the new exhibit. "Individually, they've achieved great success, with Cheech becoming one of the most well-known and respected Chicano entertainers, and Tommy making his mark as an actor, writer, musician, and cannabis rights activist. Together, they became a voice for the counterculture, and to this day their hit film, Up In Smoke, is considered one of the best comedies of all time."

        The exhibit is being curated by GRAMMY-winning producer Lou Adler, who helped discover the duo, produced many of their albums and directed Up In Smoke. Items on display will include the original marked-up script from the film, the master tape for the soundtrack album, comedy sketches, an assortment of limited-edition 40th-anniversary smoking devices, and selections from Marin's "Blazing Chicano Guitars" guitar-art collection, and more.

        Cheech & Chong: Still Rollin' — Celebrating 40 Years Of Up In Smoke will open on (surprise!) April 20, and will remain on display through 2019.  Several days prior to the event opening, Marin and Chong will join Goldman on April 17 for an intimate sold-out Q&A session. The exhibit is the fourth in the Museum's comedy series, which has previously honored the careers of GRAMMY-winning entertainers George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, and Joan Rivers.
