Remembering Joe Meek / Buddy Holly & Karen Carpenter .

It,s that time of year again when we remember some music Icon's , The first is the legendary 

Joe Meek who was the first independent record producer to do things with music what the big record company's thought unheard of ' Joe with his unique recording engineering broke the music mould and was a pioneer for the music sound he had yet to produce ! His artists were musicians and singers like  Heinz , Glenda Collins,The Honeycombs, The Outlaws, Mike Berry, The Blue Rhondo's, Michael Cox, The Tornado's

and even Tom Jones and many more ! Joe was a soft spoken man who knew what he wanted to hear in a  sound, His skill's were second to none,

His main rival was a man called Curley Clayton who had a studio that he built in Highbury Grove N5 , I myself have seen both studio's, And although the Highbury studio was bigger it lacked the atmosphere that 304 Holloway Rd had, Hence I only went to Curly's once !  Although some people have said that Joe had a bad temper, He was always nice and polite to me!

Long live the Joe Meek memory ! Joe died on the 3rd of Feb 1967 .

And now it is time to remember Buddy Holly who died in a plane crash along with Richie Valence & The Big Bopper,  Buddy Holly was a singer/guitarist that sang some great songs along with the Crickets (his band) he made hits with songs like , Maybe Baby, That'l be the day, True love ways, Peggy Sue and many more, The list goes on & on, Buddy was admired by Joe Meek who loved his music with a passion! Buddy will always be remembered as a music legend, His music will never die !

And finally we remember Karen Carpenter who died on 4th Feb 1983 she was just 33

She lost her battle with Anorexia and died of a massive heart attack, Her velvet smooth voice along with her brother Richard,Sang songs like

Close to you, Sweet sweet smile,Mr postman, Goodbye to love & many more songs, Karen will never be forgotten.

Although these Icons are well missed, We must thank them all for their Legacy that they have left behind , R.I.P our legends !

Presenting Malina Moye Singer / Guitarist ( Fantastic )

Presenting......MALINA MOYE one of the worlds best female guitarists that I have ever heard !

                               Here She Is...
                           MALINA MOYE

Considered one of the top female guitarists in the world, this Funk-Rock Goddess transcends genres and bridges generations of music through her sound.

Biography
Flipping a Fender Stratocaster upside-down, acclaimed singer/songwriter/lefty guitarist Malina Moye fills a void in the entertainment industry. Described as a modern day renaissance woman, she’s a quadruple threat, carving out her own lane in today’s music scene as one of the few artists in history able to straddle both Rock and Soul genres. Moye’s musical narrative boasts an impressive resume that includes making history as the first African-American woman to play the National Anthem on guitar at a professional sporting event, all the way to performing at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tribute concert for music pioneer Chuck Berry. And recently, Malina was praised by Jet Magazine as “the highlight of the evening” after she headlined the largest peace concert on the west coast with Chaka Khan honoring the legendary humanitarian Stevie Wonder.

With an electrifying stage show, Malina delivers an intoxicating fusion of funk, and Rock. Her critically acclaimed LP “Diamonds & Guitars” reached number 35 on Amazon.com and iTunes respectively and a number 50 slot on the Billboard album charts, showcasing an eclectic pallet of music while preserving its mainstream appeal. Abroad and stateside, Moye’s Diamond & Guitars tour served her as an opening act with Robin Thicke, and legendary rock group Journey.

A pioneer among the new generation of lead guitarists, Malina is the first left-handed female player to be included on the legendary Fender Guitars’ impressive roster of endorsees and to also join the critically acclaimed 2012 Experience Hendrix tour. Furthermore, the songstress was featured in the UK documentary “Stratmaster: The Greatest Guitar Story Ever Told,” and Guitar World Magazine dubbed Malina the “female Jimi Hendrix” and “one of the top 10 female guitarists to know.” UK’s Blues and Soul Magazine touted Malina as having “…all the ingredients to shake the modern soul room.”

In addition to being on Sony’s writing team, Moye independently released her first R&B single “Girlfriend” through her WCE Records to great reviews and a number 43 slot on the R&B/Hip-Hop Billboard chart. Then Malina followed-up with her second single “Alone,” which remained on the charts for 32 consecutive weeks. “Alone” peaked at no 9 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts and at number 27 on the hot 100. Rolling stone, Billboard Magazine and some of music’s hottest names have raved that Malina is “a ground-breaking artist who makes indelible impression.”

Malina’s humanitarian efforts include serving as ambassador for HRH Prince Charles’ Prince’s Trust for which she donated her single “Hustler’s Blues” to the Wilberforce 200 compilation CD. The record was one of the fastest selling soul CD’s on iTunes UK with all proceeds going to the Trust and UNICEF.

Cover girl Malina Moye continues to build a brand name globally, appearing in campaigns like Victoria Secret’s “Love Rocks” and shoe chain Steve Madden’s Music amongst other retail powerhouses.

 Malina has a unique sound that I have never before heard played by a female musician , Her musicianship is second to none and I would compare her to the female version of Brian May of Queen, I have a feeling that we will be hearing a lot more from her this year !

Loose Women team knows nothing about music!

Yes here I am having another moan! This time it is about the Loose women on ITV Television in the afternoon, I was appalled when Nadia Sawalha

said that Sir Paul McCartney can't sing after hearing him play with Ringo Star on the Grammy Awards , What a bloody nerve, She obviously has no ear for music ! To top it all, They are having

Danial O'Donnell  (who can't really sing that well) on their show the next day, Surly Sir Paul is better rated than Mr O'Donnell ? Where do they get these sensible (NOT) women from I ask myself ! 
Who ever pics the music for their show must be a bit tone deaf if they think that O'Donnell is better than Sir Paul McCartney ! I used to like watching Loose Women but that stupid comment has put me right off that program !
