One more question comes to my mind: Did later bands like “The Commodores”, “Kool & The Gang” and “Earth, Wind and Fire” take up the tradition of “doo wop” and revive it in a new guise or does that have nothing to do with it at all?
-
Thank you both. Some of the music pieces I know, but could never assign them to a specific music style. Very Interesting.

Hi Will, hi David,
now you have made me curious: I don’t know the term „doo wop“. What exactly is meant by this genre of music? Thanks.

Hi Jung, I’m glad if you like the piece of music. „Chess“ is a musical written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA. The story involves a politically driven, Cold War-era chess tournament between two grandmasters, one American and the other Soviet, and their fight over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other.
Chess was never my great passion, as I never had a real chess partner. I once played it for a short time with a friend. We were both teenagers and we didn’t have the right calmness and composure to enjoy the game at that time. One quick move followed the other and the games were always over pretty quickly. We played a kind of „speed chess“. 🙂
I have already heard about “Queens Gambit”. It sounds interesting.
I can well imagine that playing chess went well with the relaxed ambiance of your Alaskan cruise and I also miss traveling a lot.
An ” A Capella” introduction is also a delightful way to start a song.

Jung, Soft Cell and the 80s. I can think of a lot of interesting intros. This one for example:
-
A music box as an intro. I don’t know which musician originally had this idea, but I like it very much.
-
-
Also a great intro with goosebumps guarantee: „My Sweet Lord“. Unfortunately, this wonderful song then loses some momentum at some point. That was the „bubble gum“ music of the 70s: the longer the better. „Short and crisp“ (kurz und knackig) of the 50s and 60s was history at this point.

Thanks for asking Tom, could be a little more sleep at the moment.

Hi JP, of course I didn’t. I know the early faces of Pink Floyd only from their LP covers. As far as the look of Pink Floyd is concerned, I am quite clueless. I wouldn’t even recognize David Gilmour today if he rang my doorbell and brought me a pizza. Too bad I’ll never get an autograph that way.

Hi Jung, yes “The Scarecrow” is an early song by Pink Floyd from 1967 and was released on the album “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”. It is the only album that was created entirely under the musical direction of former band member and actual founder of Pink Floyd Syd Barrett, who left the band in 1968. I would be interested to know to what extent The Beatles and Pink Floyd influenced each other. The LP Sgt. Pepper also has a psychedelic touch.
