Do you recall the roster Paul McCartney put together for a unit he called Rockestra for the Concert for Kampuchea in'79?I believe it featured Robert Plant,Jimmy Page,and Pete Townsend among other notables."Rockestra Theme" as performed by the band was featured on Wings' 1979 farewell offering "Back to the Egg".And of course,we couldn't have any truly comprehensive discussion of this topic without mentioning the numerous Hall of Fame ceremonial jams that have taken place over the years featuring veritable who's whos of the rock elite.And does anyone still remember Jimmy Page's 1980's project the Firm featuring Bad Company's Paul Rodgers on lead vocals?Wonderful albeit short lived.And then of course it was certainly one of my fondest teenage memories when an entire horde of vocal greats were brought into the studio to belt out "We Are the World" to provide for African hunger.You know what very nearly happened that would have been an indescribably explosive outfit.Before discovering John Bonham through the hiring of Robert Plant as his lead vocalist,Jimmy Page first opted to invite one Mr. Keith Moon into the fold!Of course,this is not to detract from the incomporable Bonzo,but just think of the sort of unexplored textures that may have flavored the formidably iconoclastic Led Zeppelin catalog!Finally,hats off to the marvelous collection of artists assmbled for Roy orbison's "Black and White Night" special I saw on PBS.Springsteen,Elvis Costello and Roy the Boy himself were in tantalizingly precise top form with aid on backing vocals from the sensuously poignant Jennifer Warnes and Hall of Fame songstress Bonnie Raitt. |

Speaking of Mr. Nash.How are you fixed with any of the Hollies' splendid discs,LK?Back in their heyday,the English pop masters actually scored more top twenty hits than the Beatles in their native UK!Of course on the other hand,so didn't Cliff Richard. |
