Various Artists – Forget Him!!! – Don’t Be Fooled By The French Covers – Here Are The Good Versions
Personal compilation, in reaction to all the idiot fuss that’s being made in France about a French “singer” who died accidentally decades ago. I just can’t stand this guy. I can’t help it. I hate him and his irritating voice, his behaviour, his looks, his stupid clothes, the way he ridiculously jumps and dances around on stage. He based his “carreer” on French covers of more than 200 English and American pop hits. I can’t even mention his name without grapping green and red pimples on my face.
So, in a desperate move to try to exorcise all this from me, I made this compilation of (mostly) original versions of 60 US and UK hits that he ruined in French.

Tighten Up Volume 1 (Deluxe Edition)
https://www.discogs.com/release/4462069-Various-Tighten-Up-Volume-1
The now classic Tighten Up was originally a thrown together collection racked in Woolworths and similar stores in 1969. It sold in large quantities and spurned seven more volumes.
The emphasis is on soulful Rocksteady with a few pacier r'n'b inflected ska tunes thrown in for good measure. A good number of the songs are covers of familiar soul/pop tunes obviously squarely aimed at initiating UK audiences of the times into the sounds of JA. I've got the original vinyl (charity shop buy circa 1991 - £1 - bargain!!) the current CD re-issue adds a whole CD of bonus tracks - which can't be bad.
A long way from the best compilation of this sort of stuff but there are few better records to soundtrack a summer's day.
There's also proof that 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da' is an absolute dog of a song even when performed by musicians who actually have the timing to play on the off-beat. -blowout

Here's another of my own Plays Richard Rodgers compilations, this one featuring jazz pianist Dick Hyman (born 1927). You may have heard him in Woody Allen films, such as Stardust Memories, Purple Rose Of Cairo, Hannah & Her Sisters, or Bullets Over Broadway. I posted a couple of his albums on September 20 and a couple more yesterday.
I've got too many albums called Plays Richard Rodgers or Plays Rodgers & Hart or Sings Rodgers & Hart, and even putting the artist's name into the title wouldn't sufficiently distinguish this from the two officially-released albums of Dick Hyman Plays Variations On Richard Rodgers. So I had to give this one a real title. Not A New Sensation is a quotation from one of my favorite Richard Rodgers verses. (Hyman is usually good about playing the verse and not just the chorus.) And it seems appropriate, given that the performances here span a 63-year period. (Too bad that, in the one vocal track on this compilation, vocalist Heather Masse sings an alternate version of the line in question, one of several cleaned up for 1940 radio and records and still widely sung seven decades later.)
Hyman plays organ on three tracks, piano on the rest. There are solo piano performances, duets (two pianos; organ and piano; piano and vocal), trios (piano, bass, drums; piano, guitar, bass), and combos with four or more musicians (playing instruments such as trumpet, violin, clarinet, or vibes). I've limited the main album to one performance per song (fifteen by Rodgers & Hart, four by Rodgers & Hammerstein, one by Rodgers & Himself). But I'm also posting some outtakes: six more performances of four of the same Rodgers & Hart songs, with different instrumentation. Nothing comes from the four albums I've shared before.
The first two tracks on the compilation come from an early Dick Hyman single that brilliantly pairs a 1937 Rodgers & Hart song with a 1947 Rodgers & Hammerstein song: The Lady Is A Tramp/The Gentleman Is A Dope.

Thanks to The Masaccio of Gonzo for the Guralnick - Sweet Soul Music
Btw, Anyone interested in reading an Elvis bio Should pick up these two Guranick books. I've read at the very least a dozen Elvis bios and these are the only ones that matter.
Thanks again,

Nicely, Captain. Thanks bundles for the Kawabata Makoto.
VA - I Hate CD's: Norton Records 45 RPM Singles Collection, Vol. 1 on Foggy Notion - there is a wrong link !
I, too, agree he was over-the-top. I hope you don't feel the same about Richard Anthony (my personal favorite). To be fair, most French artists of the 60s exploited UK and US music at the time.
Rick
Totally agree on those Guralnick Elvis bios. They're well written and researched and the only ones you need. Guralnick is a great music writer in general. I've read all his books and recommend any and all of them.
Thanks, philo!
@SuperSound another great share, not seen this in years, you are the king of Reggae homie!
Thanks for the Sax Jazz.
AndyRock66 - Pearl Handle Band was recently posted at Plan and Fancy: https://therockasteria.blogspot.com/2025/01/pearl-handle-band-pearl-handle-1980-82.html
Much appreciated. Gospel was the breeding ground for many of the great soul and funk singers and the recordings of brilliant yet obscure groups you've shared speak to the overall quality found in this genre.
