Milwaukee's Pop, Soul & Rock 'N Roll

SAMANTHA SANG’S EMOTION

EVERYTHING The Bee Gees touched in the late 70s was pure gold, including this song Barry and Robin Gibb wrote and then did backing vocals on for their fellow Aussie Samantha Sang. "Emotion" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and is one of the best in the Bee Gees catalog even if they ended up not singing it (sort of) themselves.

THE BETTER COCKER? JOE OR JOHN?

On Saturday, October 2, 1976, Joe Cocker was the musical guest on SNL. He came out to perform his hit rendition of Traffic‘s “Feelin’ Alright”. However, for this performance, the television audience got not one Cocker, but two, as an identically dressed John Belushi came out with Joe Cocker for the full live performance. Legendary... awesome... and hilarious.
