Whitehouse 827 Posted December 5, 2023 Danny Laine, finally got his Wings. Mull of Kintyre was the first single I owned. Thought of it nothing but a McCartney vehicle but now know he wrote it. In all honesty I loved the b-side even more; Girlschool. So now McCartney becomes another candidate for my 2024 theme list last ones. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't he eligible as the last original Beatles (or The Silver Beetles as they were called) member ever since George Harrison died? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,472 Posted December 12, 2023 Primordial Lovers is a decent album in a Laura Nyro vein, but not particularly commercial then or now. Wasn’t she meant to be ‘difficult’ (woman speaking her mind) like Judee Sill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be for really any reason. Also why the heck did it take this long for Queen Latifah to get one? I thought it would have happened with a friendly push under Obama considering how he seemed to appreciate her work quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spoiler She has just been unmasked on the British Masked Singer. Filmed in October I think. Walked slowly but able to do so and obliviously fit enough back then to fly to London and perform.

Walked slowly but able to do so and obliviously fit enough back then to fly to London and perform. She seems pretty healthy for an 83 year old. Still, hadn't seen her in a wheelchair until recently but upon googling recent pics, she's been using one for a bit now. She still performs, as far as I'm aware, and was making new music just a couple years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
