What a voice!
We went to a performance last week where one of the musicians played a bass clarinet. Very cool instrument.

Ritenour is the guitarist, correct? Who is the vocalist?Quote:

Correct, and by the looks of things, this must have been recorded in the early 1980s. "Rit" is already 69 years old now, going on 70.Quote:

R.I.P. John Miles (23 April 1949 – 5 December 2021). :(
Never heard of him but that is spectacular stuff. Sort of reminds me of Muse? One of my daughter's favorites.Quote:

I am shocked. Seriously, I am. You are the third person in a row whom I've mentioned his passing to today and who says that they've never heard of him. :belief:Quote:

"Music" was released in 1976, and it went straight to #1 in most countries, and then stayed there for a long time. The song has also regularly been played on the radio ever since it was released, and it has continuously served ─ performed by John Miles himself, with a full symphonic orchestra ─ as the opening anthem for the Night Of The Proms concerts ever since the series took off in 1985.
John Miles was also notable for performing covers from several famous bands, including but not limited to Queen and Led Zeppelin, and for being a sideman for the late Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, and a whole host of other artists. He also did some session work.
The guy was a musical monument, and his song "Music" is the ultimate tribute to music, of all generations and genres.
