Listening to tunes my parents played when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's🥰

A special treat for me, never heard this before.
Steely Dan did a track called "Show Biz Kids", the whole track was built on a two-bar loop. First (and last, thankfully) time they ever tried this. Very boring from a chord standpoint (something us Dan-heads live for).
Rickie Lee Jones covered it here. Her first two albums (where she often did her own backup vox, so her singing quirks were matched throughout, magic!) are two of my favorites, I started losing interest in her later output.
Here she covers Show Biz Kids in an intimate club with a very tasty band (if it was my first listening of her I'd not be so impressed). If you're watching on a screen with HDR, it was shot that way and really pops!

Internet radio is fun! Hearing tracks I've completely forgotten about, here's Focus doing Sylvia, love that unusual bass walkup at the end of the chorus (I think I actually have this on vinyl):
Listening to some good rock tonight...Can anyone tell me what these bands all have in common?

Very ill at the moment, so I’m listening to Bach’s Mass in F. Seems to be my default thing to listen to when I’m sick.
I love this video... cracks me up that he decided to speed up the vocal track. John Lennon loved this version.
The original single that they released peaked at #2 in the UK, and as I'm sure most of you know, the backside of that single included the live version from a Wings concert in Glasgow, Scotland. The live version hit #1 in both the UK and the USA. While it came from not my favorite McCartney solo LP I still give it a listen every so often. There are some gems on there but not Temporary Secretary, lol.
Live from Glasgow:

All from Australia but that is too easy. Perhaps you are looking for something else.
Nope! It was meant to be easy.😊
Good to see you today. I hope the new year is treating you and your family well.

I had my Brad Mehldau imitation phase about 3 years ago, but I always keep coming back to this:
EweTube just served this one up, Gino Vanelli:
I didn't even know he was still alive, much less still releasing music; my first vinyl from him was a Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs audiophile pressing, way back from 1980 or so:
