I'm a 64 year old guy who grew up through the Glam Rock era. With your help I hope we can enjoy some memories from the 60's, 70's & 80's. To hopefully avoid copyright infringement, the songs will be covered by original & tribute acts. I look forward to any suggestions you may have.

    Carl Carlton story should be told he was a teen idol in Detroit in the 1970s. He did not want to leave the hood or our high school. Eventually he went to California and really became successful. Very humble, nice superb Star in my high school. They still play his hit songs bad mama jama, everlasting love and others.

    Ian Anderson has never stopped touring or recording music and continues to play the music of Jethro Tull, but for the past 20 years it has been under his solo name. The Zealot Gene, Anderson's latest release, is the first album under the Jethro Tull brand in two decades and it may be one of his best.

    "A Spaceman Came Travelling" is a song by Chris de Burgh. It first appeared on his second studio album, Spanish Train and Other Stories, which was released in 1975. It has been released numerous times as a single, becoming a popular Christmas song, and has appeared on many festive compilation albums. It was later released in 1986.
