I doubt that "Heart on my sleeve" will be included since Gallagher/Lyle made the original on "Breakaway" - the title song of that album covered ny Art Garfunkel. - -- NP Paul Bremer , "We got him" Daniel ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2003 17:35:42 -0500 From: "Arnold Schulberg" Subject: RE: [AVALON] Roxy were Chic - and vice versa On the subject of Chic, I saw in a recent issue of Rolling Stone that Tony Thompson, drummer for Chic and later Power Station, died not too long ago. He'll be missed.

Nile Rogers is very enthusiastic about the formative influence of Ferry and Co. The raised quote at the top of one page reads: "Man, I saw Roxy Music. Phew! Boy, did that ever change my life!" Seems that his early experiences of England are two-fold. Despite being a New Yoiker, he's been robbed three times in his life, twice of those in England. More happily, he and Bernard Edwards were in the mid-70s road band of New York City ("I'm Doing Fine Now") on a UK tour. "We started doing the whole London club scene and while we were out doing that, man, I saw Roxy Music. Phew! Boy, did that ever change my life!" Rodgers returned to the USA with news of Roxy's stage presentation and the concurrent emergence in the USA of Kiss offered the framework for live performance. "The correlation between the theatrics and the anonymity to walk down the street as a regular person but then become Kiss or Roxy Music when you're doing your thing was very compelling to me and Bernard and myself because we didn't see ourselves as stars, we were always back-up musicians. So we thought we could pretend to be stars. And Chic was born." Me...I'm not sure I see the correlation between Roxy and Kiss (or the 70s club scene), but hey! 2004 and favourable comments about Roxy's inspirational approach to live working. Only in a retrospective, huh?
