Joan is still with us 73? ...Any fan of guitar based music of any genre of the 70s /80s has huge respect for Joan , if the 50's and 60s had immortal Blues Guitarists like Bo Diddley , Muddy Waters , BB King and Rock n Roll legends like Little Richard and Chuck Berry and late 60s early 70s Progressive Rock developing into early Metal Jimi Hendrix , all trail blazers and influental musicians .Then add Joan Armatrading to that list ; born in St Kitts & Nevis in the Caribbean , and lived in Birmingham , England from the age of 7 , a music critic said of the 3rd album that contained " LOVE AND AFFECTION" .....""Often Unrecognised as she is we need Joan Armatrading like we need Bob Dylan and the Beatles. You'll play this record once in a while , forever.! " Armatrading possesses the vocal range of a contralto. Her music draws on a wide range of influences including rock, folk, jazz, blues, soul, and reggae.....(Ive performed a 70s / 80s Disco gig every friday for the past 16 years , Joan Armatrading gets requested and played from time to time and the affect is " I love this" and people stop and listen to Joan and nod approvingly actually out of overwhelming respect ) ....Armatrading performs on both six- and twelve-string acoustic and electric guitars. She has played on Ovation acoustic instruments since 1973, and said this about them in an interview with the magazine Guitar Player: "I'm a bit of a hitter, you see - I bash - and I like to have everything going at once: bass, harmony, and melody. This is why I love Ovations. They are very powerful-sounding guitars, and when I hit those strings, they ring with a nice, clear, percussive - but not overly bright - sound that highlights the rhythms I like to play."...100% LEGEND , a role model and influential for every Female Solo Guitarist since ..Her 2007 album Into the Blues debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard Blues Chart, making Armatrading the first UK female artist to earn that distinction. Into the Blues, which Armatrading called "the CD I've been promising myself to write for a long time", was nominated for a Grammy Award, also making her the first female UK artist to be nominated in the Grammy Blues category.. One of the most accomplished female singer-songwriters of the late 1970s-early 1980s who never quite got the attention she deserved. She was Tracy Chapman a decade before the world had ever heard of Tracy Chapman . Joan says ; "In the 1970s black women weren’t supposed to play rock guitars. They were supposed to be soul or disco singers and sing about staying up all night dancing." The music industry didn’t know how to market the singer with a mini afro who wore no make-up and dressed in androgynous clothes. In America, her music was deemed too “white” for a black singer. " “I heard somebody say once I was way too black,” . “And then someone answers she’s not black enough for me.” .,,In 1974, Joan Armatrading set out her musical philosophy when she told Spare Rib magazine: “Black women don’t sing sweet because they haven’t been brainwashed so much into thinking they’ve got to be weak. The opposite, they’ve got to be strong. So, they just get on with it.”. Joan was a musical revoluntionary and a enigma , but shes also a very private person . "People who like my music have a legitimate interest in me, but I need to retain some privacy, not to be telling people what's going on, or what I feel. When you go home, the reason it's beautiful is because it's personal to you and the people you want to include in it.". On her song writing “As a singer and songwriter, I think about the emotions of people and the feelings they have for each other, and how they affect each other,” she said. “That’s what I’m good at. “I don’t necessarily feel I can write overtly political songs. I have my views and I’m quite definite about the things I care about, but I leave [topical songwriting] to the people who are very good at it.” “I don’t see very often people saying, ‘I was influenced by Joan’, but I certainly hear it,” she once said. “Sometimes I think, ‘My goodness, it’s one of my songs with different words’.” those influenced by Joan ,The list of citations also includes Dave Matthews, Sade, Ben Harper, Paula Cole, Des’ree, Toni Childs, Tanita Tikaram, Cyndi Lauper and Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes. Artists like Fiona Apple, Minnie Birch, Le Tigre, Bono (he sang part of ‘Love And Affection’ during U2’s Joshua Tree tour in 2019), Melissa Etheridge (she has performed ‘The Weakness in Me’ at her shows) and Tracy Chapman have cited her as an influence. Indeed, the latter was once called “the new Joan Armatrading”. *Joan Armatrading performed the title theme song " Flight Of The Wild Geese " for the 1978 film 'The Wild Geese'. a All Star Cast, Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and Hardy Kruger, plus a host of other British actors. *Drop The Pilot · Joan Armatrading , Joans last chart entry to date : ℗ An A&M Records Release; ℗ 1983 UMG Recordings, Inc. The old Joan Armatrading, at 73 ... years of age, is doing just fine.

Brother you have a totally awesome perspective man you make the world decent. This title is regarding how much of kill em all was Daves. You know resentment isnt a good motivation but Dave made it shine bright. He smashed mho Metallica. In writing and structure and ability Metalica is way better than I will ever be but Dave really had a purpose in life and be better I think he achieved it.

I’m 71 and in my 20s through my 30s I partied seemingly every night, always danced in my high heels, during the finest decades, the 1960s - 1970s, in music. When the Gap Band came on in the clubs, the dance floor was packed and we all were just having so much fun! Great reaction and the satin cowboy outfits are fine for me but just wish Charlie would have not worn the hat, especially tied under his chin😏

Tracy Chapman. Armatrading-lite. Don’t begrudge Chapmans success but JA never got the credit for being the originator of her sound. Glad you picked up on the similarities.

The original bassist is Brian Marshall. The original group members are Scott Stapp, Brian Marshall, Scott Phillips and Mark Tremonti. The bassist did leave the group and substitute bassist were brought into the group. Mark, Flip and Brian formed Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy. Scott Stapp and Mark have also had successful solo careers. CREED (all of the originals) has reunited and are doing 2 cruise music festivals in April 2024 called Summer of ‘99 and a North American tour. I will be on the first cruise in April and will be meeting the band. (I am beyond excited!!). For Christmas I asked my kids for tickets to their show July 26th in Gainesville, VA. I have seen them 5 times and taken both of my children to see them as well. I never understood all the hate towards Creed but there are new fans that have found them and love them. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for doing this reaction for me. I am down for any other Creed reactions you do - My Own Prison, Bullets, Rain. Full Circle, What If, One, My Sacrifice, Torn. Also, Mark Tremonti is a beast!!
