Many tracks featured in this series made a great impact, but rarely do they qualify as being the first to do something. This month, one track did: English power-pop band Koopa’s 2007 song Blag Steal & Borrow was the first to make the UK top 40 on strength of digital downloads alone in January 2007, following a change in rules the week before that made all legally downloaded singles chart-eligible. They did so without a record label, also a first (that is, even without a self-release label). So one could add this to the Any Major Firsts mix.
A quick reminder that all In Memoriams going back to January 2017 are back up. You can find them HERE!
The Rasper
She had one of the most instantly recognisable voices in pop music — thanks to a surgery and disobeying her doctor. Bonnie Tyler, born as Gaynor Hopkins in Wales, was singing in local clubs before she won a talent contest in 1969. She adopted the stage name Bonnie Tyler soon afterwards.
After surgery on her vocal chords, Tyler ignored doctor’s orders not to speak for several weeks — and thus she was left her with her trademark gravelly voice.
Tyler’s breakthrough came in late 1976 with Lost in France. In early 1978 she had a huge hit with It’s A Heartache, which topped the charts in several countries and reached the top 5 in both the UK and the United States.
For a few years after that, things became quiet until she teamed up with producer Jim Steinman. Their first collaboration, the wonderfully overblown Total Eclipse Of The Heart, became a worldwide mega hit 1983, helped along by the most inexplicable video (which inspired this “literal video” masterpiece).
In 1984 she had a hit with a duet with Shakin’ Stevens, the amiable but inessential A Rockin’ Good Way. The same year she reunited with Steinman for Holding Out For A Hero, featured in the 1984 film Footloose, another 1980s pop classic. The Steinman-produced follow-up Loving You’s A Dirty Job But Somebody’s Gotta Do It, with Todd Rundgren on guest vocals, deserved a little better than flopping badly. Steinman also produced her on 1986’s If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man), a terrible 1980s production that was a hit in Europe but flopped in the UK and the US. It was later repurposed as You Give Love A Bad Name by Bon Jovi.
Tyler continued recording and touring, but never resumed chart success. She represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013 with Believe In Me. She was awarded an MBE in 2022 for services to music. By all accounts, she was a most lovely, grounded person.
The Sax Legend
Chances are that at some point in your life, you have whistled the saxophone lines of Plas Johnson, who has died at the age of 94. When Henry Mancini wrote The Theme Of The Pink Panther, he had his long-time collaborator Johnson in mind for that instantly recognisable tenor sax lead. It has become one of the best-known saxophone recordings ever made.
Born Eugene Johnson in 1931 in Louisiana, he was nicknamed Plas as a child. Raised in a musical family, he moved with them to Los Angeles, where his older brother, Ray Johnson, was a saxophonist piano player.
Starting out as a jazz musician, Johnson released several records under his own name in the late 1950s and early 1960s, while also backing the likes of Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald (on several of her “Songbook” albums), Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin, as well as acts like The Coasters, Sam Cooke and The Drifters.
By the early 1960s he was in the circle of session musicians who would become known as The Wrecking Crew, though he stood out among them as his name was already fairly well-known. Johnson played on many of the Phil Spector productions and some other Wrecking Crew sessions — record-keeping of who played on what were poor — and also played on countless film and TV scores.
The list of artists he backed over a 40-year career is endless. He played on The Beach Boys’ Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made For Walking, and, it seems, on Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. He also played the gorgeous flute on Nicolette Larson’s Lotta Time.
Johnson appeared on Steely Dan’s Pretzel Logic, The Royal Scam and Aja albums, but rather as part of horn sections than as a soloist.
Johnson died a couple of days after I finalised the Any Major Albums Of 1976. He played on four of the featured albums: by Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs (on the featured track, What Can I Say), Rod Stewart, and Deniece Williams.
The Girl Power Pioneer
The Chantels were a pioneering group of the golden age of girl groups, paving the way for acts like The Shirelles, The Cookies, The Ronettes, The Crystals and many others, and by extension of Motown girl groups such as the Marvelettes, Velvelettes, Vandellas and ultimately Supremes. The leader of The Chantels was Arlene Smith, their lead singer and principal songwriter.
Born in 1941 in New York City, Smith grew up in the Bronx, where she and classmates — Sonia Goring, Jackie Landry, Rene Minus and Lois Harris — sang in the choir of St Anthony of Padua School, where they were also taught he intricate harmonies of Gregorian Chant. Formed in the mid-1950s, The Chantels — the moniker was inspired by a rival school named after the Catholic saint Frances de Chantal — soon became one of the first successful black female vocal groups of the rock & roll era.
Their breakthrough came in 1957 with Maybe, a ballad written (probably with the help of mentor and producer Richard Barrett) and sung by the teenage Smith. It became one of the defining recordings of 1950s doo-wop. The group followed up with hits such as Every Night (I Pray), I Love You So and Look In My Eyes. In 2002, Rolling Stone ranked Maybe at #199 in their Top 500 pop sings of all time.
Unusually for their time, Smith wrote much of the group’s early material, although she did not always receive the songwriting credit or royalties she deserved — sadly, a common story in the 1950s. On some records, label boss George Goldner (an associate of the notorious Morris Levy) claimed the credit. More recently, Smith’s role as the creative force behind The Chantels’ classics has become increasingly recognised.
After leaving The Chantels in 1959, the same time Goldner’s label went bust, Smith pursued a solo career, recording for several labels, with the young Phil Spector among her producers, but she never repeated the commercial success of The Chantels. She later reunited with various line-ups of The Chantels for concerts and released one further single in 1970.
The Hit Busker
One of the remarkable things about the wonderful 1991 film The Commitments is that the actors were chosen largely because they could sing or play their instruments, rather than as established actors. One of them was guitarist Glen Hansard, who has died at 56 in a motorbike accident.
Hansard played Outspan Foster, the quiet guitarist in Alan Parker’s acclaimed adaptation of Roddy Doyle’s novel. Already fronting his band The Frames, Hansard would become one of Ireland’s most respected singer-songwriters.
Born in Dublin in 1970, Hansard left school at 13 and began busking on the city’s streets. After meeting fellow buskers who were Hare Krishnas, he joined their religion. It is as a busker that we meet his character Outspan as he is recruited into The Commitments.
In 1990 Hansard formed the rock band The Frames, which went on to become one of Ireland’s most influential rock bands. They had their biggest commercial success in the 2000s.
Hansard achieved worldwide recognition in 2007 with the independent film Once, in which he starred opposite Czech-Icelandic musician Markéta Irglová. Made on a modest budget, the film became an international hit, and they won an Oscar for Best Original Song for Falling Slowly. The film later inspired the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Once.
His partnership with Irglová — including a slightly controversial two-year romantic relationship that begun when he was 35 and she 17 — continued as the folk duo The Swell Season, while Hansard also established a successful solo career. He also collaborated with people like Bono and Bruce Springsteen, both of whom paid tribute to Hansard after his death.
Hansard was socially engaged. For many years he organised Dublin’s annual Christmas Eve busk on Grafton Street, raising substantial funds for charities serving homeless people. He also supported other social and humanitarian causes.
At Shane MacGowan’s funeral service in December 2023, Hansard sang Fairytale Of New York with Lisa O’Neill, backed by The Pogues.
The Beaky
There is now only one survivor of 1960s hitmakers Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich — drummer Mick. Dave Dee left us in 2009, Dozy in 2015, and Tich in 2024. Now Beaky has died.
Born in 1944 in Salisbury, England, as John Dymond, he was nicknamed Beaky because of his prominent nose, which was probably funnier in the 1960s than it is now.
Formed in Salisbury in the early 1960s, Dave Dee, Dozy et al broke through internationally in 1966 with their theatrical performances, colourful costumes and adventurous productions, including cracking whips in the glorious The Legend of Xanadu. Beaky was the band’s rhythm guitarist (it featured on Any Major Teen Dreams).
The band enjoyed a remarkable run of hit singles, including Hold Tight, Bend It, Hideaway, Save Me, Zabadak, Last Night in Soho, The Legend of Xanadu, and Don Juan, becoming one of the UK’s biggest-selling singles acts of the 1960s.
Following the group’s original break-up in 1969, Beaky remained active in music, performing in later reunions and touring versions of the band. At the time of his death, he was the last original member still performing with an iteration of the band whose line-up includes successors to Dave Dee, Dozy, Mick & Tich, going by those stage names.
The Hit Backing Singer
One of the oddest things in pop music history must be that Stevie Wonder let two session singers sing the first lines of You Are The Sunshine Of My Life, an instant classic. The male voice we hear first is that of Jim Gilstrap, who has died at the age of 79.
Gilstrap is no stranger to this little corner of the Internet. Mostly recently, he featured on Any Major Hits From 1975 Vol. 2 with his hit Swing Your Daddy. He was on Any Major Soul 1975 Vol. 1 (with the superb House Of Strangers), and on Covered With Soul Vol. 9 and Vol. 19 (the Motown edition), while his Put Out The Fire appeared in Any Major Flute Vol. 5.
The Texan began his music career after returning from action in the Vietnam War. He first sang with an easy-listening group called the Doodletown Pipers before joining the soul vocal group The Cultures, whose work backing established artists led him into the world of session work.
Gilstrap’s big break came when he became a member of Stevie Wonder’s backing vocal group, Wonderlove, contributing to the albums Talking Book, Innervisions and Fulfillingness’ First Finale. He also backed acts like at the time.
In 1974 he recorded the theme to the sitcom Good Times, a duet with Blinky Williams. His solo career kicked off with Swing Your Daddy, a UK top 10 hit written by Kenny Nolan. Follow-up singles such as House of Strangers and Put Out the Fire had modest success, and Gilstrap’s solo career fizzled out after just two albums.
But he made a good career as a backing singer. Gilstrap sang on many hits. Among them were Quincy Jones’ Ai No Corrida (among many other Quincy tracks), Boz Scaggs’ Lowdown, Michael Jackson’s Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, George Benson’s Give Me The Night and Love X Love, The Jacksons’ Can You Feel It), Anita Baker’s Sweet Love, Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody and Where Do Broken Hearts Go, Peabo Bryson & Kenny G’s By The Time This Night Is Over (which featured last month in In Memoriam – June 2026), Luther Vandross’ Love The One You’re With, Aretha Franklin’s Freeway Of Love and I Knew You Were Waiting (with George Michael), Jermaine Stewart’s We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off, Stacy Lattisaw’s Jump To The Beat, Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway’s The Closer I Get To You… and those are the hits I could find a credit for!
Gilstrap also backed the likes of Syreeta, Martha Reeves, Peggy Lee, Elkie Brook, Ringo Starr, Neil Diamond, Bill Withers, Jose Feliciano, Brothers Johnson, Boz Scaggs, Roberta Flack, Barbra Streisand, Minnie Riperton, Candi Staton, Olivia Newton-John, Patrice Rushen, Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, Elton John, Kenny Loggins, Narada Michael Walden, James Ingram, DeBarge, Crowded House, Patti LaBelle, Santana, Teddy Pendergrass, Gladys Knight, Aaron Neville, Celine Dion, George Duke, Joe Cocker, Natalie Cole, and many others.
He also backed Rodney Franklin, who died this month (see below), and the Boz Scaggs tracks he appeared on include What Can I Say, on which the above-mentioned Plas Johnson played sax.
The Writing Producer
One of those behind-the-scenes names that only the keen students of production credits notice was that of British-born songwriter and producer Brian Potter, who co-produced such hits as Glen Campbell’s Rhinestone Cowboy, Players’ Baby Come Back, and Don’t Pull Your Love by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds
Born in England, Potter wrote the Small Faces’ debut single, Whatcha Gonna Do About It. He then found global success after teaming up with US-born Dennis Lambert. Among their best-known compositions are Don’t Pull Your Love, the Four Tops’ Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I’ve Got), Keeper Of The Castle and Are You Man Enough, Tavares’ It Only Takes A Minute (later a big hit for Take That), One Tin Soldier by Coven, Ashes To Ashes by The 5th Dimension, Rock And Roll Heaven by the Righteous Brothers, and Campbell’s Country Boy
Potter and Lambert co-produced these, as well as the likes of The Grass Roots, Dusty Springfield, Santana, Cuba Gooding, Evie Sands and Player.
The Mini-drama Writer
Although he never achieved the fame of the artists who recorded his songs, singer and songwriter Joe Melson helped create some of the defining hits of the early 1960s, most notably through his long partnership with Roy Orbison.
Born in 1935 into a family of sharecroppers in Texas, Melson grew up with country, gospel and R&B. After serving in the US Navy, he moved to Nashville and into songwriting at a time when rock & roll was transforming into popular music.
One day he spotted Roy Orbison sitting in a car, trying to write a song. Melson tapped on the window — and a fertile songwriting team was born. With Orbison he wrote mini-dramas that showcased Roy’s soaring voice and emotional intensity such as Only The Lonely, Crying, Blue Bayou, Running Scared, Blue Angel, I’m Hurtin’, and Blue Bird.
Only The Lonely was rejected by both Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers, and so became Orbison’s breakthrough hit. Crying later became a hit for both Don McLean, and Blue Bayou for Linda Ronstadt.
Melson also enjoyed modest success as a recording artist in his own right. His biggest hit was Hey Mr Cupid (written by Boudleaux Bryant), and he continued writing and producing for other performers throughout the 1960s and beyond.
The Groover
One of those instantly uplifting jazz fusion numbers is the appropriately-titled The Groove from 1980, whose creator, the jazz pianist Rodney Franklin, has died at age 68.
As a teenager, Franklin attended the prestigious Berkeley High School, whose music programme has produced many distinguished jazz musicians. At the age of 14, he led his own band, In One Piece, and he was only 20 when he released his debut album in 1978.
Franklin was only 21 or 22 when he wrote and recorded that The Groove, a true fusion classic and a Top 10 hit in the UK which started a dance craze there called “The Freeze”.
Franklin had a solid fan base, but further crossover success eluded him. He also backed several acts, including the Isley Brothers on their 1993 live album.
The Guitar Virtuoso
One of the most respected guitarists in the jazz-rock fusion movement of the 1970s, Ray Gómez had a dazzling technique and an ability to move effortlessly between jazz, rock, blues and Latin music. Yet, his best-known contribution is as member of the Spanish group Pop-Tops, who recorded the first version of the global hit Mamy Blue.
Born in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1953, Gómez’s family moved to Spain in 1965. A guitar prodigy, he soon became one of the country’s leading young musicians, performing with pop and rock groups including Los Pekenikes and the Pop-Tops before relocating first to the UK, where he met George Harrison, and then to the United States in the mid-1970s, where he became friends with John Lennon.
There Gómez’s big breakthrough came when he joined bassist Stanley Clarke’s band, playing on the seminal School Days (including superb guitar work on the title track) and other Clarke albums. He also worked with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Cat Stevens, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, Jack DeJohnette, Narada Michael Walden, Alphonso Johnson, Billy Cobham, Hall & Oates, Melba Moore, Deodato, and many others. And, a recurring theme this month, he also played with the aforementioned Rodney Franklin.
As a bandleader, Gómez also released several solo albums.
