José Feliciano - Marley Purt Drive

José Feliciano
Marley Purt Drive / Old Turkey Buzzard
RCA 47-9739 (1969)

Born José Montserrate Feliciano García in 1945, José is a Puerto Rican musician know for his many international hits such as his cover of The Doors' "Light My Fire".  He is also known for the many styles of music he has recorded, from Latin to soul, jazz to rock & blues to pop.

This 45 features his rendition of the Bee Gees song that appeared on their 1969 "Odessa" album. The flip side is taken from the soundtrack to the movie "Mckenna's Gold", a 1969 western that starred Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif and Telly Savalas in the lead roles. The song (like the remaining soundtrack) was written by Quincy Jones with lyrics by Freddie Douglas.

This 45 in my collection is the Australian release.

The Animals The Animals Is Here EP Columbia SEG 8374 (1964) An early EP from the original lineup of the band namely vocalist Eric Burdon, guitarist Hilton Valentine, bass guitarist Chas Chandler, keyboardist Alan Price and drummer John Steel.  The group formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during 1962 and 1963 when Burdon joined the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo and they performed as the Alan Price Combo. They later changed their name to the Animals. They were supposedly dubbed "animals" because of their wild stage act, and the name stuck. Known for their gritty, bluesy sound, they balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm-and-blues-oriented album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US. FLAC
