Stephen Stills is my musical hero. Supremely gifted on acoustic and electric, genius songwriter, (I wrote one with him, so I witnessed it in real time), and that voice. I had the honor and pleasure of singing a live duet with Stephen on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Almost Cut My Hair\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shortly after David Crosby\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s passing \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6a career\/life highlight for me. And Stephen is more at peace now than at any other time our paths have crossed. Good on you for singing Stephen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s praises here. When I release my little memoir, Stephen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s praises will be sung once again, in long form, from the rooftop of my soul, and deservedly so. \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 kc<\/p>\n

Long ago and far away at the beginning of this century, Guy Chambers flew the great drummer Brian McLeod, exemplary guitarist Eric Schermerhorn and me first class to London on Capitol Records\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 dime. Our calling was to record four songs with Tina Turner at his studio in Primrose Hill. Tina and Guy had written the \u00c2\u00a0tunes with the singer from Train. The label put us up at the Ritz Carlton. Those were the days, man\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, Guy told us, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Come to the studio tomorrow. We will track the four tunes to Tina’s guide vocal. She’s still here in London. She will come to the studio the day after and have a listen. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see what happens from there.”\u00c2\u00a0
\nDay two, the four of us were in audio Heaven, tracking to Tina’s guide vocal. It was amazing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 After a really good day in the studio Guy said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stick close tomorrow, who knows what’s going to happen\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Day three I was having lunch in Primrose Hill with an amicable ex girlfriend when my phone rang. Those were the flip phone days. Guy said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Come by the studio.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Five minutes over to Guy’s studio, I walked in the front lounge and there’s Tina Turner with her impeccable husband. The room was vibrant with her presence. It was like that of an Ascended Master’s. She greeted me, saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hello,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to which I replied, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lifetime debt of gratitude, Miss Turner, for your music and your artistry, She replied, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well thank you. Guy is in his control room.”<\/p>\n
I went through the door, Guy said with a smile, \u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stay in here. Tina likes the vibe so much, she wants to track the four songs live with us. Brian and Eric will be here any minute.” Richard Flack, \u00c2\u00a0Guy’s brilliant engineer was placing a packing blanket out in the main room of the studio for Tina to stand on while she sang. That way should could move and groove with no extraneous noise.<\/p>\n
We did the three passes of the four songs, Tina in the room with us, singing live, as if she were at Wembley or Yankee Stadium. Absolute heaven. For all intents and purposes, one of the best, if not the best musical day of my life. The masters remain unreleased, presumably safe, but sadly unheard, languishing gems, collecting dust in the Capitol vaults.<\/p>\n
A few years later Guy let me know that Tina had come to LA by herself without a bodyguard or a personal assistant to pack up her musical director’s condo in West Hollywood. Sadly, he had passed away. As Guy explained it to me, Tina’s actions were part of her Buddhist practice. Tina Turner – impeccable and every way. Simply the Best.<\/p>\n
Peace and Love,

Brian Wilson LOVED Tina Turner more than anyone\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 well more than most he ever spoke about.. . She was a unique talent.. Brian never saw gender or color he only saw TALENT, vibes\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and he hears it all. \u00c2\u00a0He observes.. and he always talked about Tina Turner.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the almost 3 decades I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve worked with him her name has always been present in one way or another.<\/p>\n
As a producer, songwriter and vocalist he loved and respected \u00e2\u20ac\u0153River Deep Mountain High\u00e2\u20ac\u009d .. of course .. Always watching what Phil Spector was putting out he was blown away by that track and talked about it often. But Tina and Ike\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cover of the brilliant John Fogerty.. \u00c2\u00a0Creedence Clearwater song \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Proud Mary\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was a song he was in awe of.. Its still a reoccurrence in his playlist. \u00c2\u00a0To this day he still wants to do another version of it.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
He loved Tina.. her voice, her energy and her spirit.. She was a survivor of abuse just like he was.. Having someone who was supposed to love them.. tell then they were pieces of shit.. unworthy.. Gosh can you imagine? Then succeeding to the point they did\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
One of the last times we were on tour in New York he went to see TINA: The Tina Turner Musical.. He LOVED it!! Was Blown away by it.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I saw him a few weeks ago.. We talked about him going to see some theater and he asked to go see that show again..\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well now he will see it again as a tribute to a woman, artist and colleague that he so admired and respected.<\/p>\n
RIP Tina Turner..Brian Wilson will always love you.<\/p>\n

You reference to Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s “Ella Baila Sola.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d really hit home with me as i recently DJ\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d a ‘Kick Off The Summer Party’ Memorial Day weekend at a local country club here in Denver. Over the course of an hour this is just a small sampling of the requests I received, primarily from 7-17 year olds.<\/p>\n

Great Caesar\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ghost, you wanna talk about eclectic!! We oldsters might want to think that our kids are just slaves to pop music but TikTok and Youtube are completely upending the delivery system for our kids when it comes to every form of entertainment, especially music.<\/p>\n
As someone who works in radio, I appreciate how finite my career is going to be. Ask anyone under the age of 40 how relevant radio or corporate curation is to them and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get blank stares. Ask the same demo if they even have a radio in their home! Hell, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even have a functioning radio in my home and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been in this industry for almost 35 years.<\/p>\n
We oldsters can continue to clutch furiously onto the ways of the past but to denigrate and ignore the impact of social media and word of mouth is to bury your head in the sand.<\/p>\n
I have two teenage boys and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m constantly amazed at the diversity of artists they want to share with me. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dad, you gotta hear this\u00e2\u20ac\u009d has quickly become my new favorite phrase in my house.<\/p>\n
Be well and Go Nuggets!!<\/p>\n

Hi Bob,
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nJust saw your article about Apple using Dreamer in the VisionPro Ad. \u00c2\u00a0I really appreciate it and you made a lot of great points. This is a Roger Hodgson song he wrote before Supertramp. \u00c2\u00a0He brought his demo to the band so they could learn it.\u00c2\u00a0 Wanted you to know that the Dreamer version Apple used is actually from two different rerecordings from Roger Hodgson.\u00c2\u00a0 Apple put together parts from Roger\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s orchestra and band performances and did a really great job.\u00c2\u00a0
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nCould you please post links to his versions of his song and let your readers know that this song is performed by Roger Hodgson? \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not with the band Supertramp.\u00c2\u00a0
