@weymarplanet The best demonstration of the value of trainer Dennis Waight to the team. The steel hamstrings of a top class ballet dancer!

@GenTXer2 Aside from Becker & Fagen, I would say The Band, Randy Newman or Warren Zevon. Also a shout out for Keith Reid’s literate, dark and intriguing lyrics for Procol Harum.

Only people with no loyalty to London's history and long-standing culture would think that the Isle of Dogs would look better in Lego format.

Would you rather go past Lara’s 501 or take 20 in a game to go past Laker?

"New Sensation"peaked at No. 3 in 1988. Can we talk about that sax break? Most rock bands don't have a saxophone hook sitting right in the middle like this. Love it or hate it? Name the band.x.com/calmalgodown/s…

Album of the day. On her stellar 1983 debut album, The Songstress, Anita Baker emerged in an ever-evolving R&B landscape as an original song stylist with an extraordinarily rich, sultry voice that left listeners spellbound. But fans were clamouring for a new album, which would come when she signed onto a major label, Elektra Records. Partly financing the recording herself, she hired ex-Chapter 8 guitarist, Michael J. Powell as producer and surrounded herself with an ace crew of session players to cut her second album, Rapture, which was released 40 years ago today. From the sheen of Baker's soft, cocoa brown skin on the striking cover down to the senuous and precise music within, Rapture was right on time, steeped in the tradition of '70s soul music that Baker greatly admired with affecting, slow-burn minor songs of romantic devotion and earthy longing. The force in what made Rapture a multiplatinum sensation was Baker's singular voice, in which she brought to life love's pleasures and pains. Her conviction in hit classics like "Sweet Love" and "Caught Up in the Rapture" conveyed more than just the happiness of finding love; the Sarah Vaughan-like jazz sensibility in her phrasing dwelled in the esctasy of the emotion. When selecting songs, it's no small wonder Baker chose to cover sweet-voiced songwriter David Lasley's "You Bring Me Joy," which was originally cut in 1980 by Norman Connors and vocalist Ada Dyer, the Dionne Warwick ballad, "No One in the World," and the Rod Temperton-penned "Mystery" (originally cut three years prior by The Manhattan Transfer), as she imbued her lasting grace and flair into them; thus making them definitive show-stoppers to this very day. And how many times have we marveled at Baker's effortless scatting and improvised choruses during fan-favorite "Been So Long," which left a huge impression on the next wave of R&B ladies, including Mary J. Blige (check out "Love No Limit") and Toni Braxton (listen closely to Braxton's sultry phrasing on "Seven Whole Days")? An enduring '80s R&B landmark in every sense.

'Archive Rarities @DerbyshireCCC 1 to 365 in 2026' 79 - His father rarely seems to get a mention these days when discussing the greatest cricketers of all time, but George Headley most definitely fitted into that category. This is Ron, his son, who played for @WorcsCCC between 1958 and 1974 before joining Derbyshire for two seasons. He also played two Tests and one ODI for the West Indies...

@robertmdaws A disappointment! Clodoaldo was a huge loss. Unwisely decided to mix it physically with the Dutch - BIG mistake.

@dgriffinpix @J_Glover13 @DerbyshireCCC @WorcsCCC Was Headley was drafted into the Test side after future Derbyshire signing Lawrence Rowe withdrew citing continuing trouble from the ankle ligaments he tore against Australia the previous winter? Or was it because Steve Camacho got hit in the face by Andy Roberts at Southampton?

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC @WorcsCCC Many memories of watching Ron for Worcestershire in the 1970s Agree totally how George Headley is overlooked as a "great". Sadly, others of previous generations are forgotten too
