Remembering the 1939 birthday of Jay Black, whose incredible voice guided his group the Americans to a slew of Top 10 hits. I saw him late in his life and he could still belt them out check out Cara Mia Wow!👏🏻🎶❤️ youtu.be/zKp7Xf8OGX8?...

Jay Black (and the Americans) This magic moment

I'm only 52 but I love Jay and the Americans. Jay Black had a great voice.

he's saying that billionaires are in a class war against the poor and they're winning because Jay-Z, a billionaire, is on their side, and in particular keeping black americans from revolution

And I just realized that I called Judy Collins “joni” in my earlier post- that was an unintentional ‘typo’ that was actually a mistake, not a ‘typo’. Please forgive me Judy!

She really WAS (IS)! Among the top female singers who originated in the 60’s, she’s still at the top. The late Jay Black (of Jay and the Americans) was the male most deserving of the nickname “the Voice”. Joni is the female version of that honor.

... class consciousness, there's always a bunch of African Americans, especially Black women, coming out "strong" to defend rich people like Beyonce and Rihanna. And it's not just Black women, you also see the way Black men defend the likes of Jay-z, LeBron James, etc. It's so dystopian, to see!

"The group that should be in the streets has been bought off by Jay-Z" is just bad, racist stereotyping, plus also wrong given that the most widespread and significant protests for the rest of the decade were led by Black Americans

Olivia Harrison had also told Lindsey after George's death that George wanted Lindsey to replace Roy Orbison in The Traveling Wilburys after Roy had passed away. Lindsey has said he felt honored, but doesn't know why he wasn't asked in the end. So, who knows if he would have accepted it or not.

On this day in 1989, Lucky, Lefty, Nelson, Otis and Charlie T, Jr Wilbury released their debut album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. They were really George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.

Amazing to think all the members of the Traveling Wilburys were in their late teens when they formed the band. (Except Roy Orbison who was 87 & had sung for Doughboys in the Great War).

the Traveling Wilburys are funny because you have Bob Dylan and Tom Petty (RIP) immediately follow Roy Orbison of all people on a song

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge 🎶 This is one of my favorite albums ever: The Traveling Wilburys - Volume 1 (1988) I love every one of the songs on it but here are my rankings of them from #10 to #1: 5. Not Alone Any More This one features great lead vocals by Roy Orbison! 😎 #MusicSky #80s

Remembering Roy Orbison on the anniversary of his passing in 1988 at the age of 52, from a heart attack. His last and arguably most important contribution to the music world was becoming a member of The Traveling Wilburys in 1987. Handle Me With Care youtu.be/1o4s1KVJaVA

Christ… it’s almost 40 years since Roy Orbison died… and the same since The Traveling Wilburys….🫤 Fuck, I’m old.

reading that 1989's "You Got It" was co-written/produced by fellow Wilburys guys Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty (George Harrison also sings/plays on it) and realizing, oh, that's why it sounds exactly like that never really listened to Traveling Wilburys but now suspect i'd probably find those albums fun

Roy Orbison “Greatest Hits” 1962 Monument Sparse Dylan on JWH left a lot of holes. So, I needed the only actual singer in the Traveling Wilburys to simultaneously chill me out and restore my faith and humanity. #NowSpinning #Vinyl

Ooh good to know Lisa, maybe I can do a whole series of those songs then?!? Roy Orbison- yes , what a voice. And The Travelling Wilburys too..

The Traveling Wilburys - Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, George Harrison, and Roy Orbison. Petty said they were all in awe of Roy Orbison.. #music

The Wilburys really did find the perfect formula: surround Roy Orbison with shooters and let him work

Look at Bob Dylan’s face. He was my age!!

"End of the Line" is a song by the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison sing the choruses in turn, while Tom Petty sings the verses. Bob Dylan, part of the troupe, was not involved in this recording. #EndOfTheLine #TravelingWilburys #Chords #Lyrics

Having turned 50 recently, I'm now older than all of the Wilburys but Orbison, and even there, it's close. Not great Bob (& Tom & George & Jeff & Roy.)

That was in response to?....huge Wilburys fan here...grew up near where Roy is from...they still have "Roy Orbison Day" there...Wink, TX...end of the earth basically. Roy was SO GREAT...WHAT A VOICE. Tragic life in many ways.

The Roy Orbison bit in Handle with Care by The Travelling Wilburys always gets me.

Just watching the last episode of the Beatles anthology and apparently there was a real possibility of the Travelling Wilburys getting permission to use Elvis recordings on a post Roy Orbison record. That could have been some album.

trying not to think about how old the Travelling Wilburys were when they got together

in the original manga version of the traveling wilburys roy orbison has magic powers controlled by the phases of the moon

Roy and George long before The Traveling Wilburys...

Surprise, surprise

According to reports, ICE is kidnapping girls taking them to hotels and motels then raping them. Document Everything and save.

Greenlanders & what they want matter as much to MAGA as the Palestinians & what they want matters to the genocidal psychos occupying their country.

Shocking! … said no one

Or Epstein’s alive & running this operation!

Ask what they’ve done with the children they separated from their families at detention centers

George Washington Carver developed 300 derivative products from peanuts among them cheese, milk, coffee, flour, ink, dyes, plastics, wood stains, soap, linoleum, medicinal oils and cosmetics... #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory

Who'd have ever thought that?

Of course.

This is why electrification means more energy security: In 2024, ~81% of EU electricity came from locally sourced fuels (57% excluding nuclear). Just 19% relied on imported fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are mostly imported. Source @ember-energy.org
