RIP the great Raul Malo. One of the greatest vocalists ever. And a superb musician.

RIP the great Todd Snider

Thanks to Nick Bambach for inviting me on his podcast to talk about the legendary genius, Thom Bell. Bell will be inducted into the Rock Hall this Saturday.

RIP the great Chuck Mangione

RIP the great Ozzy Osbourne news.sky.com/story/ozzy-o...

RIP the great Connie Francis

RIP the great Walter Scott. The Whispers deserve a lot more praise for being one of the great R&B vocal groups. www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip...

Bizarre rankings, snubs & odd inclusions. Should’ve been a top 100. www.billboard.com/lists/best-r...

RIP the great genius Brian Wilson

RIP the great Sly Stone

RIP the great John Edwards. There were 2 living members of the Spinners when they were inducted into the Rock Hall in 2023. Now all 6 have passed away. But the great music they and 2025 Hall inductee Thom Bell made live on. soultracks.com/news-john-ed...

RIP the great Johnny Rodriguez. Definitely belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame www.billboard.com/music/music-...

I had a great time appearing on Nick's podcast (with 3 others) to discuss the 2025 Rock Hall inductees. #rockhall2025

It took longer than it should have, but I'm thrilled that Thom Bell is now in the Rock Hall. Sadly, he passed in 2022. Now we have the 3 architects of the Philly Sound in the Rock Hall: Gamble, Huff & Bell. Gonna spin a Philly Soul playlist in their honor today. #rockhall2025

I’m thrilled that Thom Bell, Warren Zevon and Carol Kaye are getting in.

My personal picks for the 2025 Rock Hall of Fame. #rockhall2025 tomlanesblog.blogspot.com/2025/04/pers...

Born 75 years ago today. The late, great Teddy Pendergrass.

RIP the great Roy Ayers variety.com/2025/music/n...

RIP Joey Molland. Badfinger were a great band. Their back catalog still sounds solid.

RIP the great David Johansen

RIP the great Gene Hackman

RIP the great Chris Jasper. Inducted into the Rock Hall, with the Isley Brothers, in 1992.

RIP the great Roberta Flack. Another name the Rock Hall missed.

RIP the great Jerry Butler. Inducted into the Rock Hall in 1991 (with the Impressions).

I highly recommend the Questlove directed Sly Lives! The ups and downs of the genius Sly Stone.

I had a great time discussing this years 2025 Rock Hall nominees with an all-star cast.

Pathetic, embarrassing. How does this get approved by the nomcom?

Only 4 female nominees. 2 R&B. If you like “Rock” music, this ballot is for you.

Open Your Heart Holiday Borderline Live To Tell Cherish

I was one of the critics who voted in this poll. Here’s my ballot: uproxx.com/critics/tom-...

Yes! Something we Elvis fans can look forward to. deadline.com/video/elvis-...

Who else has yet to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame? Click below for my updated 2025 list: tomlanesblog.blogspot.com/2025/01/not-...

RIP the great Garth Hudson

This is a superb piece by Andy Greene. I still love those Raspberries albums. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

RIP the great Sam Moore

NEW EPISODE! Today would’ve been Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday. To pay tribute to the iconic singer, I invited @tomlanepr.bsky.social to discuss the recent Netflix doc “Return of the King.” Streaming on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

The King was born 90 years ago today. “Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.” Elvis Presley

I had a great time appearing on Nick Bambach’s podcast, along with others, to predict this years 2025 Rock Hall nominees (yes, it’s that time again).

The Luther Vandross doc, Luther:Never Too Much, is superb. Lots of great clips. And just hearing Luther’s magnificent voice again is magic. Highly recommended.

My Top Albums/Songs/Reissues of 2024 tomlanesblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/toms...

Since I’ve been on Spotify, this has been Elvis’ most streamed song. Jailhouse Rock & Suspicious Minds are 2 and 3.

Really enjoyed the HBO Yacht Rock doc. Good interviews and great music. Justice for many artists featured (Loggins, Cross, McDonald and especially Toto).
