SPECIAL GUEST Vol. 2
This edition of SPECIAL GUEST includes some great pairings: David Bowie & Cher, Joe Walsh & Sheryl Crow, Donovan & Crystal Gayle, Kris Kristofferson & Brenda Lee, and Don Henley & Patty Smyth.
And we can’t overlook Kevin Ayers & Sid Barrett, John Cale & Chris Spedding, Carl Perkins & Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr & George Harrison, John Waite & Eddie Van Halen.
Some readers may not know that longtime Pat Benatar guitarist/husband/producer Neil Giraldo produced & played guitar on Rick Springfield’s biggest hit Jessie’s Girl. That’s what landed him in the garage rehearsal space of YouTube sensations Middle Aged Dad Jam Band. Fellow YouTube big shot Daryl Hall is joined by Cee Lo Green for a fantastic version of Daryl’s own I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do).
Nikki Sudden & Captain Sensible teamed up on Iggy’s Kill City for the Greg Shaw tribute album, and were ripe for the cherry-picking. Mick Jagger slums with The Red Devils, & Robert Plant does the same with Lil' Band Of Gold. Country Joe receives an upgrade from The Fish to The Bevis Frond. And my favorite piano pounding shit-kicker Jerry Lee Lewis duets with his cousin Mickey Gilley during a show at Gilley’s!
The cherry on top is the cover art featuring RITA MORENO with ANIMAL (from an appearance on The Muppet Show). Wearing a Halston Dress, 'natch!

ReplyDeleteI’m wondering what’s your choice for the BEST MUSIC VIDEO with a special guest?
Extra credit if you share a link to the video you’re championing. One per customer, please.
I’m a sucker for RONNIE SPECTOR, so I’m gonna go with EDDIE MONEY’s

Cool stuff! I didn't know that Captain Sensible played the guest with Nikki Sudden! That's a damned swell map!
DeleteWhen David Bowie appeared on SNL in 1979, he brought Klaus Nomi as a backup singer. For the encore (Boys Keep Swinging), David appeared as a shirtless marionette. During the closing guitar solo, there was an EXTRA surprise guest appearance from Little David (popping up above the waistline of his loose puppet trousers). UNCENSORED VIDEO: https://dai.ly/x3r36se
Another special guest, Jimmy Destri Keyboardist of Blondie performed in David Bowie's SNL performance in 1979. You can see him when Bowie performs The Man Who Sold The World.

Well spotted, Zippy! I neglected to credit Joey Arias as Bowie's other backup singer. Joey was dressed in red, and Klaus Nomi was in black.
DeleteNice one, thanks again Stinky. You probably have this one already, but Rockpile joined on stage by Robert Plant for Elvis Presley's "Little Sister" is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteMusic VDO guest: Jools Holland at times joins his guests for performances on Later With Jools, can't think of any outstanding one right now....
