Aretha Franklin
Billy Holiday & Her All-Star Band
Janis Big Brother And The Holden Company
Patti Smith Band
That covers 50% of my Spotify playlists! Great choices.
maybe he means the real milli vanilli singers. weren't they American?
"Patti Smith BAND??"
It's The Patti Smith Group. You'll find that name on her albums starting with her second, Radio Ethiopia, and also on the third and fourth, Easter and Wave.
You'll also see it on the photo of the marquee when she opened for the Stones in '78.

Producer Glyn Johns - Our Glyn Johns? Clarify.Please
Just what the Wiki article says.
Also learned he wrote a book, which would be interesting considering the number and caliber of bands he worked with.

Not only are there more great bands from North America than Great Britain, there is a much wider diversity of music.

Public Enemy and NWA. NWA in particular was the real "punk rock" of the late 80s. Angry, don't-give-a-shit kids railing against everything.

The Heartbreakers. No question about it. Even when Johnny was a little too high they were like a freight train barreling at you. Jerry Nolan was the best rock and roll drummer ever.

Ok How many of yall heard of Junior Walker and the All -Stars?
Circa 1979 we ( brother) were on 5th Street which is a party street next to East Carolina U. Jr Walker and All stars played a Street corner concert on there, which was probably one of the best ever seen. Most people know this band from the song "Shotgun" Attendance? Maybe 500 very happy folks on a great Sunday afternoon..
Also don't forget Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows - a great blues band from Chicago. Caught them in Durham (underground Bar) jam packed. Yes they played "Too much Bar-B-Que circa 1985
You folks, understandably, probably never heard of these great bands - and that's ok.

Not to get OT within thread-
As there are so many groups to choose from - one song I heard recently form the past was Jackie Blue, which is exceptional, but to this day I cannot figure out what the song is about. Group was Ozark Mountain Devils circa late 70 or early 80s???
Is it about a good looking narcissitic Girl?
Is it a girl on speed?
Or just a lyrical song only where words blend?
Or just a Dreamer-
....
According to Wikipedia, the song was originally about a male drug dealer. Producer Glyn Jones suggested they change the character's gender.
