Can't really put into words how much I love this tune. It captures the spirit and the essence of own trips to Hawaii and Beverly Hills/L.A. etc, during the first year of Clinton's presidency - so, the good old days, already! (I'm not from North America.. )DeerStop69 4 months ago

such a jam. was this ever a radio hit? i don't recall ever hearing it on the radio but every time i play it for people they end up singing along and i can't tell if it's a weird thing where the song is just really hooky or if it's legitimately popular and i'm just oblivious

I love Give it up for Love!! I also love Ned's first self titled record. I didn't know his records were so rare until a few years ago. I bought them cheaply back in 03 in Houston,TX at a shop called Black Dog records.

Is Doheny's the original version of that song? I think I've got about four different versions of it, none of them this one.
― groovypanda, Monday, 4 April 2011 08:28 (thirteen years ago) link
doheny's is the original, there's a version by tata vega on motown that was a big deal iirc. that was the first version i heard (it is awesome) but i like both. i forget who did the other big cover of it
― timbo slice (D-40), Monday, 4 April 2011 08:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I've got the Tata Vega one and also ones by Average White Band and Social Disco Club
― groovypanda, Monday, 4 April 2011 08:37 (thirteen years ago) link
the other cover version i have is by The Mob ... as featured on Bill Brewster's "Secret Weapons" cd
― out comes stanley, Monday, 4 April 2011 11:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I knew I had a fourth version! If I remember though there's no tracklisting with that Bill Brewster bonus cd although I think I've identified most of them.

i put ned on my sexy sailor mix a few years back and i also did a list of similar albums that i like that people here might want to check out. i'll post my post here. not ALL appropriate for this thread, but the vibes are somewhat similar in many cases:
Skot's Sexy 70's Mix For Sailors, Searchers, and Seers
Just the tip of the iceberg, but I made a quick list of underheard albums that I go back to again and again for whatever reason. Some apply to this mix/thread, some don’t, but whatever. I’ve also talked a bunch about most of them on ilm or included them on a mix that I’ve posted here. These are all a part of my 70’s non-hard rock rock canon. didn’t include more obvious stuff. In 2009, my holy trinity would probably be ian matthews, michael franks, and poco! Who would have guessed? I used to listen to a lot of crass records. Anyway, for what it’s worth:
Allesi – s/t (a&m – 1976) (probably my favorite brothers of the 70’s. or maybe that title goes to the gurvitz brothers. can’t decide.)curved air – phantasmagoria (wb – 1972) (really, everything by them in the 70’s. like babe ruth. or savage rose.)curtiss maldoon – s/t (capitol – 1971)jackson heights – king progress (mercury – 1970)howard werth & the moonbeams – king brilliant (mca – 1975)vance or towers – s/t (a&m – 1975) gary farr – addressed to the censors of love (atco – 1973)danny o’keefe – breezy stories (atlantic – 1973)string driven thing – the machine that cried (charisma – 1973)east of eden – s/t (harvest – 1971)molkie cole – s/t (janus – 1977)bloomsbury people – s/t (mgm – 1970)redeye – s/t (pentagram – 1970)danny o’keefe – american roulette (wb – 1977) (hell, really everything from the 70’s.)trefethen – am I stupid or am I great?/it’s all mom’s fault (1980) (recorded in the 70’s though.)gallagher & lyle – the last cowboy (a&m – 1974)john randolph marr – s/t (wb – 1970) (also, bubba fowler’s album *and then came bubba*, but I think that might have been 69 or even 68. can’t remember. The marr album is essential for nilsson fans.)country joe mcdonald – hold on it’s coming (vanguard – 1970) (i can’t even begin to describe how much I love this album. it is the end and the beginning of something wonderful. )song – album (mgm – 1970) (essential.)cowboy – s/t (Capricorn – 1977) (again, who am I kidding? I love everything they ever did. Possibly one of the top ten most underrated/underheard major label acts of all time.)boxer – s/t (virgin – 1975)george geddes – obituary (ua – 1971) (but, you know, everyone needs son of obituary from 1972 too.)thomas jefferson kaye – s/t (dunhill – 1973)mckendree spring – s/t (decca – 1969) (oops, 1969. But you can substitute it with *3* or *tracks* from the early 70’s.)facedancers – s/t (paramount – 1972)barnaby bye – room to grow (atlantic – 1973)dane donohue – s/t (Columbia – 1978)tim hardin – painted head (Columbia – 1972) (one of my heroes, and his 70’s stuff doesn’t get near enough praise. And it’s all worth people’s time. )tim hollier – message to a harlequin (imperial – 1968) (1968? but it’s so good. and I can’t find a copy of skysail from 1971 and I can’t afford a copy of his 1970 s/t album which is also awesome.)dave morgan - morgan (ampex – 1971) mick greenwood – living game (mca – 1971)

i should really do an updated list too. heard so much great stuff since then.

there's a pretty great soundtrack to They Call It An Accident. it has a few wally badarou tracks, a few steve winwood instrumentals, a track by marianne faithful from her broken english album, a song by Compass Point All Stars (badarou & sly & robbie). jess roden & peter wood have a track on there called "Some Vision". i guess this is their band?

it's not even close to as good as the actual tata vega or the doheny but it's definitely worthwhile

the best part about beardo/balearic (as mentioned above), but also what adds to the confusion of what it is, is that you can make anything that has a certain vibe fit the genre. like this chill soul tune

surprised no one's mentioned Eden Ahbez, the original Beardo beach bum proto-hippie (he looked like this in the late 40s)
http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu92/damien_stone/edensisland.jpg
album is languid exotica with ambient beach sounds and Eden's spoken word extolling the Nature Boy way of life, the balearic urtext.
also, i passed out to John Martyn's 'Glorious Fool' the other night, the tracks I heard before sleep were gorgeous. don't let the 'Produced by Phil Collins' credit scare you off, it's a sign of quality.
― herbal bert (herb albert), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 14:04 (thirteen years ago) link
^^^^^Yes. The version of "Couldn't love you more" (first track I think) gets nice and balearic if you pitch it up
― Bangelo, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 15:28 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm interested in more sunny soul tunes, this is an obvious one that may or may not have already been mentioned:
