Raymond Allen Liotta was born on Dec. 18, 1954 in Newark. He attended Union High School and graduated from the University of Miami, where he studied acting, in 1978. He worked as a bartender on Broadway before landing the role of nice guy Joey Perrini on Another World, and he worked on the NBC soap from 1978-81.
I was just discovering Yes in the 70's and was a huge Bill Bruford fan, so when I heard he was being replaced by Alan White, who I didn't know at all, I was kind of unhappy.
But I couldn't really argue with the drumming on Relayer. Phenomenal stuff. So I eventually decided he was A-OK.

RIP.
I think Bill Bruford is a lecturer at the University of Michigan. He earned a Ph.D. in music a few years ago. Looking back at this music I think we were just so fortunate to be teenagers when the greatest music was literally being created on a weekly basis.
I grew up in Basildon, I used to know all those guys... I remember on my commute home from London he had bought a new keyboard from the proceeds of an early hit, he was so hyper. I don't remember which hit, I .was never actually a fan (sorry Andy).
(My keyboard also has a French setting so won’t lose the accents, sorry)
Haven't listened to Depeche Mode in ages, but this news got me playing a few of their songs, and I still like them.
I camped out with my sister and our best friend in front of Madison Square Garden to buy tickets to see them in the mid-late 80's. Got 4th row seats, and was thrilled. I snuck my camera in and took some photos. Wonder where those are now...
I was into that stuff in its time - played the hell out of Close to the Edge - and moved on from prog rock art rock or whatever you want to call it. A friend asked me to go see them in the early 2000s. I went with no particular enthusiasm but have to say they were superb.
I always thought this was by Angelo Badalamenti. so beautiful
The music is by Angelo Badalamenti and the instrumental version is used as the opening credits theme for Twin Peaks. David Lynch wrote the lyrics. Such a unique, beautiful singer. Another Twin Peaks song I loved of hers is "The Nightingale."
‘It’s estimated that over a billion people have now seen some version of Hair over the last 50 years.’ And now, a thousand ancient earworms have invaded my brain…
One of my most influential albums as a kid. Pretty sure I can still sing the whole album. I think I still have the vinyl somewhere of the original Broadway cast recording.
