It's amazing how Greg lake can sing, play the guitar, and chew gum, all at the same time! ELP still is one of my favorite rock bands, along with Yes and Genesis.

I liked some of Genesis stuff with early Peter Gabriel, but never could get into Yes. I used to just buy their albums for the fantastic artwork on the covers.

A lot of Yes's album's art was done by Roger Dean, and they were fantastic! I had several posters of his work on my walls when I was a teenager that I scored because I did something nice for a lady who managed a local record store. When she found out that I liked them, she let me have first dibs on them. I gave most of them to a girlfriend who later dumped me, and I never saw them again. Buy that time, the record store had closed, so no more posters for me! If I have the time, which isn't very often, I can listen to Close To The Edge or Tales From Topographic Oceans and get totally oblivious to everything around me. Prog rock at its finest, as far as I'm concerned, that I was introduced to on WORJ-FM out of Winter Park, Florida in the early 1970's.

CAUTION!!! Rant follows:
That is a great performance, but I hate audience pans during videos like this. It's ok, as far as I'm concerned to show the honorees, but that should be the only thing in the video besides the performance. If you want to show the crowd, ok, show the crowd in front of the stage as part of the recording of the performance, and it is also practical to show close up shots of really good looking ladies -
-. BUT THATS IT!!!! Show the band!!End of rant; we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...
In the early part of the movie Rocky (1976), he returns alone to his dingy apartment and turns on his record player. A neat tune caught my ear. It's not on the soundtrack album. I was very surprised to find that it's Kool & The Gang's Summer Madness (1974) and is a period-perfect jazz instrumental, not the sort of funk that I normally associate with Kool & The Gang. Neat how certain tunes just grab your ear and won't let go.

You had me spinning my wheels there! LOVE this song, but I had never heard this instrumental version before. Didn't do boxing movies, either. But I heard this on WTLC while in my 2nd year of college. That jazz show was the best class I had that year. Gotta put that on my "phone".
