His solo performances have all the energy of Michael Jackson in "Billy Jean"

Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Mar 2023 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - Original Brit Pop (2008) | Returning to this I tried again on YT, and there I found Eric Burdon performing his track live in Germany in 2008. The comments credit the band as Hilton Valentine - guitar, Red Young - keyboards, Billy Watts - guitar, Paula O'Rourke - bass, Tony Braunagel - drums. This is slightly at variance with the dates given in his Wikipedia entry but is clearly the same band.

Juke Jules SUBS 12th Mar 2023 | | CD AlbumBrian Doerksen - Today (2004) | Brian Doerksen is a Canadian Christian singer; his records have appeared on the USA Integrity label, but this British release is licenced to "Hosannah! Music" with an Eastbourne address. This seems to be the case for several Christian worship singers, such as Mal Pope.
Pope is a fine singer; the later generation of C.C.M. singers are often more devout than accomplished, leaving me wishing they would seek some advice on breath control.

I presume that this was a legit compilation promoting downloads of mobile ringtones, but the download instructions are missing - too bad. What ringtone would you have on your phone?

Juke Jules SUBS 9th Jul 2022 | | CD AlbumSimon Mayor And Hilary James - When Summer Comes Again (2021) | ReviewProduced during the lockdown of 2020 and 2021, Simon and Hilary's new studio album - with a couple of live tracks for good measure - is a mix of English folk song, settings of English poetry, original instrumentals and poetry, all spiced with a little Tchaikovsky and JC Bach.
This album is also available as a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD.
(From the Acoustic Records website)
The artists are new to me, but they have a Wikipedia page each, showing that they have been working for 45 years as multi-instrument players, vocalists, authors and artists. Their style is eclectic and based on the contemporary folk style, with rich production and multi-tracking.
They also have the website mayorandjames.com
