Little Joe was my Tipsheet Editor for a while and remains a close friend as well as a very successful publisher, manager and A&R person (Rizzle Kicks, Nizlopi). His nickname comes from Bonanza but nobody on here is old enough to remember that! |

Who the hell is Little Joe? A Red Indian?? A Motown novelty act??? If you're moaning this forum isn't busy enough it's hardly the time to get all cliquish. |

I don't think it's rose tinted glasses Dixie - yes, our memories are fond of those old shows and yes, most of the music in them was crap, but there was far more mass appeal music around and that mass appeal sound went very deep to millions of people, influencing our lives.
These days - and I think this answers my question - it is far easier to make specialist music with far more limited appeal. So those are the hits that get broken, with a huge appeal to many fewer listeners. The only universal hits are those like Gangnam Style and Get Lucky that can't be stopped.
The current music industry, through a combination of lack of hunger, laziness and inability, has far less important an impact on far fewer lives. |
