Jose Feliciano

My favorite cover of The Doors " Light My Fire" is by Jose Feliciano. He used to play it on the Glenn Campbell Show and Johnny Carson too. It is so much more romantic and soulful. Tonight I found this great video of Jose, Carlos Santana, and Rick Martin playing together and I just had to post it.

RETROKIMMER: 4 NEW VIDEOS SCOTT MORGAN AND THE RATIONALS

Posted: 23 May 2011 04:19 PM PDT


Kimmer and Scott Morgan

Went over to hang out with Scott today and we got to talking about these 2 songs that I just recently discovered but Scott's many fans already know. One is "Full of Fire" which I posted last week (see that story).

Today the song I ran across is "Hold on Baby". I have two versions of this song. One is the original Rationals "Hold on Baby" and the second is from the 1990's when the Rationals had a reunion. This is my favorite version.

Took a little Australian survey first... My pal down under Stephanie is a big Motor City Music fan and so I sent both versions for her to decide which to put in the video. Luckily we both agreed that the reunion version is more gritty.

Steph said I like this one best - It's gutsier. :)

Here they are.... Will make some more tonight...

Hold on Baby



Full of Fire




Then I came home and ran into 2 more Rats songs that I really love. Feelin Lost (with Iggyand Bob Seger) and Leavin Here. So we made 2 more videos just for fun and the fans dig these photos I have from Scott's Archives.
