On That Note - Mamas and Papas

[MeanDean]

Hey, it's another week and another segment on music we call "On That Note." OTN is a weekly music post hosted by @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and myself.

This week the topic is legacy artists. That is, family inter-generational musical successes. For purposes of this post we're limiting it to Parent-child, Grandparent-grandchild, Or Aunt/Uncle-Niece/Nephew. Since there are so many brother acts, sister acts and brother/sister acts we are NOT including them for this one.

Thanks @HFCS for the topic idea we're using this week!!

Please post a cut by both generations when you contribute - thanks.

Repeat artist postings are okay. Please pick different songs if you do that. Thanks

Jimmy Reed/Jimmie Reed Jr.

This is a bit of a stretch as far as 'fame' for the offspring. Jimmy Reed is a well known and prolific Blues legend. His son, Jimmie Reed Jr appears to have had only a single 45 released at which time (1967) it was ignored. I'm not a huge fan of the Northern Soul movement/genre specifically but this one is somewhat legendary to those who are. I do like it but will never own one as it can't be touched on Ebay for under $150.

Billy Ray / Miley Cyrus

Mick Jagger/James Jagger(In the series 'Vinyl' as part of the Nasty Bits)

Frank / Nancy Sinatra

 

[cyclones500]

Bob and Jakob Dylan (The Wallflowers)


Difficult to decide which Zimmerman song to use, so I’ll wing it and use a less-than-6-minute song from one of my favorite Dylan LPs.




For the OTN “Numb3rs” series, I used “6th Avenue Heartache” for The Wallflowers, so I’m going with another one from same album.

Frank and Boots, I mean Nancy....

Edit: I see Rulzz beat me by a couple minutes but I'll leave mine up since it's them singing together.

"And now, in the tradition of Frank and Nancy Sinatra..."



I saw this on TV when it aired on a late Sat night music show (hosted by David Sanborn), probably in the late 80s--and thought, who is this guy and how does get that unearthly sound out of his guitar?
