on several occasions i have found myself following link after related link on youtube following historical records of artists i know now, mesmerized by how they are at once so very different from how i know them now and at the same time i can see the essence of what they will become.i find myself searching to trace the transition to the present. other times i run into artists i have never known but wish i had.
the example linked above is an early genesis video with both peter gabriel and phil collins. both look so young! the music is really out there and i can only imagine how it made sense in the context of the seventies.
other interesting and similar threads to search include: steve winwood, ray charles, eric clapton, stevie wonder, eric burdon, alan price, james hunter, glenn miller, gene krupa
