Tim Buckley

[woodelf]

I should know this, but I've forgotten the song. At the end of one of The Monkees tv shows in the 60s, Tim Buckley walked onto the backlot of the set with his guitar, with an announcement "this is Tim Buckley" and he sang his song...but what was it?..."Sing a song for you" maybe...and I bet that tv recording is now on some obscure album, but it's from where I started my famship for Tim Buckley. Sorry this has been a long question. Ta Muchly.

Oops wrong clip, although it is the right song. Looks like someone "appropriated it". However you can read the details here:

I know this is going to make me sound very old but I remember having a few Tim Buckley albums in the 1960s, on the Elektra label.

He was part of what was loosely called "progressive music", separate from "chart" music and generally appealing to "hippies".

This was until that type of music (Pink Floyd, Genesis, Byrds, Dylan etc) became just as big as chart music.

One album from that period I still listen to is Forever Changes by a group called Love, a real classic of an album.

Here is one of the tracks from it
