The Temptations "Don't Look Back" on The Ed Sullivan Show

#edsullivanshow
#tantetentazioni
From 1948 to 1971, every Sunday night Ed Sullivan hosted the greatest and most famous artists on his show, broadcast on CBS.
About a decade ago, reissued in 12 DVDs, an Italian newspaper published the best performances. I'm sharing them again; there are truly wonderful things.

“MitiC64”

The C64 left the scene years ago. But its spirit is alive and well. Just think of the incredibly active communities of enthusiasts, who still propose new exciting VGs, and much more. This "age-old" column will showcase memorable VGs, deemed "indisputably" by yours truly as classics. Ready? No? How not! “Journey to the Centre of Earth” was released in '84 by Ozisoft. The goal is to retrieve treasures from the depths of the earth and bring them back to the surface. It seems easy but it’s not. The character is agile, can jump, climb walls, and grab onto ledges, but can also fall if the height is too great.
Traps, puzzles, monsters, underwater tunnels (complete with an oxygen meter) will block your path. Think about it, over 35 years have passed, but it’s still astonishing how so many ideas were created with limited hardware resources. In the inventory, you can carry various items or place them on the ground and retrieve them later. There are guns (with limited ammo), containers (for water and oil), explosives, keys, boomerangs (hehe!), umbrellas, teleports, oxygen capsules... A catchy little tune will accompany you, although after a while, it might get stuck in your head. Have fun. So long.

(15) Fela Kuti & The Afrika '70 – Coffin For Head Of State (1981)

The cover of this famous song shows images from a protest that took place in 1979 in Lagos, Nigeria, in front of the Dodan military barracks, at the time the residence of the ruling dictator, General Olusegun Obasanjo (more recently, from 1999 to 2007, a democratically elected president). The protesters carried a coffin that symbolically represented the casket of Fela Kuti's mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti – born in 1900, a teacher and women's rights activist – who had been killed just the year before by soldiers of the regime during a violent raid against Kalakuta Republic, the Ransome-Kuti clan's compound, as retaliation for the continuous musical provocations from the great artist considered the father of afrobeat... The Kuti family's large house was burned and destroyed, many family members were injured, and several women were raped... Fela's mother, 77 years old, was thrown out of a window and died after several weeks in a coma.

Would you like to try something new?
A tour (necessarily not exhaustive) of the extraordinary Neapolitan musical heritage.

Musicanova "Pizzica minore"

And so Eugenio Bennato and Carlo D'Angiò go on their way. Joining them are Teresa De Sio, Toni Esposito, Robert Fix, Gigi De Rienzo and others, giving birth to "Musica Nova". At least three excellent albums (Musica Nova, Brigante Se More, Se Turnammo A Nascere) in which the linguistic instruments of folk music are used to create a "new music" that knows how to interpret the present in light of the past.
And those with so many masterpieces of folk from overseas at home should listen attentively.
