FINALLY

We've been waiting so long for footage of the Rotary Connection that even them miming and lip synching with this terrible hack of a host will do.

Madeleine Chartrand - Ani Kuni (Ani Couni)

Hot French version of the Iroqouis lullaby

Serge Gainsbourg - Love On The Beat

From Gainsbourg's 1984 album of the same name. Great song and video

The Bar-Kays (Mark I)

This is rare footage of the teenagers that had a hit with Soul Finger a few months prior, and would become Otis Redding's backing band, as well as STAX's second-string house band. Apparently this TV show appearance was taped the day before Redding and most of the band died in a plane crash.

Donald “Duck” Dunn 11/24/41 – 5/13/2012

One of soul music's greatest bass players, Duck Dunn, died last Sunday. Besides being the bassist for Booker T and the MGs, he also played on countless sessions as part of the Stax/Volt house band. Here he is on one of our favorite MGs songs, "Over Easy".

Burt and Dionne

Here's an incredible behind-the-scenes look at the inspired working relationship of Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick.

Maurice Sendak (6/10/28 - 5/08/12)

Here's a short that eventually became his last book, Bumble-Ardy. It isn't bad; in fact, it's fine. Thanks for all the great work, Mr Sendak.
