There’s no denying that I like an organ’s thick juicy sound. My love started with that Farfisa bounce in 60s garage rock – i.e. 96 Tears. It expanded with Vanilla Fudge, ELP. I think on of my fruit jazz organ lps with Jimmy Smith’s Monster (more about him when I get to ’S’].
Back in the day when I flipped though bins of 2nd hand cds I came upon Brother Jack McDuff (1926-2001) lp: Gettin’ Our…

“Ladies and Gentlemen Discover the best Female drummer in the world, (From Germany) I'm Not kidding " she has the best feeling for Music/Soul like Jeff Porcaro. She really Nails Every Drummer in the world. (including John Bonham).”
Was this a hit, one wonders? Why yes, it was! A big one...did you get it? :D THE SONG - "You Get What You Give" was written by Gregg Alexander and Rick Nowels of the alternative rock band New Radicals for their only studio album 'Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too'. Alexander, for all intents and purposes, was the band since he wrote (or co-wrote), sang, and produced all their songs. Keyboardist and percussionist Danielle Brisebois was the only other permanent member. Although she appears in the band's video, she didn't play on this song. Co-writer Nowells played keyboards and sang backup. Recording for 'Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too' took place between 1997 and 1998 and it was released on Oct 16, 1998. "You Get What You Give", as a single, was released on Nov 10, 1998 and was an international hit. It entered Billboard's Hot 100 at #64 on Dec 5, 1998, peaked at #36 on Jan 30, 1999, and was last seen at #90 on Apr 10, 1999. It fared better on Billboard's Modern Rock chart (now called Alternative) hitting #8 on Jan 16, 1999. While "You Get What You Give" is considered to be a one-hit wonder, it was popular among many musicians. U2's The Edge stated that "I really would love to have written that". It earned praises from Joni Mitchell for "rising from the swamp of 'McMusic'" and it was even lauded, in 2006, by Ice-T. Alexander deliberately provoked controversy with the song's closing lyrics that call out Marilyn Manson, Beck, Courtney Love and Hanson as fakes. Other musicians on the song included lead guitarist Rusty Anderson, who is better known as the lead guitarist of Paul McCartney, and drummer Gary Ferguson, who did session work for Glenn Hughes, Gary Moore, Cher, Little Richard, Ray Charles, Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather among many others. THE DRUMMER - Gary Ferguson began playing drums at the age of 11. He started doing session work in Los Angeles. His first major session, at age 18, was for Shirley Bassey. In addition to his work with the previously mentioned artitsts, he is part of the drum faculty of the Los Angeles College of Music. Sina is back from her vacation and Rosanna had a brief chat. Was she very familiar with "You Get What You Give"? Sina said, "I've heard this song on the radio a few times, but we don't own the album." Rosanna also asked about the double bass drum addition in the end part. Sina explained, "I try to prevent my drum covers from being boring. When the audience has to look at the drummer for the whole song, sometimes it's not enough to play what the original drummer did. When you record a video of a song, sometimes you have to have a different approach to the recording. So, I added the double bass pattern to make the video more interesting." Well, I don't know about you guys, but I haven't seen a boring Sina drum cover yet and anytime a musician can add a creative or unique touch to a cover, it does make it more interesting. In this case, it's an improvement! FUN FACT - Although New Radicals was a one-hit wonder, don't feel bad for Gregg Alexander. He co-wrote (with Rick Nowels) "The Game of Love" by Santana and Michelle Branch. That song was a big hit and won a Grammy in 2003. THE ICON - (originally from Oct 20, 2017)
