A great compilation, great tracks from that period in the 40's/50's when the Blues began to morph into Rock & Roll. It's the real deal, move over Elvis, Big Momma Thornton is taking the stage!
Equinoxe 5 by Jean Michel Jarre, who won the Hawking Starmus medal! I remember being amazed by this music when I first heard it as a teen in 1986. ETA: I still love it today, and have another of his albums en route for delivery tomorrow.
It was 1979 for me - 15 years old and in Mexico city staying with a family there (on an exchange) and hearing Oxygène on the tape deck in the car we were in...I have been a fan ever since.
He just wrapped up a tour of North America. I was crushed to see that I could have seen him last month in Boston had I known. I watched all kinds of concert videos on IG last night. He's gotta be 70-ish and is still going hardcore.
