Badfinger - great song

Band suffered a lot of tragedy though

Without you is one of the finest breakup songs and No matter what is one of the best pop songs, absolute tragedy what happened them. Horrible industry.

Sorry to hear Jimmy Ruffin has passed away. He was one of Motown's stars whose biggest hit was 'What becomes of the Broken Hearted'. Classic.

Not much on Sunday at all (although BBC Four's budget difficulties mean they have music compiliations on after midnight most nights, to fill up the schedule). The Blues Brothers is on RTE1 tonight at 12.20am. Bit of a missed opportunity there, it would go down a treat after The Late Late Show on any given Friday. Or maybe every Friday, like the way The Rocky Horror Show plays in some cinemas! I would watch it. Slán.

Monday BBC Four
Jack Bruce - The Man Behind the Bass

Just caught up with this, made by BBC Scotland for their Arts strand but not sure how long ago. Interesting for the interviews and a couple of the old classics being re-jigged but whole chunks of his career were left out predictably enough.

Also on tonight is the 2010 Northern Soul film 'Soulboy' (BBC2 NI, 11.35pm)

That one is not to be confused with the similar 2014 Northern Soul Film, 'Northern Soul' which was in cinemas recently

Ol' Donie

If I was cynical, I would say that section about 'wimmin can rock as well as men' was thrown in as a sop to the BBC's liberal right on pinko overlords.
