Donovan - The Fat Angel (1966 - SP version)

 Written about Cass Elliott apparently. The Donovan autobiography was good. 

Donovan's psychedelic tribute to Jefferson Airplane and Mama Cass . The Airplane recorded a live version on their album "Bless It's Pointed Little Head" (1969)

Human League Rock and Roll (Top pf the Pops) 1980

 Another of Susan's picks. This was the time that she really liked them. She liked the haircut too. At this period they used to project slides behind them which was entertaining. 

David Johansen King of Babylon 1984

 We bought and enjoyed this album. This is probably the best song on it. Apparently on Miami Vice

The T.A.M.I. Show 1964 - Full HD Original Electronovision Version

 Tom Hanks did his radio show on the T.A.M.I. show theme. Here it is in full. 

Per Wikipædia: The film was shot by director Steve Binder and his crew from The Steve Allen Show, using a precursor to high-definition television, called "Electronovision", invented by the self-taught "electronics whiz," Bill Sargent (H.W. Sargent, Jr). The film was the second of a small number of productions that used the system. By capturing more than 800 lines of resolution at 25 frame/s, the video could be converted to film via kinescope recording with sufficiently enhanced resolution to allow big-screen enlargement. It is considered one of the seminal events in the pioneering of music films, and more importantly, the later concept of music videos. Performers include: The Barbarians The Beach Boys Chuck Berry James Brown and The Famous Flames Marvin Gaye (with backing vocals by The Blossoms) Gerry & the Pacemakers Lesley Gore Jan and Dean Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas Smokey Robinson and The Miracles The Rolling Stones Diana Ross and the Supremes The Wrecking Crew

Slade Everyday 1974

 Susan had this song pop into her head the other day and she wasn't a fan and didn't like it at the time. Good though. Wiki
