Allo, Allo!

As always, I don't expect these regional—and especially French Canadian—albums to draw much attention compared to most, but I always hope someone will find it and maybe have a story or memory about the performer. :)

The last of the prettiness

Hot on the proverbial heels of the last post, here's the last of the Sylvia albums I have.

I know a Sylvia. She doesn't look like that.

Not much thought put into this. 'Swivel to your left and look to your right.' Oh well, still nice. ;)

I'm guessing the fan club of your favorite background voice is no longer operational. How cool would it be if it is, though? :)

Let's conclude our Sylvia trilogy by looking at her biggest hit, the pop/country crossover (back when that was acceptable) "Nobody", which opens this album...

And here she is being interviewed by Dick Clark...

And here she accepts her 1983 ACM Award for Top Female Vocalist...

Still pretty

N'est-ce pas?

This post's title is in reference to the first Sylvia album I posted. (and notice in the credits here, she is still listed only as a "background voice") 

I may have a third Sylvia album, so stay tuned.

*shaking my fist*

Dedicated to the stupid drunken losers* whooping it up in Florida for Spring Break this year.

But really, other than at some upper crust snobby college or something, this practice is deader than a dead doornail, right? I mean, why sing together when you can just jump around and vomit along with some meth-addicted DJ with a laptop?

*more stupid than usual, that is...

So Fair It's Unfair

Is the choice of model a pun? I mean, she's positively ghostly! Must be all the stupid cigarettes.

Teensville

I bet Maureen Linsday spun this at many a sock hop. :)

Harmonium

Don't need to think up a funny/cool post title when the band's name is cool enough.

One of the cooler albums I have. Prog rock/folk, not surprisingly.

Cool that you have to open it to know what it is.

Yep, another glorious gatefold. :)

Here's a little info from their Wiki article: "Their second album Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison, better known as Les Cinq saisons, was an immediate success. This concept album included five songs, each one representing a season with the last song being a long instrumental representing a fifth and imaginary season. For this album, the band recruited two new members, Pierre Daigneault, playing the flutes, sax, and clarinets and Serge Locat, handling the piano and synthesizer. The group also invited two guests to play on the sessions: Judi Richards, who handles the vocalizations on the instrumental "Histoires sans paroles" and Marie Bernard performing the theremin-like sounds of the Martenot waves. In 2015, Rolling Stone magazine listed this album at number 36 of the best 50 progressive rock album and declared it the best progressive folk album."

Here's a short National Film Board doc about them touring in California...
