Just remember I love you

“Firefall” is a relatively unknown band for most rock fans. However, when we consider soft rock of the seventies, “Firefall” is an important name although they could never make it big! Undoubtedly, they could have gotten much farther than they have reached, but somehow, they just remained an undermined soft rock band. With wonderful melody, gentle beat and lover boy’s lyrics, many of their songs sway any rock fan smoothly. With songs like “Just remember I love you”, “Someday soon”, “You are the woman”, “Goodbye I love you”, “Only a fool”, “Love that got away”, “Sold on you”, to their catalogue, “Firefall” is a band to fall upon when you don’t have anyone to fall upon….

 Let me in

 “Rick Derringer” is one of the most cherished rock guitarists of the seventies. Firstly, with his band “The McCoys”, and subsequently, as the guitarists partner for Johnny and Edgar Winter brothers, Rick Derringer substantiated his place among the seventies rock guitar virtuosos. Although, his catalogue of hit numbers is relatively few, his contribution to the seventies rock scenario just can’t be undermined. Despite being in various bands and collaborating with numerous varied artists, he had been continuing his musical career till late. With his recent death in 2025 May, the era of a great rock guitarist has come to an end.

Come and see me

 “Fanny” may be an uncommon name for many rock fans of the past and the present. However, this all female American band is considered as one of the first all female bands to be signed by a major label when they were signed by Reprise Records in 1969. Although they had a short lived musical career, they have successfully paved the pathway for later all female bands like “The Runaways”, “The Go Go’s”, “The Bangles” etc. Although they could never get the credit they deserved, they have been highly praised by giants like David Bowie and George Harrison. Regardless of their all female composition, they were always aware that they had to be respected musically and they always strived for their musical skill rather than anything else. And no wonder, today, the rock fans adore them for their musical genius and prowess.

Hard rain fallin’

 

“Sir Lord Baltimore” may be not a common name in the field of seventies hard rock. Originating as a trio from Brooklyn, New York, USA in 1968, “Sir Lord Baltimore” consisted of John Garner (Drums/vocals), Louis Dambra (Guitars) and Gary Justin (Bass). They were undoubtedly America’s one of the first bona fide heavy metal band. Their music was first cited as “heavy metal” by Creem magazine in 1970 with the release of their debut album “Kingdome Come.” This was proclaimed as the first time the word “heavy metal” was used in the music. Although they were a short lived heavy metal band with only total two albums in their early career (Kingdome Come in 1970 and Sir Lord Baltimore in 1971) and one later album in 2006 as a reunion album, they never got the credit they deserved. However, their music was later rediscovered in the nineties as they became the source for most stoner rock bands of the time.
