YouTube Music Roundup. I've recently been looking up loads of music stuff on YouTube and I thought I'd share a few highlights.[More:]
Thanks - I didn't even think of looking up Gary Numan on YouTube. And I certainly didn't think of looking up Gary Numan AND Leo Sayer.

I'm amazed at how cool shit is available - so many clips I haven't seen in years or never at all. I'd also recommend the 60's French rock and pop performances. Also, the Standell's doing "Do the Ringo" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on the Munsters is worth seeing.

My new addiction: staying up way later than I should looking up on YouTube great musicians I love who I never got a chance to see. I get goosebumps watching some of these. Here are some of the best from my favorites that might be of general interest:
Bessie Smith - St. Louis Blues - from this movie, 1929
Django Reinhardt (w/Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club Quintet) - J'Attendrai - ????
Miles Davis and John Coltrane - So What - 1958
Dinah Washington - All of Me - 1958
Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit - ????

And, the two post-war Chicago blues giants still in their prime:
Howlin' Wolf (with Hubert Sumlin and the rest of his classic band) - Shake For Me/I'll Be Back Someday - 1964
Muddy Waters (w/Sonny Boy Williamson II, and, I think, Willie Dixon and Otis Spann) - Got My Mojo Working - early '60s?
