Join us as we delve into the highs and lows of a music icon, his impact on the industry, and the enduring power of his music.
I remember how we all loved My Sharona at the time. I had no idea that he passed. Very sad that he had so many professional and health obstacles in his life, he was extremely talented.
I love Get the Knack!Makes me happy when I hear it!It's 2024!
The Knack released two more albums after Serious Fun: Zoom in 1998, and Normal as the Next Guy in 2001. Both are fairly decent albums. My favorite Knack album is Round Trip because they experimented with various music genres on that album.
Excellent video, good morning from Melbourne :) l remember when My Sharona was released, it was phenomenally successful and it still stands out. I remember them being marketed as “the new Beatles”, which I don’t think really helped them. The album cover photo featuring the actual subject of the song My Sharona, oh boy was it controversial. They were a bright spot on the charts for sure. I love how positive these videos are! I have a request if at all possible some time in the future…Davey Jones, most well known for being a member of The Monkees. Thank you for another great video!
Thank you as always Deidre 🥰 And yes the My Sharona record cover doesn't leave much for the imagination 😂 I have Davey Jones on the list already but wasn't sure if anyone would be interested, so thank you for your suggestion 🤗 I always really appreciate your input and kind words 💕
@@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv oh gosh yes people will be interested! He was under-appreciated as a musician. You’re very welcome, it’s always a joy to see your videos 🤗
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you my friend you also! 🤗💖
One of the best live bands ever,,
He lived His Dream & Was very Successful. It's a long way to the Top! If you want to Rock & Roll 👍🏻
Pretty thorough but nothing was mentioned he was a touring member of German prog band Triumvirat in 1975.
Thank you for that! I worked for Capitol Records recording dept. when Doug was with the band. I recall him being in the studio, working on some tracks. & rehearsing for gigs.
@@user-lr4sg2ms7i glad you could confirm that.
Thanks for mentioning that.
@@CKS64 you’re welcome
Was Eberhard Schoener in that band ?
I wasn't aware that he died, and it's now June 30,2024!😢
I Love This Band ❤❤❤
Saw the Knack in a small club in Cleveland many years ago,They kicked a$$!!!!
His brother Jeffrey was also Dr. Jack "Dr. Death" Kevorkian's attorney- I much preferred Good Girls Don't over My Sharona...
I loved Triumvirate
Fi-ger….NOT Feeger…
He wrote his own faith. Smoking.
I remember that people were saying that this was the future of music. LoL
I never knew he ever married anyone
Pronounced FI-GERR NOT FEEGERR! Ugh!
@@brucetracy726 Also pronounced “Grand-ie” Ballroom not Grand Ballroom
I didn't like the knack at all I thought they sucked
Me too. I always hated my sharona, awful irritating song.
@@Simon-fr4ts your probably an unsuccessful musician...
you suck much more then the knack ever could
They were a joke, one hit wonder never heard of again after 79. Dead kennedies covered my Sharon at the 79 monteray blues frativsl and cheech and chong changed the lyrics to my Scroatum 😂.
@@patrickmcmanus5373 a joke is you thinking they were a one hit wonder. Some of the finest studio musicians thought the band was superb.
