    Sometime between melty face and so, us or up, Pete Gabriel became a Motown act. This cover proves it.

    BTW, I like how one of the backup singers is credited with "fake guitar." Very honest!

    White boy can sang; more contemporary R&B-ish than 50s-style, though.

    Yeah, Noah Guthrie reminds me a bit of Gregory Page and his retro style.


    But of course both owe a huge debt to Leon Redbone:

    Incidentally, if you watch the full-screen video of "Sledgehammer" on YouTube, the "fake guitar" backup singer Adanna Duru is just cuter than shit! Gorgeous smile.

    in the 50s "R & B" was called Rock and Roll
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
