Nick Drake: Bio | Chronology | Death   | Guitars   | Interplay One 1972 | London 1968 | Photographs | Ross Grainger Reminiscences 1969-70 | Songs | Interplay One 1972 According to Robert Kirby, friend and arranger for Nick Drake, both he and Nick were involved in sessions for the educational double LP recording entitled Interplay One (Longman, 1972). Kirby remembered the following in regards to the session: The other session I got for Nick was for Longman, the educational publishers. I was singing, pretending to be a swagman, Nick played guitar, and a childhood friend called Rocking John played banjo ….. I was going out with a girl who was an editor at Longman, and it was recorded, I think, at their offices in Harlow. It was done within a year of us leaving Cambridge, so 1970/71.

Nick Drake - Photographs

This is to aid in the ongoing research into the life and times of Nick Drake, as the artist remains something of a mystery. Images of him are relatively, with two superb examples by Tony Evans from 1971 only "discovered" in October 2011, and a gig poster coming to light in late 2016. Questions arise as to precisely when the various images of Drake were taken, by...

I just don't understand 1961

1. Introduction The song I Just Don't Understand was originally released by RCA Victor in the United States during June 1961, as a single by then new Swedish-born artist Ann-Margret Olsson - the actress and dancer best known as simply Ann-Margret (b.1941) and for films such as Viva Las Vegas (1963) with Elvis Presley and the film noir Once a Thief (1965) with French actor Alain Delon. The song I Just Don't Understand was written by Marijohn Wilkin and Kent Westberry. The latter went on to record a version in 1981; however, Wilkin does not appear to have ever done so, though she did release a number of largely Christian recordings during the 1980s. The Ann Margret version entered the Billboard Top 40 the week of 21 August 1961 and stayed 6 weeks, peaking at #17. It also peaked at #6 on the CHUM chart in October 1961 and spent 12 weeks on that chart. The recording was produced by Chet Atkins and Dick Pearce. It was a very sultry, bluesy song, with dominant harmonic...
