Not Friday on my Mind 87: You Really Got Me – The Kinks, Can’t Explain – The Who

I know it’s not Friday but 1960s record producer Shel Talmy died earlier last week; I saw the notice a bit too late for my posting. A Chicagoan, he moved to Britain in 1962. After blagging his way into a job in the record business in London he was in charge of the mixing desk for the first hits of both the Kinks and The Who. He also produced early David Bowie tracks and Friday on my Mind for the Easybeats, the song after which my category is named, plus Mike D’Abo’s debut as lead singer for Manfred Mann, Just Like a Woman.
The Kinks: You Really Got Me
The Who: Can’t Explain
Sheldon (Shel) Talmy: 11/8/1937-13/1120/24. So it goes.
