From MOOGYKING at aol.com Wed Jul 5 20:55:55 2006 From: MOOGYKING at aol.com (MOOGYKING at aol.com) Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 12:55:55 EDT Subject: [Awizard] from Moogy - Buzzy Linhart & 6 degrees of Utopia Message-ID: <50f.333f118.31dd491b@aol.com> Hi Todd/Utopia folks, These upcoming gigs are with the little heard from legend - Buzzy Linhart - one of the great singer/songwriter/performers of the 60's and the 70's. He's sounding better than ever in his first East Coast gigs in four years. It's going to be some great gigs - so please come down. By the way, Todd co-produced one of Buzzy's albums (the black album) way back when. When Kevin Ellman and John Seigler joined Utopia, they had to quit the Buzzy Linhart band first. And Buzzy and I wrote "You gotta have Friends" together. I organized a Buzzy Linhart Celebration concert at the Bottom Line four years ago. Singing and performing for/with Buzzy were Phoebe Snow, John Sebastion, John Hammond, Eric Anderson, David Amram, Will Lee (from Letterman) and many other show biz greats. Buzzy is a legend, even among the music industry itself. Don't miss this.

And during the early 70's he was the Easty Coast's hottest rock and roller, selling out at clubs and concert halls up and down the coast. Buzzy's high energy two hour shows made him the Bruce Springsteen of his day. Buzzy co-wrote "You Gotta Have Friends" with his frequent piano player, Moogy Klingman. Buzzy started out as a vibes player in Greenwich Village back at the dawn of the 60's, he played behind Tim Hardin and Fred Neil and recorded as a vibist with Jimi Hendrix and Crosby, Stills and Nash. He made about six albums (not including countless greatest hits and repackages of all sorts) for various major labels in the late sixties and early seventies including Atlantic, Mercury and Karma Sutra. Buzzy was a singing, songwriting, guitar playing solo artist and a legendary live performer. He even filled Carnegie Hall at the height of Buzzymania! Having his songs covered by Bette Midler, Barry Manilow and Carly Simon, among others, his rep as a songwriter has always been a great one. Buzzy's unique combination of jazz, folk and rock made him an innovator and influence on many who came after him. His singing could go from rock to blues to jazz scat in any 24 bars of a song! His songs were covered by people like Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Carly Simon, and the Roche Sisters Buzzy sightings became legendary over the years. There would be many NYC sightings, when Buzzy would show up at my house and music would be made and songs would be written. Sometimes, we'd write songs and play gigs with bands. Sometimes, we'd do radio shows. - Buzzy's last appearance in NYC four years ago, was his biggest - a big show at the Bottom line four years ago that was a tribute to him with his sidekick, Moogy Klingman and an array of famous names. - Phoebe Snow, John Hammond, John Sebastion, Eric Anderson, David Amram and Will Lee, among others. _www.buzzylinhart.com_ (http://www.buzzylinhart.com/) Moogy Klingman co-wrote "You got to have Friends" with Buzzy Linhart back in the old daze.
