In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

The Frank Zappa vault series, whether it’s reissues of classic albums or new archival releases, is an embarrassment of riches that thankfully seems to have no end. Among the recent new products (boy, would Frank hate that word) to come out in various configurations and formats are legendary recordings from the Whiskey a Go-Go from July 23rd, 1968. The concert came after the first three albums from the Mothers: Freak Out! (1966), Absolutely Free (1967), and We’re Only in It for the Money (1968) and Zappa’s first solo album, Lumpy Gravy, a collaboration with the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra, on which Zappa did not perform, but instead conducted the orchestra.

In what feels like horrendous irony, Paul Simon said that his friendship with Art Garfunkel began crumbling soon after writing "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Inspired by gospel music, Paul wrote this song fairly quickly and insisted that Art sing it, per American Songwriter. He would later regret that decision after seeing how popular it became. To this day, it is one of the duo's most beloved songs.This haunting ballad tells the story of one person being a rock for another, who is going through a difficult time.
