Pollstar | Michael Stanley 1948 - 2021: An Appreciation

When the Michael Stanley Band took the stage – from their early record-setting mid-70s stands at the original Agora Ballroom or 10-night final run at the rotating stage Front Row Theater, not to mention the record-setting four-night SRO appearances at Blossom Music Center or the two nights at Richfield Coliseum that sold out faster than led Zeppelin – there was an urgency forged by the city of Cleveland’s zeitgeist. No matter how tough things got, MSB created music that swept sometimes tens of thousands of locals up in its expansive view of life in “Our Town.”

Singer-songwriter, guitarist and band leader Michael Stanley passed away on March 5, at the age of 72. We had been working with Michael on a 40th anniversary article of The Michael Stanley Band’s Top 40 debut at the time of his passing.
In 1969, while in college, Michael Stanley released his first album as part of the band Silk. After two solo albums featuring “Rosewood Bitters,” “Moving Right Along,” and “Let’s Get the Show on the Road” in the early 1970s, The Michael Stanley Band was formed in the middle of the decade, receiving FM radio airplay and enjoying a live Midwest regional hit single with “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Mind,” written by Jonah Koslen.

Boomer's Guide: Green Day singer has fun on 'No Fun Mondays'


BY MICHAEL CHAIKEN | REPUBLICAN-AMERICAN
284
Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day is not the first rock artist to record an album entirely of cover songs.
Forget about singers like Joe Cocker and Grace Jones who established their careers by interpreting the work of other songwriters.
There are tons of examples of rock and roll songwriters who took a busman’s holiday by tackling other people’s hits. Some artists earned kudos for their detours, such as Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music with 1973’s “These Foolish Things” and John Lennon with 1975’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Other artists earned a few raspberries such as David Bowie with 1973’s “Pin Ups” and Rod Stewart on 2003’s “It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook.”
