Subject: RE: Origins: '(Just Like) Starting Over' From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Jul 16 - 01:02 AM Hi, Bill - I combined the two threads. Hope I did it right. I've always thought John Lennon's "Starting Over" (1980) was intended to be a mishmash of riffs from rock'n'roll songs of the 1950s. Here's a YouTube video of "(Just Like) Starting Over": Here's Jesse Belvin's "Guess Who" (1959): I think that any resemblance is purely intentional. I don't know that Lennon intended to copy Belvin hiimself. I think his intention was to use common 1950s riffs. The riffs in "Starting Over" sound like the riffs in dozens of 1950s rock'n'roll songs. -Joe Offer, Mudcat Music Editor- |

Subject: Origins:(Just Like) Starting Over From: GUEST,Bill Date: 20 Jul 16 - 12:22 AM When I listen to Lennon's rubato intro to "(Just Like) Starting Over" the more I hear the opening bars of Jesse Belvin's 1959 song "Guess Who". Coincidence or what? |
