Black Sabbath - "Iron Man"



One of my all-time fave's, from Black Sabbath's Paranoid album.

Omg, that's more than 40 years ago.

I alway's wondered who did that tune? It must have been on the edge of my favorite list. I guess I was more Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Chicago, Cream, and you'll love this. Johnny Mathis.

I LOVE this tune! Other great tunes off of this album are "War Pigs", "Fairies Wear Boots", "Electric Funeral" and the title track.

Ah hell, the WHOLE album's great!

drew, I agree, but the production was primitive. I have the album on CD, an original, not a copy, and the distortion is terrible. Still, I love it.

Toad, I liked all of those guys, too, including Johnny Mathis at Christmas time. He had a great voice. Cream were gods and you never hear bands like Chicago or Blood, Sweat,and Tears anymore. I love a horn line in a band.

Orb's, The horn line Is perhaps the greatest part of those bands of the 70s. Chicago's lyrics, were also important. Mathis, with an orchestra, was so perfect In voice, It amazed me. I was also kind of into Brazilian music at the time. Sergio Mendez In the 60s and 70s was a favorite. I just purchased a dvd/cd of a choir from brazil called "Perpetuum Jazzile". I have yet to hear the entire disc, but they re-do "Africa" by "Toto", and It's amazing. You actually can find It on "You Tube"

I love finding music on YouTube. The digital age has made an enormous amount of music available. Music from around the world is now at our fingertips. It is fantastic.

At home, I find myself listening to streaming classical music online almost all of the time now. In the truck, I blast the rock 'n roll. Or sometimes opera. lol

Orbs, I agree about the production of the album. If you noticed, during the ending solo, Tony Iommi's guitar is on one speaker while the other is Geezer Butler's bass and Bill Ward's drums. I had a HELL of a time trying to meter this while recording this album from to cassette. (I later got this album on vinyl and then on CD)
