The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
To start off the week, we have John Kongos with his 1971 hit, "He's Gonna Step On You Again". I first heard this in the summer of 1971 on Los Angeles progressive/underground rock station KPPC-FM (which later became KROQ-FM). At that time, it was just called "Step On", so I have to disagree with Wikipedia.
Speaking of 1971, most likely the next two weeks of Classic Rock Music Mondays will also have 1971 rock songs. One sort of led to the others in the ol' memory banks.
From Wikipedia:
John Theodore Kongos (born 6 August 1945) is a South African-born singer and songwriter of Greek ancestry, best known for his 1971 Top 10 hit single "He's Gonna Step on You Again", on which Happy Mondays based their hit "Step On". His other big hit was "Tokoloshe Man", which was featured on the TV show Life on Mars and the CD soundtrack. His second album, Kongos, made the top 30 of the UK Albums Chart; but his subsequent singles, "Great White Lady" (1972), "Ride the Lightning" (1975) and "Higher than God's Hat" (1975) did not chart.
