Felix Pappalardi & Leslie West on stage
#Interestingly Felix Pappalardi’s next big chapter came through guitarist Leslie West… He produced West’s 1969 album Mountain, & the partnership turned into a rock group. In Mountain, Felix did it all: bass, vocals, production, & songwriting. #FelixPappalardi #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote Interesting lil’ clip of legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker explaining how “Lawdy Mama” became “Strange Brew.” #FelixPappalardi #Cream #GingerBaker #OneHitWondered
Felix Pappalardi & Jesse Colin Young of The Youngbloods in the studio
#Interestingly Bronx-born & classically trained, Felix Pappalardi came up through NYC’s Greenwich Village scene, working as an arranger/player before sliding into record production… & becoming a go-to producer for folk/folk-rock acts, including The Youngbloods. #FelixPappalardi #OneHitWondered
Felix Pappalardi
#Interestingly Felix Pappalardi rarely got the spotlight, but he shaped a lot of what we’ve heard: producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and later Mountain’s bassist/co-lead vocalist and producer. In plain English: he did it all. #Mountain #FelixPappalardi #OneHitWondered

Really glad I picked this one out of the pile tonight. Leslie West was soooo good!
Tone, melody, sublime vibrato and tasty phrasing.

Picked up this original French pressing on Island back in February. I know we only saw Paris through the eyes of a tourist but damn, we really loved it there.

This is VERY influential to me. Leslie’s tone is otherworldly! “Theme for an Imaginary Western” has my 2 favorite guitar solos EVER. Fits the song perfectly.
