CULVER CITY (CBS) — Culver City police say they have recovered five stolen guitars belonging to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and have made an arrest in the case. “If you take a look at these guitars, each and every one of them has been responsible for creating one of his greatest hits in the last 30 years so there’s a lot of emotional attachment to these guitars and we couldn’t be more pleased that we were able to get them back to Mr. Petty,” said Chief Don Pedersen of the Culver City Police Department at a news conference Tuesday. On Thursday, four of the five guitars were stolen from his soundstage in Culver City. A day later, another one was reported missing. But the investigation didn’t last long. Police say they’ve recovered the guitars and arrested the alleged thief, identified as 51-year-old Daryl Washington.

According to authorities, Washington works as a security guard at Culver Studios where Petty and The Heartbreakers had been rehearsing for their upcoming U.S. tour. Petty issued the following statement through his publicist: “I’m extremely grateful to the Culver City Police Department for a job well done and touched by the outpouring of good wishes and concern from our fans and friends.” The band offered a no-questions-asked $7,500 reward for information leading to the return of the guitars. Poster Comment: In the words of the legendary actor Dwayne Hickman (TV's DOBIE GILLIS): "Don't send a rabbit to the store to bring home some carrots and, put them on the shelf, Don't send a rabbit to the store to bring home some carrots He'll eat them all himself."

I still love the duet that Petty sang with Stevie Nix on her second "solo" album. (Although I'm still in love with Stevie - I'm a sucker for Altos. There is nothing sexier than a warm rich alto or contralto. I also worship the ground upon which Shirley Bassey (a.k.a. "Pussy Galore" for you Bond fans) walks.) Hangin's too good for this creep.
Actually, Shirley Bassey is best known for recording the theme songs to the James Bond films Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), and Moonraker (1979, but she never appeared in the films. Pussy Galore was played by Honor Blackman. (Goldfinger-1964)
My bad. I was told it was Shirley years ago and never bothered to check any further. I stand corrected. I still love Shirley though.
Brutha, you got that right. Her voice is world class, and, she still receives invitations to all upscale affairs with guest lists that include everyone from Queen Elizabeth to Queen Elton. And, I'm sure you know that she's a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire", hence the title, Dame Shirley Bassey. From Obsequipedia: "For services to entertainment", Bassey was created a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) on 31 December 1999 by Queen Elizabeth II.[54] She was invited to perform in 2002 at the Party at the Palace, a public celebration of the Queen's Golden Jubilee. She was awarded France's top honour, the Legion d'Honneur, to signify her popularity and importance in the culture of France. 1972 – Best Female Singer – TV Times 1973 – Best Female Singer – TV Times 1974 – Best Female Entertainer – American Guild of Variety Artists 1976 – Best Female Singer – Music Week..." ...and so on....

Here's two cuts of one my favorites - one studio and one live. She just seems to have a particular affinity for this song as you can see in the second how she just wraps herself around it. The best way to describe it is "liquid warmth".
It was interesting reading the comments on Jewtoob on how a lot of people seem compelled to compare whatever their favorite is to Shirley. The one that really caught me was the comparison of Streisand and Dame Shirley, by a Streisand fan. It did get me to thinking though - and I prefer Shirley - but the why I came up with is that Streisand is technically stunning whereas Shirley reaches down into your soul. It's like the difference between Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix. Eddie is a technical virtuoso but he does not have Jimi's soul nor his ability to make a song live and reach deep.
