    Biography
    Born
    7 July 1951 (age 68)

    Born In
    Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Terence William 'Blondie' Chaplin (born 7 July 1951) is a musician from Durban, South Africa who first became known to international audiences through his brief stint in the early 1970s as a singer and guitarist for the Beach Boys. Chaplin was also listed as a co-producer, sang lead vocals with fellow South African musician Ricky Fataar (drummer) and composed, with Fataar, "Here She Comes" and "Hold On Dear Brother" on the twenty-third official Beach Boys album, "Carl and the Passions - 'So Tough'", released in 1972. He is well known in recent years as a long term backing vocalist and acoustic rhythm guitarist for the Rolling Stones.

    Blondie Chaplin, along with drummer Ricky Fataar, joined the Beach Boys when original drummer Dennis Wilson suffered a hand injury which left him unable to play the drums for almost two years. For the Beach Boys, it was a period in which long-time member Bruce Johnston had departed the band, and one-time leader Brian Wilson's participation in the group was very limited. As a result, Chaplin and Fataar joined the Beach Boys as full-fledged members and not merely as backing musicians. Chaplin left the group in 1973 after a dispute with the Beach Boys' management; Fataar remained with the band until the following year.

    Both Chaplin and Fataar were members of South African rock band the Flame before joining The Beach Boys. The Flame were discovered by Beach Boy Carl Wilson while performing in London. Wilson signed the band to the Beach Boys' Brother Records label and produced their self-titled album which featured soulful rock/pop songs in the vein of The Beach Boys and Badfinger. The Flame were the only band aside from The Beach Boys to record for Brother Records.

    Chaplin sang lead on at least three Beach Boys songs, "Sail On, Sailor," "Leaving This Town" and "Funky Pretty" (all from the 1973 album Holland). During the late 1980s Chaplin toured with The Band, replacing some of Richard Manuel's vocals and playing guitar. Chaplin was also a featured player in former Byrds men Gene Clark and Michael Clarke's new band, titled "The 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Byrds". Chaplin then appeared on the Jennifer Warnes albums The Hunter and The Well. Since the late 1990s and the Bridges to Babylon Tour, Chaplin has been a backing vocalist and occasional guitar player for The Rolling Stones.

    Chaplin has released three solo albums, most recently Between Us in 2006.

  • Well, I must say that I recommend retirement wholeheartedly. Spending some time with the vinyl certainly has made this co-vid shut-in most pleasant. It's also re-inforced my connection to the vinyl that I can't seem to get with the music I've downloaded, in most cases. It's like, I can't remember where I got his ...A...Lover reissue release from, apparently sometime after 1994 and before 2017, but I can remember everything about & Company. I got it in Jr. High at Jaffe's with my paper route money for $1.75 priced in grease pencil on the back cover(the way he priced everything). It's reminded me of lots of shops I've visited. I always appreciated the shops that put their stamp on the inside of the sleeve or provided those slick album protecters like Peter Dunn's Vinyl Museum in Toronto did (my one visit had to include some time for flipping through some shops). At any rate, Bo & Company has been played on many different turntables since then and I still remember spotting that flashy cover as I fingered through the albums and the anticipation of that first listen. Of course, when you're young and don't own a lot of records it was much easier to get to know them better.  Thanks to Mr Jaffe for the introductions.

  • I've steered my "Random Radio" from Mixcloud to JQBX starting this evening.
    Basically, it's a jukebox that uses Spotify. I think you can freely listen,
    but to join along and play stuff, you need Spotify Premium.

    The Electric Weasel Ensemble - Live at KTEH Studios (Edit1)
    The Electric Weasel Ensemble was formed in 1974 by Allen Strange (Music Easel & 200 System), Pat Strange (Music Easel, violin) and Donald Buchla (200 and 300 Buchla System). These three musicians were experienced in various aspects of music for electric instruments and wished to collaborate in the exploration and creation of new musics from this media. In 1976 the core of the ensemble was expanded to include David Morse (Music Easel, violin) and Stephen Ruppenthal (Music Easel, trumpet, bell tree). The Paris concert at the Centre Cultural Americain featured the poet Bernard Heidsieck’s Spoken Words. Stephen is currently producing a multi-volume retrospective of live and studio performances by the Electric Weasel Ensemble.

    Is this a growing trend on BC? That's twice this week I've seen a silly d/l price, as though they only want you to stream. It could be a mistake but nah surely not?

  • Very strange. Each release on the label is priced like that for some reason.
