John Lennon covered on new Barry Manilow CD

Apparently Barry Manilow loves John Lennon's Work too. On his latest album, Greatest Songs of the Seventies, Barry covers The Long and Winding Road written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Also covered are artists such as Carole King and Paul Simon. Here is a sample from the new Dual CD Set:

Back From Our Long Break

We took a break for a while due to lack of time etc. But we are back and ready to continue blogging.. Our first tidbit is on Led Zeppelin... Yes Led Zeppelin!!!

Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones are reportedly in talks to play the 02 Arena with Jason Bonham filling in for his late father. Of course, this rumor rings of another recent rumor which may give it more credence or make it smell that much more fishy since it's reportedly being set up to honor the late record mogul that gave them their deal, Ahmet Ertegun. This was a big part of the last rumor that Plant dismissed. "If there was one, then there wouldn't be enough doctors to support it," Plant said back in June when the rumor first surfaced.

The Telegraph quotes a "source" saying that the deal is being worked on, "The talks are ongoing but it looks like a definite possibility. Nothing has been finalized but fingers crossed the most anticipated comeback concerts ever could become a reality."
