That's encouraging but I doubt there will be much new there for VH fans."Nothing gets a yak over a suspension bridge faster than 'Back in the Saddle Again' by Aerosmith" ~ DLR -
Now that we are all getting older it's funny to think that Ted's career ended in 1988 when he was 44.Comment

"Black Water" was one of the Doobies' biggest hits. I would have thought it was a hit internationally as well, although maybe the sound wasn't compatible with radio airplay elsewhere. It was sort of a country/delta blues vibe as opposed to typical rock n roll. The way the vocals were recorded on it though... classic Ted Templeman production. Similar to what he would do with the Van HALEN records later.
There was a rumor going around a few years back that Van Halen was supposedly recording a cover of this song, even an alleged documentation of the tune being listed among VH's published titles at Warner Music. The alleged recording never materialized, so it was probably bullshit, but I could actually hear them doing this song.... at least if Sobolewski was still around for the vocal parts.Eat Us And Smile

Ted Templeman Says Sammy Hagar Is Best Rock Singer on the Planet
“Sammy’s a helluva singer. Sammy may be the best singer out there. Period,” Templeman proclaimed.
“To me, he’s a combination of Robert Plant and James Brown. That guy can sing like nobody. I’m telling
you, nobody. I’m talking just as a singer. He doesn’t know how good he is even. The guy is, I think, the
best rock singer on the planet. Period.”
Like twona, I'll be checking torrents for this one.Originally posted by sadaistComment

lol I was on YouTube the other day and one of the recommendations was Trunk's top 5 singers. I randomly clicked on the timeline and Trunk is gushing over Hagar. I mean, wipe the jizz off your face, Eddie...didn't listen to the rest of the list.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment
