VIDEO INFO: For the relatively uninitiated (myself included), this an informative and revealing BBC Television documentary from 2017 about an enigmatic star, who despite his iconic status has remained slightly mysterious and maybe his loss slightly overshadowed by what must have been a bewildering decade of competing premature rock fatalities (he died exactly a month after Elvis). I always felt his image, which I encountered primarily through the prism of a handful of hits performed on ‘Top Of The pops’ type output, seemed slightly lightweight - as close to David Essex as David Bowie. However, this programme unveils a far more driven, complex and accomplished musician and lyricist than I had expected. Including a range of contributions from notable contemporaries such as 'Whispering' Bob Harris, producer Tony Visconti and Toyah Willcox; the narrative is constructed from extracts of his own diary read aloud by an actor, which risks being a slightly unfair technique because like many diaries, it may well not have been intended for broadcast and vague sentiments can be given artificial weight when taken out of context. It portrays a man with a consistent, conceited vanity; but that could perhaps be said of the majority of young men before reaching their 30s (he was only 29 years old when he died as the passenger of an Austin Mini in a slightly suburban but no less tragic car accident) and certainly most creative types.

Furthermore, under United Kingdom copyright law; ‘Fair Dealing’ is an exception which allows for the use of copyrighted works without licensing in certain circumstances. It is governed by Sections 29 and 30 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, which provide three types of situation in which fair dealing is a valid defence: (i) where the use is for the purposes of research or private study, (ii) where it is to allow for criticism or review, and (iii) where it is for the purpose of reporting current events.
Sufficient acknowledgement to the original author is also necessary for all works where the fair dealing exception is applied. Under Section 30(3), however, this is not required for reporting via a sound recording, film or broadcast where it would be "impossible for reasons of practicality or otherwise".

VIDEO INFO: [aka Im Easy] ...Fulfilling all criteria of a quality cover version, Lionel Richie’s classic composition was introduced to a whole new audience with a contemporary sheen but a minimum of corruption. Released in 1992, 15 years on from the Commodores original and probably their best-known track outside of the US, it’s performed here at the Dutch ‘Pinkpop’ Festival at Megaland in Landgraaf on 5 June 1995.
