THE VINCE MELOUNEY SECT
“Women (Make You Feel Alright)”
Burger Records (2020)
“Women (Make You Feel Alright)” is the new digital single by Australian guitarist Vince Melouney who was a member of The Bee Gees during the band’s initial wave of worldwide popularity from 1967 to 1969.
“Women” was originally recorded by Vince’s mates The Easybeats in 1966. Vince’s version was recorded earlier this year with legendary producer Shel Talmy whose credits include The Easybeats’ “Friday On My Mind” in addition to classic tracks by The Kinks, The Who, The Creation and others. “Women” features Vince on vocal and lead guitar, joined by Clem Burke of Blondie on drums, Jonathan Lea of The Jigsaw Seen on additional guitars, Alec Palao on bass and Paul Kopf on backing vocals. Alec and Paul are members of the San Francisco-based band Strangers In A Strange Land and also play in the current version of veteran Garage Rock band The Seeds.
As a member of The Bee Gees, Vince appeared on seven US Top 20 singles; “New York Mining Disaster 1941,” “To Love Somebody,” “Holiday,” “Massachusetts,” “Words,” “I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You” and “I Started A Joke” plus five US Top 20 albums; “Bee Gees’ First,” “Horizontal,” “Idea,” “Odessa” and “Best Of Bee Gees.”
Vince’s television appearances with The Bee Gees include “The Ed Sullivan Show,” “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” and “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh- In” in the US, “Top Of The Pops” in the UK and “Beat Club” in Germany.
Vince appears in The Bee Gees’ forthcoming official documentary produced by Frank Marshall (“Raiders Of The Lost Ark,” “Back To The Future”) and Nigel Sinclair (“The Beatles: Eight Days A Week,” “George Harrison: Living In The Material World.”) This film will be released by Universal Music Group later this year.
Released by Burger Records, “Women” is now available at digital music stores and streaming services.
