Had to Sing 2 OCTAVES Above his RANGE When Band RECORDED Song in WRONG Key…Hit #1!-Professor of Rock

Coming up….the story of one of the first power ballads: Love Hurts. This one originated during a stormy time for The Everly Brothers, one the most prolific sibling acts in recorded music history. GET THIS... Love Hurts was covered DOZENS OF times by some huge artists but It was NEVER a hit until the Scottish rookie band Nazareth recorded the definitive version. And even then, it struggled to find an audience before blowing up around the globe. We’re going to talk about how this Love Hurts finally got its due, and…and how Nazareth with the spectacular lead vocals of Dan McCafferty was erroneously pronounced DEAD after one of the most notorious plane crashes of the Rock Era. But in the end… it was fake news….the story of this 70s hard rock classic is NEXT on Professor of Rock.

So, what do you think was the first power rock ballad? Some might say it's "Dream On" by Aerosmith, or maybe "Lady" by Styx. But in this episode, we're telling the story of another contender: "Love Hurts" by Nazareth: Nazareth, the Scottish band hailing from Dunfermline, took their name from a line in the song "The Weight" by The Band, where Robbie Robertson sings, "I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling about half dead.” During their peak years, the core lineup of Nazareth included Dan McCafferty on lead vocals and talk box, Manny Charlton on lead guitar and synths, Pete Agnew on bass, and Darrell Sweet on drums.

Nazareth came together in ’68 with all four members holding down day jobs while dreaming of rock stardom. Pete Agnew, the sole surviving original member, worked for an architect, Dan was an engineer, Darrell was an accountant, and Manny was a radar specialist in the dockyards for the Navy. Though their day jobs were respectable, they aimed for more than just playing weekend gigs at any pub that had an open slot. Their aspiration was to break free from the working-class grind and live the life of full-fledged rock stars. It took 6 albums for Nazareth to score a breakout in America. They did it with the highly influential LP, Hair of the Dog, featuring the high-octane title track with the bold anthemic chorus…”Now you’re messin with a…son of a .”

And Dan McCafferty busting out the “talk box” in the song’s electrifying bridge: The band’s use of the “talk box,” an invention of sound engineer Bob Heil, was a pretty novel concept. Nazareth was one of the first to incorporate it on a recording, but it came about a year after Joe Walsh’s prominent unveiling of the effects unit on “Rocky Mountain Way.” Hair of the Dog also featured Nazareth’s surprisingly powerful re-interpretation of “Love Hurts:”
So get this…Before Nazareth remade “Love Hurts”
