Born To Be Wild



Hear a thousand musicians perform Steppenwolf's classic "Born To Be Wild" in Paris. The organization Rockin' 1000 has made quite a splash since their first gig in Italy in 2015. They play all over the world, giving dedicated musicians a chance to make music with their peers and for the rest of us. This group that assembled in Paris skews much older than previous versions of Rockin' 1000, maybe because the song was a hit in 1968. And again a few times since then.

Well wasn't this a rabbit hole of awesomeness. Spent some time on their website and then went to their YouTube channel. It was a tossup between Bohemian Rhapsody and Smells Like Teen Spirit. For me, Nirvana wins that battle every time.

Vocals in this song need "gravel" which a multitude of voices (as opposed to one singer) just don't have. Fun though. Always enjoy the videos.
