Music that really stirs your emotions

ok, I know all music is suppose to stir your emotions . . . but stick with me.

I put the original Boz Scaggs album on the TT this morning. This has always been one of my favorites - I played it constantly while in college in the mid-70's, but haven't listened to it in over a year. Side 2 is one of the best album sides aver recorded IMO - the sequence of songs is perfect. Anyway, It's unavoidable to get sucked into "Loan me a Dime" from the beginning (foot tapping, head bobbing, etc), but about 3/4's of the way through Duane Allman's solo I begin to giggle uncontrollably. Then after all that, it goes into "Sweet Release", which really does help release all that energy from the prior track.

What music most stirs emotions for you - whether it's giggling, crying, or ?

Was given a Nina Simone album, Let It All Out, which had The Other Woman and The Ballad of Hollis Brown. Had never heard them before but the impact is strong and effective. She is a very good Dylan interpreter surprisingly at least to me.

Also Carmen McRae on I Am Music the song, Who Gave You Permission, it's strong enough to clear a room
