Full agreement. I fell for all of Nancy's music when I first heard it, so long ago. Everyone needs to give that one a listen! Here's one I like: Shirley Bassey "this is my life". In black and white, a VERY powerful performance of a young Shirley up and comer! Excellent post idea, Larry!
YouTube Favorites to share.
As some of you already know, I'm a big fan of YouTube. Just the other night, I went there while on the phone with a new girl friend, sharing some favorite music of mine. She was pretty stunned at some of the beautiful music that she'd never heard before--that got me to thinking.
I'm going to list a couple of really great YouTube experiences for you guys and gals to peruse...maybe we can all find new music together. BTW, YouTube is a great place to 'check out' new performers that I read about here, so I can gauge if in general, their particular 'sound' is something I might like.
Here are just a couple to start with--it would be great for everyone to throw in the exact names so we can all share.
Please note--there may be multiple 'versions' so also include the video 'clue' of what picture shows up on the one you're reccommending so we'll all be on the same page.
Nancy Wilson 'Guess Who I Saw Today'
It's the one that shows a black and white of a glass or martini glass on a table...starts in a '50's scene of a husband coming home...Wonderful video and music, with a 'twist'.
Nancy Wilson Cannonball Adderley 'The Masquerede is Over'
The Album cover shows, Nancy in a yellow dress standing next to Cannonball, holding his Alto Sax. No video, but maybe some of the most lyrical piano work I've ever heard by Joe Zawinul.
I'll bow with just this these and wait to hear from others. This should be loads of fun and a great way to help us all share our love of music and performances.
Good listening,
Larry
