Ooh!

I feel an online order coming on.

Murky bow coops.

When i was a child, a very popular, successful singer was the bass-baritone Tennessee Ernie Ford. Here he sings a classic American folk song:

While we re on the river, with bass-baritones, here's a great song from Showboat (the 1936 motion picture) based on Edna Ferber's novel. This is sung by the great Paul Robeson.

Here, let's hear from another Welshman (we heard Bryn Terfel earlier), and from the Chieftains again:

amazing also is to look at Leon Russell.

Here's Willie Nelson singing his best..with unadorned by tons of studio fancy backing ... simple arrangements with Willie upfront and with a few clear acoustic instruments. He's a national treasure.

Let this whole clip play through.....the first clip is "You Were Always On My Mind" ....one of his best versions...on the third song it includes Patsy singing one of the greatest versions of Crazy



Then on 4th song, there's Willie singing (Ray Charles classic) and playing the sweetest guitar "You Don't Know Me"

When people decide to listen to Harry Belafonte, they almost invariably pick one of four songs - Banana Boat, Jamaica Farewell, Island in the Sun and the one from Beetlejuice, a song from the album Jump up Calypso. His album simply titled Calypso was the first RCA album to sell a million copies.

He co-authored this one.

There it is!

Also, Leon.

I love Von Smith!

I think I learned about Paoli Nutini from the Guardian.

This article is not what I remember, I just remember a few songs in some guardian videos, but I was interested.

quoting,
Paolo Nutini review – just frayed at the edges enough to believe
Usher Hall, Edinburgh
Leaving the acoustic balladeer of his teenage years behind him, an unvarnished Nutini seems increasingly like the real deal

eh! but I remember liking him et al.

Good one! Very cool.

Here's quite a different version:

Joe Jackson's song made a huge impression on us Vonny.
It was just about the first New Wave we had heard and our band quickly learned two others from the Look Sharp album: One More Time and Sunday Papers.

Willis Alan Ramsey wrote a song that was a hit for Captain & Tenille called Muskrat Love.

Here's a gorgeous love song from his one and only album.
It's called Angel Eyes

Ben E. King, with Leiber and Stoller wrote, and then he performed one of the greatest songs ever written. "Stand by Me" has been covered more than 400 times. (I particularly liked John Lennon's version on his Rock 'n' Roll album.)

I know....

So young! And so "relaxed"!



A Poem is a Naked Person.

Peace, man.

CC Rider.....That's the version that I know, but edgar's one is definitely cooler.

The Animals have taken it and crossbred it with a bit of Booker T, by the sounds.

CC Rider meets Green Onions.
