Lots of artists (Tom is a great example) are not great vocalists, but they often produce some of the best recordings.
Every time I hear Tony Martin sing, I remember the Martin and Lewis radio show of the 50s. Tony and Dean had a "croon off." It was declared a tie at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DSYZAiM-20
I am not the greatest Aretha fan, but I love this song.

Colbie Caillat - I Do.
It's always been about me, myself, and I
I thought relationships were nothing but a waste of time
I never wanted to be anybody's other half
I was happy saying I had love that wouldn't last
That was the only way I knew 'til I met you
You make we wanna say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Yeah, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it's been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I can live without it, I can let it go
Ooh what did I get myself into?
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Tell me is it only me
Do you feel the same?
You know me well enough to know that I'm not playing games
I promise I won't turn around and I won't let you down
You can trust I've never felt it like I feel it now
Baby there's nothing, there's nothing we can't get through
So can we say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it's been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
What more can I get myself into?
You make we wanna say
Me, a family, a house, a family
Ooh, can we be a family?
And when I'm eighty years old I'm sitting next to you
And we'll remember when we said
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it's been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let us go
Just look at what we got ourselves into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
Love you
God speed Endeavour on your final flight to the International Space Station,who's current crew sent a special message to Cate and Wills.
Hope you guys across the pond can watch a live feed of todays festivities.Us Brits do this sort of thing soooooooooo well.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv8h45RPNbA
Kool And The Gang - Celebration.
edgar, I really enjoyed Natural Woman by Aretha, and Harry's song about King Edward and Wally Simpson was great.
Hey, Brit. Don't know Colbie, but I Do was perfect. It is awesome that Sir Elton and his man would go to The Chapel of Love. Know that song, buddy.
Kool and the Gang's Celebration is a favorite of mine.
I watched the recessional for a bit on TV and it is impressive.
We also have royalty here this morning. Today is DUKE Ellington's birthday, so let's listen to a most unusual tribute to the man. I know the names of most of his songs. Wonder who else does.
Good evening, people. Will check in later on, perhaps. Tired just now.

That was a nice tribute to a great musician, letty.
I will be at work much of the day.
Here is one from my all time favorite country artist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsX20a8o_Sc
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
...In time, (it) goes away, everything goes away
On oublie le visage et l'on oublie la voix
...You forget the face and you forget the voice
Le cœur, quand ça bat plus, c'est pas la peine d'aller
...The heart, when it doesn't beat anymore, it's useless to
Chercher plus loin, faut laisser faire et c'est très bien
...search any further, you have to let go, and that's good.
Avec le temps...
...In time
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
...In time, it goes away, everything goes away
L'autre qu'on adorait, qu'on cherchait sous la pluie
...The other one you admired, that you searched for in the rain
L'autre qu'on devinait au détour d'un regard
...The other one that you imagined in a sideway glance
Entre les mots, entre les lignes et sous le fard
...Between the words, between the lines and under the make-up
D'un serment maquillé qui s'en va faire sa nuit
...of a painted promise, who leaves you for the night
Avec le temps tout s'évanouit
...In time, everything fades away
Avec le temps...
...In time
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
...In time, it goes away, everything goes away
Même les plus chouettes souv'nirs ça t'as une de ces gueules
...Even the dearest memories get an ugly face
A la gal'rie j'farfouille dans les rayons d'la mort
...At the shopping-mall I rummage in the death departments
Le samedi soir quand la tendresse s'en va toute seule
...Saturday evening, when tenderness flees on it's own.
Avec le temps...
...In time...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
...In time, it goes away, everything goes away
L'autre à qui l'on croyait pour un rhume, pour un rien
...The other one, that you believed in for a cold, for a nothing
L'autre à qui l'on donnait du vent et des bijoux
...The other one, to whom you gave wind, and jewelry
Pour qui l'on eût vendu son âme pour quelques sous
...For whom you would have sold your soul for a few pennies
Devant quoi l'on s'traînait comme traînent les chiens
...In front of which you crawled, like dogs do (lit.: like dogs crawl)
Avec le temps, va, tout va bien
...In time, it goes away, all goes well
Avec le temps...
...In time...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
...In time, it goes away, everything goes away
On oublie les passions et l'on oublie les voix
...You forget the passions and you forget the voices
Qui vous disaient tout bas les mots des pauvres gens
...That whispered to you poor people's words
...(Lit.: that told you in very low voice the words of poor people)
Ne rentre pas trop tard, surtout ne prends pas froid
...Don't stay out too long, take care not to catch a cold
Avec le temps...
...In time
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
...In time, it goes away, everything goes away
Et l'on se sent blanchi comme un cheval fourbu
...And you feel yourself turned white, like an exhausted horse
Et l'on se sent glacé dans un lit de hasard
...And you feel yourself frozen in this bed, that chance got you into.
Et l'on se sent tout seul peut-être mais peinard
...And you feel all alone maybe, but comfortable
Et l'on se sent floué par les années perdues
...And you feel wronged by these lost years
Alors vraiment... avec le temps... on n'aime plus
...Then really... in time... you stop to love.

Good afternoon here in Florida. I am recovering from an injury that I sustained last evening, but it didn't hurt my memory one bit.
The three songs played by the Duke's tribute were, In a Sentimental Mood, Mood Indigo, and It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got that Swing.
edgar, Loved Don Gibson's Legend in my Time. Didn't know Biff Rose's Mama's Boy, but it was nice, Texas. Thanks for the introduction.
Welcome back, Francis, and thanks for that lovely song by an equally lovely chanteuse. The translation was much appreciated. Remember Til the End of Time?
Afternoon Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K peeps.Starting at the news desk....
While London basks in the sunshine,Florida has storms....
The space shuttle Endeavour sat on Launch Pad 39A as a storm passed prior to the rollback of the Rotating Service Structure, Thursday, April 28, 2011, at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Endeavour launches on the STS-134 mission on Friday, April 29 at 3:47 p.m. EDT. During the 14-day mission, Endeavour and the STS-134 crew will deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and spare parts including two S-band communications antennas, a high-pressure gas tank.
Thank you, Francis. It's getting better. You and I have what is known as genetic memory. (no, not instinct) I know songs that I shouldn't know, and I have finally attributed that to an extension of that gene.
