WA2K Radio is now on the air

Here's a name that's new to me....

Stacey Kent - Samba Saravah.

She appears on the radio with the BBC Big Band.

Sings standards.

Clear diction- I like that in a singer

This bossa must be a new departure.

Nice

Room on the radio for more bossa? Always nice.

Bebel Gilberto - Mais Feliz.

Good morning. Heat advisory through Friday here. See ya all later.

You PD/Producer didn't sleep too well last evening. A bit concerned over tropical storm Emily. Keep getting mixed messages.

Hurry back, edgar. You, too, Brit and McTag.

About the only song I knew by Barry was Ramsey Lewis

Loved every single song by Stacey Kent, so I found this about the lady.

Kent attended Newark Academy in Livingston, New Jersey. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in New York, and moved to England after her graduation. While studying at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, she met the tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson, whom she married on August 9, 1991.

In the early 1990s, Kent began her professional career singing regularly in a popular nightspot, Café Boheme in London's Soho. After two or three years, Kent began opening for established jazz acts across the road at the Ronnie Scott's nightclub in London.

Wonder if Bebel Gilberto is any kin to Astrud?

Odd one by The Ramsey Lewis trio.

Good afternoon.

Bette

I know that version of Hard Day's Night, letty. Good one

Welcome back, edgar. I really like Tony Orlando's Sweet Gypsy Rose. Was really surprised that Bette Midler did Mambo Italiano. Love it.

Thanks again for your comment on the Ramsey Lewis trio.

Well, today must be dance day on WA2K.

Thinking of Richie Valens, so how about this one.

Good samba, letty. Here is Richie. He wrote this song to his future wife, during a time her parents did not want him coming around.

Ah, Donna. How very down beat, edgar. Dear Richie. Incidentally, the guy I met from Jamacia lived in New York as well. He was a subway man.

Another rather down beat song

Buffy

Illuminations by Buffy was strange, edgar. I like her, however.

Let's dance some more and get off our sad kick.

Love this.

and the lyrics

I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire

Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning
I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me??. the kiss of fire!!!

I know Kiss of Fire. Good song.

Eydie

I had forgotten that one by Eydie, edgar. Are she and Steve still together? Always enjoyed them and Blame it on The Bossa Nova is a great one.

I need to stop worrying, I guess.



From Art, my goodnight song.

Nice to have our Brit and our Scott with us today,

From Letty with love to everyone

Good Garfunkle, letty

Gonna Find Me a Bluebird

Morning Ms Letty,Ed and all WA2K folks.Wow,some really good music was played while I had my nose to the grindstone.
Ramsey' Hard Days Night strikes a chord
Samba - Slow Dance - Ohhhhhhh how I wish I could.At the last count I still had 2 left feet.
Dennis and The Boys Forever,while not perfect,is pretty close.Re Brian's final high note - did someone poke him in the eye or did he just see a mouse?
Eydie's Bossa Nova,if heard at work,would get me "dancing" on the factory floor.
Lovely version of Dire Straits' Why Worry by Tom (Mr Garfunkel).

A long time ago,Johnny met Cleo....

Wanna do the salsa with Letty.

Someone suggest a sizzling latin song

My favourite is Mais Que Nada, but it's a bit fast to sizzle. Good for wiggling, though.

Hello The Prince, how long must it be?? ?? ??

This one's better. The dance of lurve.
