Billie Holiday - If You Were Mine

This is the style that I think Amy Winehouse emulated...and it was right for her...

Frank Sinatra & Tommy Dorsey - Imagination

Today a strange event.  I was listening to Sirius in the car, Sinatra station 71...I thought it sounded like Sammy Davis, and I looked at the title in my car radio, surprised to see it was Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey, I forgot the song, but at the end he stretched to hit a high note....just listen to Sinatra fitting himself to the rhythm of Tommy Dorsey.. it is the Tommy Dorsey beat, sound etc...and he is fitting his voice to that...then listen to the Nelson Riddle years...everything changes...I think Frank is the best example of finding your own voice.  He was great with Dorsey, but with Nelson Riddle, I don't think anyone can argue, it was RIGHT!

Walk the Line ~~Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon

there is something special about this musical...the stars are great and the music, super

Sonny James - Running Bear

 Remember this one, even Pat Boone sang it...although it says Sonny James, it sounds to me like Pat "Boone

Johnny Mathis - It's Not For Me To Say (Original Stereo)

Back in 1957, this was the love song that played on car radio's, portable cassette radio at the beach or picnics.  Johnny Mathis hey day!

I don't know how to love him

Here is a school girl with the same song that the great artists are doing, uninfluenced on the emphasis, and her vocal quality is much better at the lower scale for the song....do you agree?  But, then ...what do I know....I just think there is potential here.

Elaine Paige - I don't know how to love him

this is interesting, because of all the versions, hers is the least harsh....listen to the start...."I don't know how to LOVE him"  her love is tempered it is not harsh, but i fyou listne to Hellen reddy and others, they emphasize the love and it is too shrill in the start.

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) (11HQ) I Dont Know How To Love Him (((Ste...

When this movie came out over 30 years ago, it was shocking to some, and to some sacrilegious.  I wondered why we could not appreciate it, for it did not change the story , it just presented it , in the future, as artists often depicted  scenes of the crucifixion in the era in which they painted.  The creativity and some of the music was spectacular.  I did not like all the ties to modernity, but, I appreciated the film, and especially this song.

Dreams: wisdom, power, insight, magic, mystery, sincerity

Doors are opened into secrets through dreams and the magic of what happens as you near death, and life review.  A peek into the quantum world that is coming our way, as we begin to  understand the magic of life, sound and light.  See if you agree with me on my Chapter on the Resurrection, in my first novel, Secrets of the Heart, available at Amazon.

The Tibetan Rainbow Body & the Christian Resurrection

The Tibetan Rainbow Body & the Christian Resurrection  I have written about this before in past blogging.  I can't recommend it high enough on your learning curve.   I gasped when I  first read  Father Tiso, because his studies are fantastic.  I was always suspecting that light has / had something to do with our impressions of the world, I felt vindicated in my experience, as I read it and it motivated the chapter on the Resurrection in my book, Secrets of the Heart
