Chis Connor

Chris Connor was one of my faves, she did not record enough to suit me, but just listen to that velvet voice...

Barry White and Pavrotti

I love Barry White's voice, so I could not resist, I must have posted this before....and again a thanks to Pavrotti for his genorosity of spirit, making music like this ties the generations and more.  Maybe Barry White would have been a great opera singer?  Who knows ?

The magic of music!

Who would have thought, James Brown, the big orchestra and Pavrotti!  A  thank you Pavrotti for your contribution to the wonders of music, joining with our pop singers to prove it!

Tom Waits

I wonder if he would consider singing some of the classic old songs?  His voice might fit some of them very well.  ??

Sea of Love..movie and song, Al Pacino

Watched this movie this weekend, and loved the song presented by Tom Waits....love his growly voice.  Great interpretation !

The movie is an oldie I had seen before, but easy to watch again, I even forgot who the murderer was, until ....
