Music I have never got bored of

On a sad Note.... Legendary heavy metal band Black Sabbath is now selling T-Shirts for Black Live Matter and donating the proceeds to this extension of the DNC. They might as well endorse defunding the Police and Dementia Joe. FU OZZY! Speaking of dementia, he should be Bidens running mate.

Oooh, thank you Crowie, I'll listen now :)

Time to revive this dying thread with some different music.....the very talented Janelle Monae with "Tightrope".

youtu.be/pwnefUaKCbc

A brief interlude.
@Ironside
J'espere que tu aime ca..... :-)
Black M with "Je suis chez moi".

Last one from me tonight.
This is the extremely talented American girl, Janelle Monae again with a song called "Cold War",performed live at The Glastonbury Festival in 2011.

Blimey, Mods are quick tonight..... embeded videos already deleted...... :-)

Its so worth it, huh?

Obviously not............. :-(

I do quite like her music, but to me she is very reminiscent of Janet Jackson.

Celeste is relatively new but I do like her music:

Celeste - Stop This Flame

Love this too.....

Nina Simone - I put a spell on you

Fever! Love it, haven't heard that for ages! And Etta James! Our musical tastes are so similar kaprys! To be honest I didn't think anyone would appreciate Nina Simone!

Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Do you like Billie Holiday?

Happy B-Day USA!

youtu.be/MwIymq0iTsw

Yeah, Happy Birthday to all my American friends!!!!

@Chemikiem
I love this song!

As for Billie Holiday, the song that really moves me is Strange Fruit - and her emotions when she sings it. Heartbreaking.

Some other songs of this genre that I like:

Arletha and Natural Woman

youtu.be/dEWuAcMWDLY

Otis Redding The Dock of the Bay

youtu.be/rTVjnBo96Ug

Ray Charles Hit the Road

youtu.be/0rEsVp5tiDQ

Sarah Vaughan Whatever Lola Wants

youtu.be/QvcaSBN82ns

And I absolutely love Black Coffee -I like Peggy Lee's and Sarah's interpretations (just checked my previous post to see if I included it and saw that the auto correct played with 'Fever' ;)

youtu.be/GVnrEh56f_g

What is wonderful is that a lot of these songs were performed by different artists and they sound great in different interpretations.

Just like Cicha woda brzegi rwie - a cheerful innocent song from the sixties got a new meaning when Maleńczuk recorded it.
I actually have a similar example when it comes to English language songs but since my post is rather lenghty I'll keep it for the next time.

Fever, I love it too! I listen to it once a year

No, Afric Simone is better!

@pawian
I liked the first song, the second one is interesting. I kind of know the tune but I don't know if from that song really.

As for covers, amazing Nick Cave and Something' Gotten Hold of my Heart

Galija - "Možda sam lud"

Lidija - "Ko si ti?"

Very much so. She has a voice full of pathos. I have to be in the mood for Billie Holiday though, some of her songs make me feel sad.

Billie Holiday - Lady Sings The Blues

Billie Holiday - Summertime

I love Ray Charles! I rarely go to the cinema because I have to really want to see a film, but I went to see ' Ray' when it was released. It's a great film if you haven't seen it and get the chance:

Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind

youtu.be/fRgWBN8yt_E

Ray Charles - What'd I Say

youtu.be/EPLZL4s_jtI

I love Sarah Vaughan too, and Aretha and Otis are on a playlist on my phone.


Yep. 'Summertime' for example has been covered loads of times, most famously by Miles Davis perhaps, but I also liked versions by Ella Fitzgerald and Janis Joplin. Sarah Vaughan also did a version.

Listening to these artists is like going back to my childhood. My mother was the jazz and blues fan so I grew up listening to this music. Takes me back to a time of watching old black and white movies curled up on the sofa. Still love doing that now.


Hahaha! Haven't heard any Judas Priest for a long time now!


I didn't know Nick Cave had done a cover of this! I always think of Gene Pitney and later, Marc Almond.

Although all of these songs are great 'Georgia' is definely my favourite.

As for 'Something's Gotten Hold of my Heart' the first time I heard it was actually in Pitney and Almond's version. Years later I found out it was a cover and just several years ago a friend showed me Cave's version.

Just like 'Always on my Mind' the first version I kind of knew was probably Pet Shop Boys' ;)

youtu.be/7vReiAo5t4k

My favourite Aretha song is 'Don't play that song for me '

youtu.be/6ktFUwPGWag

As for Ray Charles 'Hit the road Jack'

youtu.be/tqR8zO0vpG8

Mine was Elvis.....

Another song I've always loved, by both Dusty and Aretha:

Lightnin' Hopkins seems great - never heard of him before.
As for Country Roads I like the original version.
As for covers and original recordings, I first knew I Will Follow Him from Sister Act and it was just quite recently that I got to know Peggy March's version. And she was just a teenager when she recorded it. Her voice was really great for a kid really. And due to fashion back then she doesn't look like a teenager - at least in terms of how I see it now.

youtu.be/jgPMYQTINNk

Very popular in the early 70's.
I have several hours of his music on my reel to reel. (Does that age me)
Papa John Creach was very popular at that time too.
