Aretha Franklin - Who's Zoomin Who

Perhaps the greatest singer of our generation.  I picked this CD because I am always knocked out by her Another Night, but could have easily picked out others. 
 
 

 









 

Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis

It is very hard to write about Dusty now.  Her recent death was a great loss for all of us.  What a voice, sexy, sultry.  This CD is a classic.  So many good cuts.  My personal favorites are I Dont want to Hear it Anymore , Son of a Preacher Man, Breakfast in Bed, No Easy Way Down.......oh ...well......love em all. Her collections are wonderful, but this is truly a classic.

Emmy Lou Harris - Wrecking Ball

Emmy Lou has been around for a long time and has maintained an incredible musical integrity.  Whether listening to her harmonies from the sixties or her original folk solo albums, her duets with Graham Parsons, or her wonderful country albums, you are in for a treat. I love Emmy Lou for branching out in this venture and I love all the songs.  See what u think.
 

 

Karla Bonoff - New World

The album that makes my lover cry.  Songs filled with emotion.  Many have been recorded by others, but surprising that her versions havent become hits. How Long, Goodbye My Friend, Tell Me Why, and many more.  Very consistently good collection of songs and a surprisingly strong voice.
 

 

 

Laura Nyro - Eli and the Thirteenth Confession

One of the great sixties singer song writers  Her songs were hits by others, but never done as well as she does them. Listen to non hits such as Emily or Lonely Women and discover a wonderful voice full of emotion and soul.  I hope you will fall in love with her as I did.  Unfortunately her untimely death has robbed us of any new material.  Enjoy what we have!
 

 







 

Linda Ronstadt - Heart Like a Wheel

A classic album by a wonderful singer.  This CD includes the hits You're No Good and When Will I be Loved.  But some of my favorites include Faithless Love, Dark End of the Street, Willing, and You Can Close Your Eyes. To me, the highlight  is the title song - Heart Like a Wheel written by Anna McGarrigle.  With lyrics like .....Its only love that can wreck a human being and turn him inside out.......love it.  Also, listen for some wonderful background singers - Maria Muldaur, Cissy Houston and Emmy Lou Harris among them.
 

 








 

Nancy Wilson - With My Lover Beside Me

Well, between Randy and Nancy it is hard for me to pick my favorite singer. So I wont.  Love them both.  I have about 10 of Nancy's CD's and I love them all, but I particularly love these songs.  Her voice is perfect for these songs. With My Lover Beside Me and When October Goes are particular favorites.
 

 

Randy Crawford - Secret Combination

Randy, Randy, Randy.  I just love this voice.It was hard to decide between this and her current CD.Trade Winds is my lover's favorite.You Bring the Sun Out, You Might Need Somebody, Thats How Heartaches are Made are just fabulous. Definitely would want Randy with me on a desert island. If you enjoy her hit Street Life at all....try more and you will be hooked.
 

 

 
Tina Turner - Private Dancer

I have always loved Tina.  So I was so happy when this "comeback" CD was a big hit.  Everyone knows Whats Love Got to Do With It, Private Dancer, Love Will Keep Us Together.  Every cut is wonderful.  You should own this CD.
 

 

Betty Buckley -  The London Concert

Betty is my favorite current Broadway performer.  Anyone who can shine in a disaster like Carrie is a gem. This CD has a wonderful mix of songs.  However, the main reason I picked this was for the song Over You.......a terrific song..... Any fool can see that love is blind....I hope that isnt pity in your eyes.....One more cuppa coffee then I'll go....mmmmm.....have to love those lyrics and the delivery.  Other favorites include Just One Look, Marry Me a Little, Rose's Turn and Unchanined Melody.  A must have CD!!!
