What I listen to when I cook and at home or on my MP5 :

 

 

Michael Jackson : This is it

 

IL Divo :  Greatest Hits

 

The Best of Broadway: Phantom of the Opera

 

Shakira :  She Wolf

 

Oldies but Goodies Collections 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s

 

The Motown Story ( this is my  favourite  music )  

 

Carlos Santana, Black Magic Woman

 

The Doors

 

The Beatles

 

I have very varied music taste running the gamut of the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and present, and in Italian, Spanish or English predominately ...

PLACIDO DOMINGO

 

 

Opera King Placido is unbelievable ... Got to see him sing with Luciano Pavoratti, several years ago at the Philharmonic in NYC -- also with José Carerrera ... they sang in Italian, English, Spanish, French --- the repertoire of traditional Christmas carols and Famed operas. FABULOUS.

 

LOVELY TO LISTEN TOO ...

Recently I've been spending a lot of time listening to 40's jazz and Big Band...and all the singers that go along with that era.  Yes, I know, I'm strange.  Hardcore Industrial and Punk one day and 40's Swing the next!!!smile.gif

Like you, Margata, I love Placido Domingo.  But BDL introduced me to someone else that I love on this thread.

Jussi Bjorling (with Robert Merrill) http://youtu.be/9ekaMQP_Fwc

 

If you like Placido, you'll love this guy.

Thanks BDL, I had never heard of him before.

D

BTW here is another P. Domingo song that I love, another Ernesto LaCuona song.  What a composer!

Joey, I love this song, but..... Sting and Miller should NEVER sing with Domingo, he just overwhelms them.  And I really like both of them.

@ Chef Ross,

 

Fifties. Fun music. I recall an older sibling real into these tunes. I had even gone to a Murray the Kaye Live Concert in NYC as a child. Super.

 

The Locomotion, Baile La Bamba - Ritchie Valenzuela, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, The Platters, Little Anthony, Little Ritchie, Little Eva and the Turkey Trot, Murray the Kaye --- 1950s greatest hits is an old time enjoyment of mine too, totally cool music.

@ Chef How: Neil Diamond, cool... Adored his music when I was a teenager ... Is he still producing music ? I have his greatest hits album. Suspicious Minds is an old time fave hit.

 

@ Indygirl: Thanks for the music tip. I shall enquire at Fnac, the largest music Department Store in Madrid.

 

Margcata.

Dave Matthews Band just released a live album from a stop on this year's Caravan. The show is from night 3 in Atlantic City at Bader Field. I was there! I have never been 'part' of a live album, so the new release has been in heavy rotation on my iTunes. Fantastic musicians!! Hoping for a full-on tour this summer... I'm going to play a gypsy and follow them around North America.

Great song!  Thank you, Joey.  I'm trying to remember the version of My Funny Valentine it was that I couldn't get enough of years ago.  I'll edit and add it if I can remember.  Might have been Leslie Uggams.

 

What a shame that we lost Whitney Houston.  She could have been the female Sinatra if she had not gotten her head messed up with drugs.  What I liked about her was that she just stood there and made music, and didn't do all that prancing around with dance numbers, etc.  She let her voice do it all.

And of course, losing Etta James was a huge loss too.  But at least she lived a good long life.

 

Meantime, here is an Etta James song, one that I think was actually improved on by Stevie Nicks.

indygal,

yes, my funny valentine is timeless...miles davis's cover gives me goosebumps.....

sadly, etta james did not escape life without the baggage of drug and alcohol addiction...for years...then she was diagnosed with leukemia and diabeties later in her life...what is amazing is that she lived as long as she did really. don't know why it seems that so many great artists are seduced by drugs, but then again i guess that's part of what seduction does.... its one of the most dangerous positions people can find themselves in ...the i'd rather get high than take care of myself position, whatever the drug of choice is ...jim morrison, janis joplin, jimi hendrix, coltrane, miles, billie, charlie parker..too many to name...so sad.....heroin has been replaced by something else, but there has always been the booze, or love.... at least in the culinary underbelly it's usually alcohol, coke and weed.

Boy there are a slew of them, aren't there?  And then all the self-destructive ones that seem to find ways to make themselves miserable no matter what.  Like Liza Minelli.  Say what you will, she is loved by so many people, and yet she finds ways to alienate fans and friends.  I think the only singers who seem to hangin there are those who eventually go into charitable work.  Getting outside themselves.   I guess that was why I was never the musician I hoped I would be.   I didn't like drugs or alcohol.  :)

 

- used to play piano - not especially well, but good enough to fool my small church.  :)  I wanted to be Horowitz and would up being "horror-witz"

Okay guys, I'm sitting on the lawn at the Wakiki Shell with a group of friends...

We have a basket of goodies, cheeses, wines, fruits, all sort of tasty treats

it's a beautiful night in paradise 

 we are watching and listening to one of the best songtresses (not counting Whitney of course)

... I use to have all of Anita Baker's LP, yes I said vinyl records, and after Ms Houston's passing it got to thinking of the gals of that time...

Please enjoy, she's great!!

I should have mentioned, that it was the 80’s that I was reminiscing about…

But I sure do wish I could be at The Waikiki Shell right about now!!

Stretched out on a nice blanket on the lawn (maybe a couple of huge cushions too), under that big starry sky, a bottle of wine and thee…

Well, geek that I am, I am going to a Theater Organ concert Sunday.  The organ is restored and housed at a high school performance center.  The organist will be a Brit, Simon Gledhill.  http://www.cicatos.org/   I have never heard him before, but understand he is good.  There is a youtube link in case anyone else here claims the geek designation besides me.  :)
