Phatcat...I think the first time I heard of Eva Cassidy was during the last winter Olympics, Michelle Kwan skated to Eva's version of Sting's "Fields of Gold"... it was absolutely beautiful.

Melfie...I'm listening the her right now...and crying like a big old baby. Her voice is just incredible. I wish I had seen Michelle skating to that song. That had to be awesome. I wonder if it is archived anywhere on the net? I'm gonna check it out.

My favorite male singers are Brian McKnight and Gerald LeVert. I love Luther Vandross also. As for females...I would have to say Yolanda Adams and Cece Winans are my favorites. And I am still a fan of Whitney Houston's earlier albums (although she is acting a complete fool these days).

I love Eva Cassidy, too. I heard her on one of DirecTv's satellite music channels. When I looked her up on the web, I was shocked to read she had passed away. So sad. A gorgeous voice and, from what I've read about her, a very special and lovely person, as well.

I know if I tried to name favorite music artists, I'd go mad trying to narrow the list down to some reasonable size so I better skip that!

Lumbele:

You must be heartbroken over the death of Mo Gibb.
condolences...

Thank you, Jedisan.
Mo Gibb was not only a very talented musician but also a very special man - kind, considerate, funny - an all-around nice guy. He will be greatly missed by many.

I make my own cd's of mixed contemporary Christian music to play while I'm working at my tanning salon. I am totally surprised at how many people have commented on the music and asking me who is singing it.

madonna is my all-time favorite, if for no other reason than her staying power. she was popular when i was a little kid, and still going today. that is so cool.

right now, i am really impressed with martina mcbride. that woman can SING! she is awesome. amazing talent!

Can we combine threads about the same thing before adding new threads?

I am sorry Twinkie, was my fault, I did not see this thread. We had started discussing all music on the Rolling Stones thread, so I started this. I will be more careful in the future. :)

I am obsessed with Josh Groban! Glad to see a couple more TVClubbers like him too!

wow, what memories some of your lists bring back!!
i once had a grocery cart race with the doobie brothers, i loved the eagles ("take it to the limits" and "hotel california" were probably my favorites), fleetwood mac's 'rumours' album, bruce springsteen and the e-street band, the old bee gees (before disco)such as "i started a joke" "massachusetts", etc., ralph mctell and tom waites. in berkeley, i saw garry u.s. bonds and he drank out of my shoe! lol... i also have fond memories of hearing neil diamond's earliest songs while riding the school bus an hour each way to high school. i really like tracy chapman, willie nelson, country joe and the fish, creedence clearwater, celine dion's "the power of love"--which is especially powerful when it is the song performed to the bellagio fountains in las vegas.
from when i was a little kid: we had an intercom system in our house and it had a radio on it, too. we used to swim for hours to rock and roll. people were amazed that at age 9 or 10, i knew almost every group and could 'name that tune' in about 2 notes! from those days: definitely roy orbison, dion and the belmonts, jan and dean, chad and jeremy, gary lewis and the playboys, the beach boys, so many good groups from the late 50's and into the 60's...i was only a beatles fan for about the first half dozen of their songs. once they got to songs such as "mean mr. mustard" and "octopus's garden", they were too strange for me. give me "i wanna hold you hand"! although, when they broke up, i really enjoyed george harrison's music.

and who did i have a crush on? remember the banjo player, john hartford, from the old glen campbell show?! he was so cute. a couple of years ago, i saw some of the old shows in syndication and man, did he look too young for me!! seems like only yesterday when i was 14 and he was too old for me LOL

Wow Tabby - I agree with just about everything (not Celine Dion) you said there! especially the Beatles - I only liked their earliest stuff and it appeals to me still. My mom was so cool in the mid sixties, she bought all the latest tunes and kids from the neighbourhood would come by to listen to the best music! We knew all the groups and all the lyrics. I still love to hear that stuff, old Bee Gees give me goosebumps and Roy can still make me cry

Male singers - Brian McKnight, Luther Vandross and Will Downing

Female singer - Teena Marie (damn, this woman can bring me to tears every time!)

Group would be New Edition and Van Halen (Dave or Sammy only)

sweetbaby, how old are you? i have only heard of luther vandross and van halen on your list!! ;>)

dahli, i do not like all of celine's music. just that one song. it was incredible to see the fountains play to it. they looked like ballet dancers waving across the man-made 'lake' they made at the bellagio casino. hard to explain, but neat.
when i lived in quebec, my french canadian boyfriend was also a dion and his dad was one of 12 brothers who all lived up near/along the gaspe--so i always felt a little connection because celine may well have been his cousin.

Ok, I'm dating myself with this choice but...
Don McLean's Classic hits. We bought the CD for our daughter at Christmas. She loves the Bye Bye Miss American Pie commercial, which as everyone knows is sung by Don McLean. This CD has brought back wonderful memories for me. My favorite song besides American Pie has always been Starry Starry Night. =)

Oh Texannie, I love Bon Jovi. He is so hot. I have to find out when they are going to be in New York.

But my favorite group is
Crosby Stills Nash & Young

Ginger, CSN (no Y) played at a private party I went to this Christmas..they were awful! Their speakers were up so high and their harmonies just weren't there at all.

I guess they were having a bad night. I have seen them many times Texannie I have seen them with and without Y, but always were perfect.

Texannie

Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 02:33 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I was so disappointed. I have seen them many times too, dating back to 1972! The only thing I can think of was that it was such a small place, but you would think that would make them sound better. I really felt very sorry for the host.

Right now, I'm diggin' Coldplay. I can always listen to Dean Martin. Love Norah Jones too. Stereolab, Talk Talk, Zep, Floyd, GoGos, Aerosmith up until they sobered up...I just can't narrow it down. LOVE Aimee Mann.

Elvis Presley he's the best of them all. After being dead since 1977 he has a #1 cd out, and has sold more records then anyone else.

Oh, Texannie that is so awesome! I think Bon Jovi is going to be in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area sometime soon before or after that.

Bon Jovi is one of my faves, as well as Aerosmith, Van Halen, Motley Crue and CHEAP TRICK!!!!

Who can name just one? I'd say my long-standing favorites are Joan Armatrading, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Luther Vandross, and Bonnie Raitt. The newbies are Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, and Train. And there are many more in my collections.

sbg, i just saw your post about teena marie, she is my FAVORITE female singer. she can blow. dh and some friends and i saw her in concert 2yrs ago(i think) with the SOS band, they were awesome and, and teena, there are just no words to describe how her voice can move you. she sounds better than the cd if anyone can believe that. she can sang. i also love kelly price and deborah cox, whitney back in the day, patti labelle, tamia, india arie.

now for male singers, my top fav is r. kelly, his chocolate factory is tha bomb on so many levels, i also love ronnie isley, gerald levert(saw him in concert too, he was just too much), musiq, brian mcknight, gosh so many others that i just can't think of right now.
