Cry me a river

I know this is a vry touchy subject but was just wondering how many of the Audiogoners have been overwhelmed by a particular piece of music and have shed a tear or two?

If you could give the information about the music that would also be great which actually would go down as music which could touch your soul in a way no other has. We may just compline a list of "Most touchy music that you have heard"

For me it has been the following:

Recent:
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven

Once upon a time:
If you leave me now - Chicago
I'm not in love - 10cc

George Benson- The Greatest Love of All

Donny Hathaway- "We're Still Friends" from Donny Hathaway Live ATCO SD 33-386

Can't play these when anyone is around. And I change the station if Benson's rendition comes on the radio.

Meanwhile, Whitney Houston's version of The Greatest Love of All does absolutely nothing for me. Go figure.

Speaking of live. I was at my dad's funeral last week and a guy played Amazing Grace on a cello. The bad news was I had to give the eulogy right after that. It was a tough act to follow. So I`m not looking forward to hearing that song again in the near future. By the way, Dad knew the Lord. Dan

The most emotional I've become around my stereo is when I munched my 2 month old Dynavector needle while trying to readjust the belt on the turntable motor.

I'm still not over it.

Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen ;-)

Freddie Mercury was soo good. A shame we lost him.
