Most achingly-beautiful music

Casssandra Wilson-Harvest Moon, Jane Siberry-Taxi Ride, Bill Evans-Peace Piece.

Ella Fitzgerald singing "I Loves You Porgy" on her 40th birthday concert recording

Stevie Wonder singing "You and I" on Innervisions

The Beatles "Something"

Luciano Pavarotti singing the aria "Nessum Dorma" from Turandot

World Saxophone Quartet peforming "Ming" on Revue

Joan Baez singing "All My Trials" on her first eponymous Vanguard LP

Cesaria Evora singing "Sodade" from Miss Perfumado

John Coltrane playing "Naima" from Giant Steps

Does this kind of list actually have an end?

Too many classical pieces to mention but in the rock world,"Soon","And you and I","Close to the Edge" from Yes,"Afterglow","Ripples" and "Your Own Special Way" from Genesis,and "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" from Pink Floyd aways get my emotions flowing.

Tiny Tim: Tip Toe Through The Tulips (LOL)

Miles davis, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Byrd, Santana

These guys could speak beatiful words through the playing of their individual instruments.

Some may laugh at this one, but oh well! A few years ago, I think it was the Grammy Awards, Lucianno Pavorotti was to perform but became ill at the last minute. Aretha Franklin volunteered to sing the same piece of music and did so. I've never been more moved by a vocal performance before or since. It may have been a combination of the circumstances plus Ms. Franklin's unbelievable voice. I have no explanation. It was truly moving as well as achingly-beautiful.
