The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

+1 on  Jimmy Scott.  What an incredible story of being rediscovered from abject poverty to performing again.  HIs "I go back home" is a tribute album and film that to me shows how much he was appreciated by people in the industry and I dig it out when I want to be emotionally moved.
