Singers you like

I liked the second selection better than the first. I particularly liked the instrumentation and the music.

Sarah Vaughn did a take on "I'll Be Seeing You" that didn't make it to Live at the Tivoli but did to a budget CD called the Ultimate Sarah selected by Dee Dee Bridgewater. At 5:05 it is almost acapella backed up with a subdued trio. I am not sure I have heard anyone else maintain a song with so little else going on and make it sound so wonderful.

Neo-classical, anyone?

A little heads up about Sarah Vaughan she never sang a song the same way twice. Her Montreal 83 rendition is one of the best performances I know of. Also you tube James Brown and Pavarotti, not sure about the spelling, this is a mans world. Stellar performance.

Just received two awesome CDs today from B&N. Both with unique singers and voices.

1. The Staple Singers - The Best of the VEE-JAY years.
A young staples family. Very unique sound. Great songs. Great CD cover photo. Miss Marvis as a teenager!

2. Erich Kunzel / Cincinnati Pops Orch - ROUND-UP
This is an awesome CD, great western themes and music. The great Frankie Laine doing Vocals. This is truly America's Classical Music. You ain't got it, git it! I ordered the SACD version, but received the red-book version, even it has 'warning' labels on it concerning volume. It's a Telarc, so the difference between sacd and redbook is nil. Outstanding Sound. Be sure your high-end speakers can take it. :)
