Adele always gets my attention, as does Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bluble and the early rockers like Queen, Chicago, Credence Clearwater Revival and like every other older woman, love Josh Groban (sp on all these names???) I grew up on soul music, but for some reason am not a 50's fan, far preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Greene, and those similar/R&B/soul.

I'm probably one of the only people in the free world that hasn't seen GREASE. It's on TV all the time, but I have no interest in that style music. Am I weird or what?
 
I'm in love with Chris Issak. The song, the funny thing, is he wrote is because he saw a mom telling her little kid they did something wrong and she said "Baby did a bad bad thing" Chris took that line and ran with it.

 
I've posted my favorites....and it's OLD R & B. If you have the time or interest, GOOGLE Billy Ward & the Dominos singing 60 MINUTE MAN. That's the music I grew up on this music and we do a synchronized dance to it called "the Shag." LOL And it's a dance (started & remains in the Carolina's predominately, called beach music). It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the California Beach Boys -- night and day difference. Ours started at black clubs in Myrtle Beach back in the 40's and caught on with the white folk who sneaked it and started the craze that continues to this day. If you go to the Carolina beaches, you'll see "Shag nightspots" everywhere. And knowing the meaning of the British term, we've taken way more than our share of teasing, believe me.:)

I would rather watch couples who have been dancing together a long time & do this dance well shagging than almost any other pastime. For a few recent decades, it was considered an old fart's dance (my era,) but now has it caught on greatly with the teenagers and there are contests galore all summer for ALL AGES at our eastern coast beaches. Gawd, the memories it brings back and I could listen to it all day. If you were not going to sit all night at a dance back in the 60's, you had to learn how to "shag."

For some reason, standard do-wap 50's music just isn't my thing, tho I have seen a lot of the 50's concerts in the last few yrs...never mind they're in their 70's & 80's now. Those that enjoyed it then still do.

Also, I LOVE Harry Connick, Jr! He's a bit like Sinatra, but promotes far more personality & pizzazz. I saw Sinatra in his very Sr. years on their last tour, and he almost put me to sleep. Thank goodness LIZA totally saved the show w/her enthusiasm & dancing. What a talent she is/was! Her Broadway tunes give me goose bumps, especially "New York, New York."

Move over rover and let Jimi take over. Ok so it's not Fire, but this song was so great, it is hard to find any good Hendrix stuff, videos that is.

Incredible guitarist, an ICON for sure, but I didn't get into it that much. My g'son thinks he incredible, even has several Hendricks' t-shirts, so his talent lives on.
 
I'll always remember when good ol' Cap'n Billy (RIP) played "Are You Experienced?" for me. No one had EVER heard anything like that! He was a genius and from what I've read a really good guy in private. Now, remember Jimi saying, "You'll never hear surf music again,"? It was quite a statement on the changing times. Well, recently heard a Hendrix cover done by old surf guitar slinger Dick Dale and as he started playing he said, "I'm still here, Jimi. Wish you were."
 
I'm a huge QUEEN fan. Anyone else like them? Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest singers of all time, IMO.
