I remember his name but never really got into his music. Kind of a legend though!

I've probably listened to this song 30+ times over the past couple of weeks, after I first stumbled upon it, and I'm still hooked on it. :love: Might have to pick up a copy of the single and add it to my collection of 45's.

say that again...

Not a Christmas type soul song but it just popped into my mind for some reason...

Lived in my head for years. Even more than the Isaac Hayes version, which I love.



Cry Now, Laugh Later Grace Jones

Grace’s Sly & Robbie backed Compass Point Sessions album is my favorite of her releases. I just wish the 2 cd set had more instrumentals. Sly & Robbie were her best producers. Think she knows it. Best thing about her last album (2008) Hurricane. Wonder if she’ll ever drop another.

Speaking of unforgettable songs and Grace Jones... She covered "Warm Leatherette" by 'The Normal' on her album titled 'Warm Leatherette'. I heard her version first and then the original and the song stuck in my mind to the point that I just had to go out and buy a copy of the original single as well as her album by the same name. Still have both of them and that song is still stuck in my mind.

Just listened (and posted) The Normal version. I actually like it better than Grace's version!

Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

:love:

Just listened to the whole album for the first time, really beautiful, although this remains the clear standout.

Quest's Live Friday Night Show...

I like Angie Stone’s cover of this one, too (In fact, her Black Diamond album is one of my all time faves).

And then there’s the movie. Found my 3 in tha mornin’ flick.. Thanks. ;)



Odd vocal on top of the falsetto in the title track near the beginning. Sound engineering is odd.
