A list of my favorite songs and albums


	One Step Forward by Les Nubians Album: One Step Forward (+ Bonus DVD) (Pal/Rc-0	I'll call it Afro-French R&B. So seductive, so smooth, vocals of honey and a band of silk. This is one album that plays well very late at night. When you are not alone....

	No One But You by Swing Out Sister Album: Kaleidescope World	Corinne Drewery is one of the great "unheard of" Divas. Yes, S.O.S is still recording after some 20 years. She sounds as great as ever! They've never made a bad album...honestly!

	Candy by Big Maybelle Album: The Complete OKeh Sessions 1952-1955	I have a new Diva! Big Maybelle was a belter, a growler, and more. She had that rare voice that made one believe that she had seen a few things. One can hear what Rock&Roll borrowed from the Blues in this album.

	Precious Memories by Aretha Franklin, James Cleveland, & The Southern California Community Choir Album: Jubilation! Great Gospel Performances Vol. I	Old time African American Gospel Music...the kind that got you into church and kept you there. Includes the classic "Oh Happy Day." If you get this album, play it LOUD! You'll be happy that you did. I'm glad I went through some boxes!

	Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place) by Talking Heads Album: Stop Making Sense	One hot concert movie. Probably one of the best examples of a band at its height. They were tight and together for the taping of this show. Besides, it has one of my favorite songs, the Naive Melody.

	Gypsy Acid Queen by The Who Album: Tommy (1969 Original Concept Album)	If you really sit and listen to this soundtrack, you can't help but realize that this is one strange story being told. The abuse, the awakening, the fall.All in Tommy.

	Jacky by Marc Almond Album: Tenement Symphony	Everyone shold hear Jacky at least once. It is one of the few times tha Almond drops his troubadour disguise and peeks out at you from behind that mask. Those who know his history will recognize what he is doing quick enough.

	For the Love of Big Brother by Eurythmics Album: 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother)	This obscure beauty is a perfect late night, foul mood album. One of the darkest things to come from the Eurythmics. You should read "1984" by Orwell before hearing the album, especially before you hear "Room 101."

	Sensation by Bryan Ferry Album: Boys and Girls	I just bought my third copy of this album on cd. Its all about that voice. Probably one of the best arrangement of music he has done, and one of the few examples of how the "wall of sound" can be made lush and sensual.

	Everyday crime by Swing Out Sister Album: Get in Touch with Yourself	One of those albums that I listen to at least once a month. Rich in sound and the voice is matched with passion and the music. Probably their best album...so far.

	4 U by Vesta Album: Vesta 4 U	R & B from 1988. She is as perky and straight-up then as she is now. She is both cheeky and tender on this album. Yes, it has aged somewhat, but those who know Vesta understand that you listen for message as well as the voice!

	My first, my last, my everything. by Barry White Album: Greates Hits	He was magnificent! The "Walrus of Love" was his nickname. He has to be responsible for many people being here today! I'm still mourning his passing. With the deaths of Barry White and Lou Rawls, only one member of the"Holy Trinity of the Bass" is alive, Isaac Hayes.

	Down to my last cigarette by k.d. lang Album: Shadowland	The perfect album for warm weather. I rarely venture into Country and Western, but this album gets better with every passing year. The "Honky Tonk Angels" medley is a real treat, it features not only ms.lang, but Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn and Kitty Wells, three of country music's legendary women singers, a real treat!

	Take Your Time by Max-A-Million with 20 Fingers Album: 20 Fingers Greatest Hits	If you find this album, buy it! "Cave Man" will tilt your wig!. The song about the chicken will blow the wig off! The album does recover after that song. One of the raumchiest party albums out there!

	Laundromat Blues by Various Album: Risque Rhythm: Nasty 50's R&B	Song lyrics have always pushed the envelope. This collection of songs comes from a gentler era, when one had to be creative to avoid "frank" language. I'll provide three titles and you can guess what is on this album. "Big Long Slidin' Thing" by Dinah Washington. "60 Minute Man" by the Dominoes. "My man stands out", by Julia Lee & Her Boyfriends. One of the best party albums I've found.

	At Last! by Etta James Album: At Last!	The voice! You never fail to believe her. One of my permanent top Divas !

	Mass in G Major by Robert Shaw Album: Poulenc: Mass in G major; Motets	I get older and I discover new things. A good Sunday afternoon album...only on a warm breezy day. It is much like the Gregorian Chant, but warmer and more sensual. Oh yes, these are actual religious masses performed in the Church this day.

	Twilight Zone by the Manhattan Transfer Album: Down in Birdland, the MT Anthology	They are actually that good. Video killed the radio star, and this group could prove it. They were together, tight, and too plush. You rarely hear singing like this anymore.

	Lydia the Tatooed Lady by Groucho Marx Album: A Night at the Circus Soundtrack	An oldy but goody. If you just change out many of the consonants you will have one of the filthiest songs possible in the history of the English language!

	Watching the Wild Life by Frankie Goes to Hollywood Album: Bang!...The Greatest Hits of Frankie Goes to Hollywood	Just getting in touch with a certain decade. As for watching the wild life, the members of the tribe only need to listen to it once and know exactly what the song is about!

	Emergency on Planet Earth by Jamiroquai Album: Emergency on Planet Earth	Eclectic. Smooth and laid back with a message. The title song says it all.

	So Happy by Cherrelle Album: Affair	Produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Yes I know it is straight from the Eighties, but this album still has kick!
