Whatcha Listening To?

I have always loved music and I have always loved to dance. One of my resolutions this year was to dance, sing and listen to music every day. I got sidetracked a little with my father's illness and subsequent passing. But, I am getting back to my resolution! I have oodles of cd's and my video Ipod is filled with music. Periodically, I surf Itunes to get old school music that has been remastered onto cd. I'm slowly but surely replacing the vinyl with cds.

On my listening list of late:

Al Jarreau (still love We Got By and Look to the Rainbow)
Lou Rawls (especially the live album)
Oleta Adams (another beautiful voice that sadly faded away)
Phyllis Hyman (my homegirl, still miss her)
India.arie
Peabo Bryson (he's got new music out and he hasn't lost his touch a bit)
Blue Magic (boy, does What's Come Over Me bring back some memories!)
Isaac Hayes (By the Time I Get to Phoenix ALWAYS sounds good! RIP Isaac)
Rob Thomas
Josh Groban
Chante' Moore (her new cd is really good)

and a new artist I discovered while surfing Itunes:
Carol Riddick. Check her out y'all. The girl's got some pipes. Check out A Better Me http://www.myspace.com/carolriddick


Music has always warmed and lifted my soul. I grew up hearing the melodious voice of my father. Between he and my uncles, they played every instrument and played them better than most musicians today. Music is in my bones. It just makes me feel good!

Have a blessed weekend!

Love,
T
