25 Original recordings, under the title of LADY ELLA. I just love her, she's hot, black and gorgeous, sensual, gets right under your skin to your soul and pricks you just in all the right places. I just adore her. Ella, I so wish I could have seen you live in concert :(

She's singing...BLACK COFFEE, as I type...:eusa_clap


Ahhhh, I too love Ms. Ella.

Actually, as I've been listening to too much "old" music, I've put my itunes and my ipod on shuffle so that I can get a chance to listen to different things since I tend to listen to the same music over and over. The problem though is according to my itunes, I have 14 days worth of music, so it's taking a while.

Today I heard some Stevie Wonder, Conya Doss, Donnie, Flaming Lips, Les Nubians and others.

what is a civil defense player?lol

In the van I have the best of Sam Cooke, the best of Nick Lowe, the best of Wagner and "7os Supergroups".
In my car I drive to work cassettes of Orff, Glenn Miller, and assorted radio shows.
In the house, next to the CD player is a Paul Whiteman Disc I got for cheap and (as always) Electric Light Orchestra. I've been rebuying the albums on CD since they have remastered and added tracks. Co-incidently "Rain is Falling" from E.L.O.'s Time album is playing on the computer. Time was the main album I used to always listen. On the Third day is the E.L.O. album over which I'm currently obsessing.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

It's neat seeing what other people are listening to.

I'm a mostly an orchestral film soundtrack listener myself. At home right now I'm alternating between "The Blue Max" and "Take a Hard Ride," both by Jerry Goldsmith. In the car, it's "The Cassandra Crossing" and "Capricorn One," again by Goldsmith. I also have Glenn Miller, Jimmy Dorsey, and the Andrews Sister in the car, and a 4-disk music of WWII compilation by my work desk.

I have my turntable spinning at the moment. I'm playing my Goodwill finds from today: Sade, Grover Washington Jr., George Bensen and War. Yesterday was: Chaz Jankel, Fun Boy Three, Pat Metheny Group and Alan Parsons Project.

Nick Lowe. You're a man of rare taste. I like Sam Cooke too.

My current favourite iPod playlist is made up of the complete output of a 70s soul band called The New Birth, that I recently digitised from the original vinyl albums. All 11 original albums, plus two albums by a vocal group called Love, Peace & Happiness who joined the New Birth after their second album.

I'm waiting for a copy of Birmingham Sound: The Soul of Neal Hemphill Vol 1 about which I am ridiculously excited - a compilation of hopelessly obscure early 70s soul cut in Birmingham, Alabama. As part of the promotional work one of the singers on the CD - Ralph 'Soul' Jackson who recorded one of my all-time favourite records at that studio - will be making his first ever UK appearance next month. I'll be there! There's a nice story in The Chicago Reader giving the background to the release.

In my CD player right now I have two discs that I found at a thrift store a couple of months ago by the name of: From Ragtime To Wartime-The Good Old Songs (Volume one and two) by Squeek Steele and it is entirely piano (it sounds like old time player piano stuff) but I love it!!! I know I am just a nerd but what can I say? :)
