Simply Red. One of the truly great voices in popular music. I remember the first time I heard him sing. His voice captured me; and the song! As songwriter Lori Lieberman once said of Don McLean - the man was singing my life with his words.
I Protest!!! Vigorously!!!!
- Pink captures President Bush's callous disregard with heart-rending accuracy. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.
- Jackson Brown's new song is fabulous! Lives in the Balance truly touches on the choices facing America today.
- An Arlo Guthrie classic! You'd be amazed at how it fits our modern war ethics.
- Bruce Hornsby's finest. We are treating the Katrina survivors the same way.
- By Phil Ochs. Not what you'd think. He wrote it following the murder of three civil rights workers in the mid '60's. Still pertinent today, I fear.
- This one's by Lindsay Buckingham. All hail the 4th estate!
- Song by the late, great Harry Chapin. It references Vietman, but remains pithy.
- By Bright Eyes. One of the best protest songs to come along in years.
- From the musical, 1776.
Check it out - the reference may be Revolutionary War era, but the sentiment rocks!

Oddly enough, the first time I heard Simply Red, I thought it was a new Carly Simon song. I liked it, but it sort of freaked me out to learn that - not only wasn't it Carly, it was a MAN! Freaky!

Every once in a while you run across an artist who stands out. I thought the same thing about Toni Braxton the first time I heard her. The 'wow' factor; something special about the artist’s sound and look. Mick Hucknall’s voice is truly amazing – and I agree – there is a resemblance to Carly Simon. Hucknall’s tonal quality, it’s richness – very Carly Simon – especially in her early days.

What a treat. Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed that hon, thank you! I too love his voice, and the first time I heard him I thought it was a female singing!

I used to LOOOOOOVVVEEEEE that song. Thanks for bringing it up. I think I ought to put it in my act since he kind of sounds like me. LOL

You have that range and tone? Cool! You know, people always told me I sounded rather like Streisand - but that was quality of tone and vibrato. I was never blessed with her fabulous range and impeccable control. Two octaves - two and a half on a good day. As I've grown older, my bass tones have deepened; but I no longer seem to be able to reach into my soprano - even in full head voice. Ah well - I'd prefer to sing Carmen than Norma any day!
