What a great arrangement! I like Bobby.

I was in a discussion the other day and we concluded that the most heard finger picked tune in any given acoustic guitar store is Blackbird.

''The horror,the horror''>>>>>>wow ,lets put this guy out of his misery ,Bobby Mcferrin sucks anything that came out of the 80s is better then this ,I would sooner be locked in a room and forced to listen to Ratt,Dokken,or other shit then this>>>>>>>>>>

Dude how do you really feel?

Bobby rules!

Hadn't heard this work before.

I like vocals period. The human voice is a great instrument. Seeing it used like this is just pure fun.

Here is a piece by Nina Simone which I came across recently and fell in love with. The song was used as the basis of a motion graphics class assignment, and the visual fits wonderfully.

That is super cool Ed. A classic for sure.

Missing I'm with you I simply love great vocalists of all calibers. I'll even watch the singers on TBN just to hear them sing. I don't care for much else or even the songs, but a good singer will always catch my ear. It can be the guy or gal on the street. If they have the chops, they have my ear.

I liked it too. Good link Ed. That woman is just amazing. Another one I had not heard before.

Chris, I particularly like the guy on the street, when it happens. There is a special spark to unassisted vocal music. Maybe pick a good location, maybe just be on the corner.

When somebody does it right, it just cuts through everything and connects.

Like any classic entertainment form, it's a window into the mind where we let another paint emotions, pictures, places and ideas.

There I was on a july morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
Ill be looking for you
La la la la

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasnt a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la

There I was on a july morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own

Uriah Heep! One of my favorite bands.

This Duane Allman/Dickey Betts duet is an old favorite of mine.
I sometimes think I'm the only one that ever played this track on the radio. It's a shame there isn't room for music like this in today's world of broadcasting. Maybe that's why I think radio today sucks.
From the album Eat A Peach.
