I recently offered up Free Born Man Of The Travelling People by his good self and the Clancy siblings on the Song Game Thread MM.

They soundtracked my younger days when a family visit was going on, drink had been taken and a yearning for the 'auld sod' kicked in.

Bob Dylan paid attention, did he not?

Females:

Patrice Rushen: A very talented songstress who was also a jazz pianist

Minnie Riperton: Can anyone else reach those high notes?

Alicia Keys : Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice


Males:


Frank Sinatra: I can understand every word he sings. Not an easy trick to pull off for any singer.

Frankie Beverley (lead singer of Maze): Great singer. He could sing a shopping list and make it sound soulful

Maurice White and Phillip Bailey( Earth Wind and fire.) Perfect harmonies and they complemented each other beautifully


A special mention for James Taylor as well. His voice always brings a tear to my eye or a smile to my face, depending on what he's singing

I've never seen the Pixies or Frank, always wrong place & wrong time. I had the same prob with Sigur Ros, until last yr.

I can picture the scene HB. Yes I read makems obituary and apparently bob dylan was a fan. I posted a you tube link to makem and clanceys the Dutchman once. Always worth a listen.

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
