River of no return part 1

You can purchase Ordinary Heroes on iTunes here, and here. You can also find out more about Howard Jones on river of no return part 1 official website found here. I was trying to think of how many times I saw Howard play in the 80s. Man, I loved his music. I still do. And would love to see him playing live again. Happy Fathers Day to all the daddies out there. To all of you, I dedicate Eartha Kitts My Heart Belongs To Daddy. Clockwise from Top Left: Lena Horne, Peggy Lee, Julie London, Anita ODay, Gladys Knight, and Etta James. With a nod to Fathers Day, I thought I would just compile a group of glorious lady torch singers, and let them tempt and tease their way over a drink and a smoke. Much of their music can conger up images of smokey clubs with a piano and a woman at the microphone, a little worn by the world. Men loved the torch singers the straight men wanted to sleep with them, the gay boys wanted to be them, with their hearts broken over some no-good thug. Drag Queens were them, often twice a night on the weekends. A clear example of a classic torch singer would be Julie London singing Cry Me A River. Long before she played nurse Dixie on Emergency!, she was stopping hearts when she sang jazz classics. While everyone knows our next singer for the timeless beauty of At Last, it was far from the only song she sang. Etta James not only sang Id Rather Go Blind, she also reportedly wrote river of no return part 1 lyrics. She is performing the song in the clip with Dr. Miss Peggy Lee spend six decades singing, starting with a time as the vocalist for the Benny Goodman Band. She could do it all, whether it was the wronged woman, the coquette, or or the wise friend, she poured an honesty into her work. Check her out singing Why Dont You Do Right? with the Benny Goodman Band. When I first thought of this post, I knew I wanted Miss Lena Horne to be a part of it. What I didnt want was to post yet another clip of her singing Stormy Weather. She is way too good to be defined by that one song. So I found this, a clip of Miss Horne sings Youd Better Love Me. Our next singer shattered the image of the girl singer back in the day. Instead of showing up to sing in a ballgown, she would appear in a skirt and a jacket that would match the band. But that isnt where it ended. She had her own style, was more rhythmic in her singing, her musicality. That should come as no surprise, as she river of no return part 1 played the drums. Here is Anita ODay as she sings My Funny Valentine. It is tough to figure out what to say about the great Gladys Knight that hasnt been said already. She first came to the attention of the public when she won on the great-grandfather of American Idol, Ted Macks Original Amateur Hour television show in 1952, when she was just seven years old.
