Subject: RE: Singers and songs which stunned me .
hi
Many of the songs and singers that moved me have been suggested above...so I will not dwell on them.
Like other members here I have been mostly moved by live performances more than recordings or TV.
Some "non-folk" renderings that have moved me were.....
1. Chet Baker singing My Funny Valentine - the man was a master of trumpet, cornet and flugal horn and I didn't know that he sang !!
2. Frank Sinatra - Nancy With The laughing Face - the master at work
3. Nana Miscouri singing Attic Toys - she stopped a noisy audience dead in their tracks and you could hear a pin drop.
4. Gordon Lightfoot singing Canadian Railroad Trilogy - more folky but when I watched him I was blown out....great
Many more I could add to this very interesting thread.
Cheers
