Subject: RE: BS: Guy Ritchie and Madonna , Folk Idols
Speaking of Madonna and Folk Music.. does anybody have a copy of the song 'Seraphim' that she used as the basis of her song 'Ray of Light'? I believe it came out on an LP in 1972. I heard a snippet of it on some American TV show on VH1 which answered questions about Rumors and stories about popular songs (such as did Phil Collins really see some guy not help a drowning man and base 'In the air tonite' on the experience? No). The snippet sounded quite nice and I'd love to hear the whole song.

I am NOT a Madonna fan by any stretch of the imagination but I am guilty of owning a couple of her CDs. I liked that song she did for that Sean Penn Movie (name escapes me) in the late 1980s. Oh, maybe it's called 'Live to tell.' I prefer when she sings in her natural low range but then , I have thing for alto voice. I think it's becuase my voice is high. I'm jealous or somesuch.

She's an insufferable bore for sure, but at leats she writes her own songs (when she's not cribbing from 1972 Folk songs).
