It's so beautiful outside with all of the wintery white ice and snow and Im relishing in some winter-themed tunes.

First one (and an old favorite):

And of course, Curtis Mayfield's version!!
 

"As with the previous year's Keep on Pushing, People Get Ready featured another big Curtis Mayfield hit, one that made as strong an impact on the civil-rights movement as on the charts. One of the most beautiful songs of the '60s, "People Get Ready" set the oft-used "gospel train" as its theme, with Mayfield speaking of faith for the present and deliverance in the future."

A little bit of an older Curtis here. He is surely missed - and one brilliant, beautifully spirited, and talented song writer & artist.

Molly Hatchet is a southern rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1971. The band took its name from a prostitute who allegedly mutilated and decapitated her clients.

The Rossington-Collins Band was an off-shoot of US southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, founded in 1979 by guitarists Allen Collins and Gary Rossington following the tragic 1977 plane crash which killed three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The Jacksonville band released two albums, but disbanded in 1982 due to increasing instability with guitarist Allen Collins following the death of his wife in 1980. Another contributing factor was the growing relationship between vocalist Dale Krantz and Gary Rossington, who married soon after the band dissolved.

OMGoodness!!! Thank you for posting this LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the most beautiful and amazing performance on a music awards show that I have EVER seen! (And there have been SOOOOOOOO many!!!)

This, takes my breath away. She was flawless, she was - PERFECT here. (And have you ever seen a more bold and daring ACT live like this at a major awards show? I have NOT! SHE'S GOT GUTS and then something most of us canNOT even understand or relate to!)

BIG HUGE SMILE HERE!!!!!!!!

:stillheart:

That was one stunning, brilliant, gutsy, artistic performance!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!

Thanks for posting, Jewel!!!!!!!

Ellen...
 

... begins as judge tonight on American Idol.

Sure I think she will bring a different "sense" of humor/feel/perspective to the set... but, I also believe that she will be suprisingly more serious in this position - than folks are expecting or anticipating.

(And who was more funny than Paula sometimes half off her rocker anyway?)


:p

*Anyway, I am curious. I know what a HUGE music lover and promoter of music Ellen is - on her show, of ALL GENRES. Plus, she has done the Grammies, etc... And she is so special and important for "our community"! It's about "representin'"! Yes, sometimes, it is... just that.

(I will note here though, that Simmon already said this was HIS last season -and/or the show's last season (?), so maybe this year with Paula out and Ellen IN, does mean something we are not yet aware of...?)
