Christone Kingfish Ingram - "Love Ain't My Favorite Word" (Live at WFUV)
 

Was just turned onto this guy. Would love to see him in concert.

Same here, thanks for sharing this post about this Blues artist. If he tours out here in my home town area (we have a huge Blues Fest here each year!!), I will definitely go hear him play. Awesome recording! Thanks Orema! 💐

Jill Scott Singing Aretha’s Song for the Obamas
 

Sarah Vaughan - Midnight Sun
 

There’s a version of this song by Lionel Hampton I’ve been searching for 20 years. I heard it on one of those “100 best jazz songs” all-day radio programs and I can’t find it. I’ve found versions by him, but not one at a ridiculously slow tempo that’s beautiful.. I’ll just keep searching. In the meantime, I’ll play versions by artists like Sarah Vaughan.

Hey Orema,

Did you hear the song on a local jazz radio station?? I ask because we have a jazz radio station (2, actually) here in our metro area: KMHD (on campus at Mt Hood Community College) and KBOO, both stations have producers who would know or could find out this type of music trivia. If your jazz radio station played it, I’m guessing they would know. But if not, let me know because I might could give you contact info to both radio stations here and I’m betting they could help you, my friend.

:balloon:

Thanks, Kätzchen. That's a good idea. I heard it on a station in another state, but we have some really good jazz stations here and some of the DJs know about different versions, tempos, personnel. I think I'll contact them. Thanks again! :)

Randy Crawford - A New Love is Like a Newborn Child
 

I fell in love with her voice the first time I heard this song.

Grover - Mr Magic
 

This song reminds me of driving on Detroit streets in the 70s, smelling bar-b-que cooking outdoors in the summertime, Toronto, and my sister who thought her job was to save me from myself. Lucky me to have someone who cared. Her birthday would have been this week and she’s been on my mind.

James and Carole - You’ve Got A Friend
 

This would be a good non-secular song to sing in church. I’m sure some church somewhere has this in their repertoire.
