Always

Fanfare to the common man

to bursting. Yes.

At Soldiers Field in ChicAgo

Last thhim they had the orchestra with them. It was magical.

Harry Belafonte

Possibly 'cause it brings back memories of Harold and Maude

for a long time before he actually completed the chorus.

especially The Marriage of Figaro. I think his music makes me joyful because it's so absolutely brilliant and it reminds me that people can create amazing things.

He was portrayed as being childish but I guess that was the point. He had a spirit that was playful but his music was divine.

It's not historically accurate (Salieri didn't poison Mozart) but it's a wonderful and sad movie: the scene where he's buried in the rain and the accompanying music is the Lacrimosa from the Requiem just kills me. I keep wondering what Mozart would have created if he'd lived longer - we have lost some magnificent music, I'm afraid.

2015
Aretha Franklin - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (Live at Kennedy Center Honors)

but.....so powerful. I agree, I am fortunate enough to remember Satchmo - can you believe he has been gone over fifty years now? He always made me smile.

from the album Up Above the Rock by the Ray Bryant Trio (circa 1974)...cheers, OSD

One more I forgot
I Feel Good
James Brown
I remember Rev AL doing this one splits and all when he was much younger. My Dad used to sing this too w/o the splits.

I was heading into work late after the night before. I was playing this in my car. As I turned to enter the parking lot, I waited for a young woman on the sidewalk to cross in front of my car. She was black. She was wearing a Barack Obama tee shirt! Our eyes met in joy and I threw it into park and jumped out and ran to her and she ran to me and we hugged. Then I went on in and she walked on.
Heavenly Day by Patti Griffen.

I like that have already been listed. I went through and liked several here.

My main two I like to just sit back and unwind is Sitting on the dock of the bay by Otis Redding. Aretha Franklin’s Say a little prayer for me.

Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Credence Clearwater, Cat Stevens, the Who, Aretha Franklin, Louis Armstrong, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Simon and Garfunkel the list just goes on and on.

By Traffic.

I'm a big marshmallow. LOL!

and how he died so young in the POW camp in China.

I will sometimes sing them when I'm feeling happy.

And I was lucky enough to see & hear U2 play that song live in the MTV film they did of them playing next to the Brooklyn Bridge in a park, after riding around Manhattan on a flatbed truck playing; before they went on tour the next year.

I watch the whole video often.
Togetherness edited from loneliness.
Two new versus.
Dave Grohl, too!
All artists listed at end of video and I found a few new artists to check out and listen to them often too.

Makes me happy.

This was the music for a modern dance performance I saw several years ago that was given by a ballet company. I have loved it ever since.

May dust off this old album.

...more joy than my marriage to my wife.

When we were younger, I also liked his, "You can leave your hat on."



It might not play well in a political convention though.

But I had to wonder about "You can leave your hat on."

Makes me want to kick up my heels.
