I can't see it.....but I know deep in my heart this is a link to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers singing Islands in the Stream. Just has to be.

Two of the best :clap:

[Destroyer]

As I said in a previous post on this same subject, if you listen to KD Lang's cover of "Crying" that she did as a tribute to Roy at the Songwriters Hall of Fame in May 1989, you can hear in her voice the raw emotion that this song carries. Roy was the best, I've always loved his songs and his style, but I have to give props where they are due, and KD's cover is certainly well worth listening to. :clap:

[willy]

For many years I thought this was the best cover for Crying

[willy]

But then the "Voice" sung it live for me in concert at Club Bene and I realized
Holy crap, someone with almost Roy's range

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIdE5G9yhSQ&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL07BBA02591B19ECB

[willy]

Then Jay sung this 20 feet away and sung it better live at age 60 than it sounds here.
Phenomenal

[randlemanboater]

I have always liked Orbison for his voice AND emotion.

I remember 30 years ago hearing the story of how he wrote Crying sitting in an abandoned car in his parents back yard...as a teen at the time I really identified with what he was going through in that old car.

I will be that bad guy here and say that "arguably" is the key word.

Yep, gotta admit it, Jay's got a voice for sure.. but (to me at least) that cover lacked the bitter emotions that song carrys. The music arraingement and the background singers detracted from the intensity of the song. It was good, for sure, but it just sounded like someone singing the song, not someone living the song. KD and Roy both "lived" that song in their presentations of it. (imho)

Ok I'll bite who the hell is "the voice & Jay".:head:

[chumbucket]

Jay Black and the Americans.

[willy]

Agreed on the emotion part Destroyer, but I see Jay as having that and then some having seen him live four times.
There is a big difference in sound and all the other things from great performers as they mature.
If you listen to Roy in his original recordings, and you listen to him in A Black and White Evening, the quality, tone, the emotion difference is astounding.
It was the same for Jay compared to his original commercial tracks.

[willy]

Also something else you guys may know but I did not become aware of till earlier this year, from my daughter who is a huge fan of hers.
This young girl is a song writing fool, and a quality Lady to boot.
She performed this live in front of the best in the world at the CMA's this year. Sometimes my daughter is pretty smart.
Oh and if you get a chance to see the video she made of this song, notice at the end the politically incorrect in Hollywood person she is singing it about.
An Iraq/Afghanistan Vet coming home in uniform.
Miss Taylor Swift

Must be a northern thing: Never heard of him/her before..

So young, so young.... <sigh>....

[chumbucket]

Nope. Far from a northern thing. More of an old thing of which I'm sure you can relate to. :nut: Maybe you heard these before;

All right, you guys are coming up with some of my favs, except for that feller from North Carolina who lives in a cave.
But if you want to go simple acoustical with one of the purest voices I have ever heard, spend a couple of minutes with Iz.
I love him

All those people there at the end of the video were there to celebrate the spreading of his ashes. Much loved fellow.

A sumo wrestler turned singer. Sadly missed by many, including me. He had a fantastic voice, but, to me at least, the thing that made him famous were his arrangements. (As evidenced by this particular video). That is, without a doubt, one of my all time favorite videos. I loved it when I first saw it, and that love has not diminished through the years. Thank you for the memories Willy. :clap:

Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo***699;ole

You really need to get out of that cave more.. There's a whole world out there that you seem to have missed. No more glo sticks and saran wrap for you until you can tell us you know all about Roy, KD, Jay, S&G, and Izziy :beer:

Hell Dig him up
"HE COULD do A HELLVE ALOT BETTER JOB THAN THAT PIECE OF SH$T A$$HOLE IN OFFICE NOW"
Imho of course

Who the f*ck is

Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo***699;ole & S&G, still no clue.

Guess I didn't need to know of them.

I have no favorite singer because no one has ever impressed me with singing. It's like pro basketball who cares, just a bunch of criminals running up and down a court trying to make it look like it's a "team game" when it's really just 1 on 1. I say each team puts 1 man on the court for 3 minutes then substitue.

Same as pro football I have no favorite team, just have 1 I love to hate.

And that my friends is: The world according to Lee

Mr. Krinkle, put the bottle back in the freezer and listen up.
Click on the link I posted with the name Iz on it.
He was a Sumo Wrestler who also had an incredible voice. He was famous among the locals in Hawaii.
He redid Over the Rainbow with his own style and his incredible talent with a ukulele.
He died a couple of years ago and at the end of that video link I posted the people took his ashes out and celebrated their friend.

Etta James is ok in my book. I'll give you that one. :clap:

And speaking of Etta James, I was just reading the other day that she is terminally ill with Leukemia and is expected to pass any day now.

[willy]

At Last is one of my favorite songs, and a few years ago I came across this rendition done by Diana Krall on piano, Stanley Turentine on sax and the great Lou Rawls and Dianna Reeves on vocals.
Arranged by Diana Krall
One of my all time favorite songs.
Enjoy
