On This, the Last Day of March, Let Us Talk About Women
This Mike's Music Morning is dedicated to the fairer sex.
It’s difficult for me to pick favorites. I like almost everything. Basically, everything is my favorite. So, trying to make a list of favorite female vocalists is… difficult. This MMM might run a bit long, but it’s totally worth it.
I’ve decided to pick a few songs from various genres for a real tribute. First off, here’s one of my fav… yeah, I know… From Nina Simone
This one’s impressive. She made history by being inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame twice. Once as a member of Fleetwood Mac, then for her solo career.
I honestly believe these two versions of this song are absolutely stunning…
I was 19 when this one came out, really in the midst of my musical Renaissance, in terms of being exposed to new music. Love this song.
I’m generally not much for country music, but they do have some of the best love songs for dancing with your wife in the kitchen…
Amy Lee has an amazing voice. That is all.
As I’ve mentioned before, I really believe this next woman to be one of the greatest artists of her generation, if not all-time.
I also love her work in “Ocean’s 8” and “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets”:
Also from the latter movie:
I think that’s enough to be going on about for now. Hit me up in the comments with some of your faves.
Good morning from Western Wishes.
