The album that made me the perfect human being I am today............

I heard the people who live on the ceiling.
I empty a bottle i feel a bit free.
 
When I was growing up, and before I developed my own musical tastes, I pretty much only heard--or at least remember hearing) what my parents played. There was some American songbook (Gershwin, Porter, Rogers and Hart), some Sixties (Mitchell, Dylan, the Beatles), some French pop (Piaf, Aznavour, Hardy), but mostly it was classical. My father likes the Russians (Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev), the French (Debussy, Faure, Ravel), the English (Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Delius). This was the background music of my early years. Other than orchestral Wagner--I didn't hear opera until I left for college--the were no Germans. Seriously, no Bach, Beethoven or Brahms. No Mozart or Schubert. "Sheherazade", but never "Death and the Maiden". One day--I think I was eight or nine--a family friend played Beethoven's Third for me. It was a revelation. The heroic quality of the piece astounded me. I wanted to hear it again and again. I recall the first day I played it for myself in my room, and my excitement at its complexity and profundity. It wasn't sweet or sensuous or sentimental. No soothing balm. It was heroic and willful, and it encouraged me to see my young life in those terms.

Geez...I can't believe I forgot Chaka Khan...she is my favorite female singer of all time...I thought she was the sexiest creature I had ever seen back in the 70s and she still is. She is also vastly underrated which is kinda good I guess because the stuff she still puts out today is not too commercial....

She had a great impact on me because whenever I felt depressed or lost... listening to her connected me back to myself

Chaka in the 70s...


It's hard to pick just one but this is probably my favorite Chaka song...


The new millennium...I still think she is sexy as hell....

..with Fantasia...


...and some of the stuff she does now....
