By Amy you mean Amy Winehouse? I like her too, but as a DJ on the Point said recently, of all the current crop of blue-eyed English soul singers (and I like them all [Duffy] too) Adele just lays it down - no big sound, no producer's tricks, and no celebrity flashes. Not that we all don't enjoy walls of sound and fashion statements, but one gets the sense that Amy's wheels are spinning way too fast and are going to come off at any moment and Duffy has the whole looks package and not so much talent. I think Amy and Adele went to the same London school... The whole phenomenon of these young singers emerging is sort of amazing.

I've been visiting iTunes myself, trying to decide just which album I want to buy. There are quite a few, and I've been having fun listening to snippets of them. I've been meaning to buy Adele for a long time now. A young friend left a message on the phone recently and said, Nan you've got to buy Adele! I think Amy is excellent, too, but I feel her language will prevent her from getting the lasting acclaim. I'm still startled to hear certain terms in the midst of her beautiful music and singing. :<) Not a prude, but I just don't think it is necessary. <BR/><BR/>Cath, it was The Springfields. If you go to the radio link, they talk about this a bit, and about her name change. I have been very touched by the warmth of the responses to this post. As for the snow, some years we've had even more at this point of the winter. Gorgeous, gorgeous days we've had lately, with rain expected soon which will wash away those piles formed by the plow.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-26324206633053923292009-03-17T11:05:00.000-04:002009-03-17T11:05:00.000-04:00My absolute favourite Dusty Springfield song, alth...My absolute favourite Dusty Springfield song, although I loved the songs she used to sing as part of a group as well.

I watched the YouTube video AND listened to the WBUR Dusty show then went to iTunes and bought two Dusty S. songs - she has always been there in the background but your post put her in the spotlight and made me realize how much I have always liked her music. While I was at it, I bought a couple of songs by Adele, who seems to me to be the singer today who is really carrying on in that DS tradition.Kim Velkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729808121762572706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-74089912276907927762009-03-16T15:17:00.000-04:002009-03-16T15:17:00.000-04:00Heather, I think if one really loves music, you lo...Heather, I think if one really loves music, you love it from lots of periods. I had some Django Reinhardt on the other day and a woman of 27 said she thinks she was meant to sing in those days. And my son loves stuff from all times, as do I.
