"Ame Câline" [ray lefevre] is simply beautiful
sounds orchestral's version of "Cast your fate to the wind" carries me away, as does "Scarlatti Potion#9"
a live 1968 recording of an orchestra led by vince guaraldi playing his "Charlie Brown" compositions is sublime.
tennessee ernie ford/joe "fingers" carr and his carr hops, did a neat [1951] version of "Stack-O-Lee" ["Staggerlee"], done in a ragtime/swing fashion, that makes me want to get up and boogie.
in 1972, rick wakeman did a brain-tickling album called "The 6 wives of Henry VIII" that makes me feel smarter after i listen to it.
in 1968, wendy carlos did an album called "Switched on Bach" that also makes me feel smarter after listening to it.
i appreciate the beatles more each time i listen to their recordings.
a 1955 recording of eddy albert/hugo winterhalter orch. playing "Cattlecall" takes me to another place.
a 1962 recording, "The Count Meets the Duke" is jazz that blasts me out of my funk and makes me ponder things in general.
yogi yorgesson/hari kari plasters a big goofy grin on my face everytime i listen to his old records.
al delory did an orchestral westcoast jazz uptempo version of "suicide is painless" that is swinging.
mitch ryder had such hyper energy that after listening to some of his stuff [like "Devil with a Blue Dress"], i need a chill pill.
the stones' "It's All Over Now" makes me feel everything is going to be alright.
chubby checker's "The Twist/Let's Twist Again" makes me do just that.
thanks for that list auntblabby. Has honestly made my sunday! Some amazing gems in there, especially Eddie Albert.
