Time to Change
When it’s time to change, you’ve got to rearrange.
It’s time for a change here at Stop and Hear the Music. During the next couple weeks things will start to be a little different. They’ll be a content revamp and maybe even a change in the look and feel of the blog. So let’s see what [...]
Lauryn Hill “I Find It Hard to Say”
This is from the MTV Unplugged performance that Lauryn Hill did. I have this CD(MTV Unplugged), but I never saw any of the performance before. Even though her voice is going the crowd is really diggin’ it.
Bob Marley “Africa Unite”
I just got home from walking to the grocery store. I needed to pick up a few odds and ends for dinner. The walk to the store takes about a twenty minutes. The weather is beautiful today–clear sky, nice breeze. The whole time I was walking this song was going through my head.
Curtis Mayfield “Move On Up”
Here’s some Curtis Mayfield for you. I tried to find something with a good video and sound quality but I couldn’t find that. So here’s good sound and a video of an album cover.
Tom Waits “Chocolate Jesus”
Tom Waits announced the Glitter and Doom tour yesterday on You Tube. If you didn’t see it here it is.
It’s well known that I’m a Tom Waits fan. So in celebration of the announcement of his new tour here’s a live performance by him.
Common “Be”
I don’t put much rap on this blog. It’s funny because I grew up listening to rap, jazz and classic R&B. This is a short video by Common. It’s really good.
Marvin Gaye “Got To Give It Up”
I just realized that I haven’t put any Marvin Gaye up on this blog yet. I have no idea how that could’ve happened. Here is a live performance of Got To Give It Up. I know you’ll want to dance during this one. Don’t be shy. “Let’s dance. Let’s shout. Gettin’ funky’s what it’s all [...]
Don Byas “Moonlight in Vermont”
I remember going to a used record store with my father when I was ten. I’d been to many record stores before, but none were quite like this one. There were just so many records stuffed into a small unorganized space. I looked through boxes and boxes of record while my father talked and laughed [...]
Leo Sayer “The Show Must Go On”
It all started on the stairs. We were talking about hits from the seventies, singing and breaking into spontaneous dance routines, when we remembered Leo Sayer. How could anyone forget? Yes, there was You make me feel like dancing, but how can that compare to this gem. The Show Must Go On is quite enjoyable. [...]
John Legend “Ordinary People”
I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit it, but I’ve always liked this song. Now I’m showing my sappy side. I have nothing to prove to anybody.
Here’s a live performance of Ordinary People. I hope you enjoy it.
