Hi All,
Decided to start my evening listening session with the album: Famous Blue Raincoat by Jennifer Warnes. She ....as a singer IMHO is one of the most underrated musical talents of my era. (hitting 63 in 3 weeks time myself, to put things in perspective
) Everybody probable knows her from the movie Dirty Dancing and the duets she did on that soundtrack. But....somehowe she always seems to operate under the radar, at least here in Europe. I am so glad I saw her live in Antwerp back in 1992 at The Night of The Proms performing Joan of Arc by Leonard Cohen. In fact.....that performance pointed me to Cohen and made me a life long fan of him. She had some serious collaberations with Cohen during their subsequent careers. Back to Jennifer Warnes. For me .... her voice has such a quality and emotional depth in it, while retaining some sort of innocence and sadness. Everytime I hear her participating on a Cohen song ( as a backing vocal or on her own at this album ) the hairs on my arms reach out to the sky. She does that to me, I can't help it.
See this
clip to see what I mean.
Enjoy your own musical gems and have a good one everybody.
Martin.
