    No, and I think there was reason nobody mentioned her. Fun to look at back in the day, though.

    She had the perfect face and body for radio.

        I finally started to open up my musical tastes a few years back and it has opened my ears to a lot of music I would have never paid attention to in the past. I really like Norah Jones and Duffy, and also Amy Lee, but always looking for more.

          We saw concrete blonde some time back...yeah, johnette can sing. Seemed like she had more potential than was realized.

          Almost any song in the world would sound good to me, if chrissy hynde was singing it. Another female vocalist i once listened to over and over again, was jane jensen in the nineties...betcha don't know that one. Fun, sexy. #2 female song in history, janis doing "piece of my heart". #1 linda perry (four non blondes), "what's up". Overplayed, but jeez what a voice there.

          the wife?

              I am so embarrassed that he told everybody I request that song all the time!~ It messes with me cool persona...

              Lucky for the husband he didn't put a "y" on the end of that

                What's wrong with "Wifey?" Is there some kind of stigma to go with that word? I want to know....so I don't use it if I shouldn't.

                  I hate it. I know people like that and use it all the time but not me.
                  That is reason enough.

                    Ok. I won't use it. That's reason enough.

                      Female vocalists!

                      Whitney Houston
                      Amy Winehouse
                      Dame Montserrat Cabelle
                      Celine Dion

                      Karen Carpenter ~ wish she had lived longer I do get tired ot the old stuff, Loren totally surprised me when he found a record with 'Argentina' on it. I like Madonna doing that song but she really is not much of a singer, she was great in the Evita movie though. We have an incredioble radio station turn table and love to go looking for albums at thrift shops.

                        I love to hate country music/noise, but I'll ante Patsy Cline as far as voice. You young farts won't even know who that is. Her signature song was "Crazy."

Month or two later was Goose Lake in Michigan (I think Mr. Stokes went or even played there) but once again I was riding trail and chasing the young stuff.

                          This is still my favorite song from Woodstock - they were stoned on Mesc.......they had to go up on stage like a day early cause none of the other groups could get in - yep - the New York State Freeway is closed man !!!

                          And the best Hendrix song in my opinion - nobody else's matters anyway.
                          Aaawwwww yea baby -

                          Yup, i was there. from the friday night rain on thru monday morning when hendix asked us to stick around because he had a specail song he wanted to play at sunrise.
                          Janis wasn't at her best, i don't think any of her set made the album i don't remember. Like hendrix she was trying to get a new sound and she mostly sang with another singer. Grateful Dead didn't make the album either, so no big deal.
                          As far as gal singers go the one i miss is a nashville gal called Cylinda Pink. I believe she did backup vocals for nashville studios and she released a killer blues album. I had it on cassette and it has gone to shit without me having a copy, i sure do miss it too. She was considered 'country' and she did a few other albums but i get the impression she got addicted to herion. That was a long time ago and i still check for her music but she is being awfully quiet.

                                She was incedible. People all around here act like shes' thier sister or daughter and are very protective of her. They just opened her home where she grew up as a musuem, the artifacts were all authentic and donated or are on loan. The VFW under the movie theater has a brass plaque 'Patsy Cline sang here' it is larger than the VFW building plaque. Loretta Lynn lived here too but i don't know if they were here at the same time.
                                We are so lucky to have quality recordings of her voice.
