Unless you were hanging out by Fifi (remember her?) and then it was all "Red Red Wine," by UB40.<BR/><BR/>Dietrich would get your attention, that's for sure, especially early on. I remember seeing Der Blau Engel (I believe the last film she made in Germany with von Sternberg before they came to America) and it was mesmerizing.<BR/><BR/>NW, I like Carly Simon, too. May have to give her a closer listen. The only problem I have with her is that some of her songs were a little hokey in a sophomore-year poetry class sort of way, especially "That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be." But since this post is more about sound than sensibility, I can definitely see your point.<BR/><BR/>Gino, you're right -- she wasn't jailbait for us. Based on your recommendation, I'll have to do a little more, ahem, research on the matter.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-71229564546958188252009-02-21T13:30:00.000-06:002009-02-21T13:30:00.000-06:00annabella does it to me hands down every time. she...annabella does it to me hands down every time. she IS better than lennox.<BR/>gotta keep in mind, she wasnt jail bait to me (or you) when she hit the scene. and i fell in love.<BR/>and i already had an asian babe fetish by then.<BR/><BR/>i saw annabella about three yrs ago. i was so close to that angelic being i could smell her sweat. <BR/>at 40-something, she hadnt lost a thing, and i sat there with my 'italian stallion', mesmerized, and in love again.<BR/><BR/>listen to 'baby,oh,baby', 'do you want to hold me?' and then tell me you cant hear it.<BR/><BR/>i wasnt the only dude my age in that small theater that night. and i'm willing to bet i wasnt the only one feeling what i was feeling.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-13821660350722746532009-02-21T13:25:00.000-06:002009-02-21T13:25:00.000-06:00Annie not only "was" great, she still is.

Her solo albums have outsold her Eurythmics work, and her vocal on "Into the West" from The Lord of the Rings finale shows there's no dust on the pipes. <BR/><BR/>Another really sexy voice is Carly Simon's. She could have excelled in any era, Mr. D, including the 40's. Go to Rhapsody.com and listen to her album "Torch", especially "The Blue of Blue" and "Hurt."

Wow, was she good. <BR/><BR/>Annie Lennox was great. Great voice. Too bad we never got to hear it, because Prince was constantly wafting over the Beloit campus in 1984. ;-)<BR/><BR/>- John BunchJohn Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185845082359631788noreply@blogger.com
