Quote: ... my wife and I took a ride (about an hour)to the Mohegan Sun Casino on Friday to see Nancy Wilson.
I think I was 14 or 15 at the time when she released an album with Cannonball Alderly.
Blew me away. The lady has got pipes!!!

.... admittedly, I have not listened to a 'lot' of her stuff, but that will change .... and her 'pipes' are still working great .... during her rendition of Moondance, while the spot was on the piano player during his solo, you could tell she was coughing quite a bit, but when she came back in you would never know it .... she did a version of "My Funny Valentine", in such a high register, I thought of someone gently tightening the high strings on a guitar ... and it was all so pure .... had a chance to speak with the guy controlling the mixing board after the show ... he raved about working with her "A very classy LADY" to quote him ... he also said that once they do a sound check, he never touches the controls for her mic .... and she knows how to use it ....
GREAT LADY, GREAT SHOW ....planning on going back with some friends this Friday ...

people with no musical talent from:

the millenium: brittney spears, backstreet boys, christina agulare

the 90s: vanilla ice, mc hammer, bloodhound gang

the 80s: menudo, tiffany, new kids on the block

the 70s: ramones, sex pistols, PiL

and you could go on and on. my point is that there are musicians getting famous based on personality alone at ANY point in history. this is not necessarily a bad thing, since the primary purpose for most of these musicians is to ENTERTAIN...

The absolute worst "singer" of all time--has to be Fabian.

He's right UP there with Dylan, for sure. At least Fabian was good looking.
