Twenty two minutes after she was asked to cover for her ailing friend, Luciano Pavarotti, Aretha Franklin takes the stage to perform the legendary aria "Nessun Dorma", a piece she sang previously a few days earlier (in her own register, I might add), without changing Pavarotti's key - which is no minor achievement. It begets one of the most extraordinary musical moments in awards show history. It brought the audience to a thunderous ovation. ********** Re-uploaded from my deleted wiredream account, where this vid got nearly 200K hits. I hope it does so again!

A moving medley of Oscar Hammerstein songs from a televised tribute. It starts with a choral reading of a medley of the reprise of "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" (from THE SOUND OF MUSIC) and a line or two of both "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Happy Talk" (from SOUTH PACIFIC) that morphs into the Gay Men's Chorus' beautiful reading of "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" (also from THE SOUND OF MUSIC), which blends into Patti LaBelle's entrance with an astounding version of "You'll Never Walk Alone", one of Hammerstein's greatest pieces of music.

Here is an excerpt of my blog post which will be available on October 8 (mynewboyfriend.com ~ The abundance of tracks that were recorded during the sessions that begat the John Lennon/Yoko Ono classic DOUBLE FANTASY were supposed to be released successively as a sort of companion piece, and in January of 1984 -- four years after Lennon's slaughter -- Ono finally released MILK AND HONEY, cumulating John's songs from those sessions with her (mostly) new songs. Musically it was a strange dichotomy -- Lennon's sonically unfinished tracks were hardly masterpieces, though there were some gorgeous moments. Ono's newer tracks hinted at a more contemporary feel while subsiding (though not totally) her usual avantgardism for a more Pop sheen (though hardly Pop). Juxtaposed as the same call and response schematic as DOUBLE FANTASY, MILK AND HONEY, at times, loses a coherency. Reviews were mixed, and many pondered the motives around Ono releasing this material (she talks about such in the interview).

Here is a video I put together called "Silent Night Suite". It begins with an excerpt of an old MTV special about the making of the classic A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS album (which includes an interview with Stevie and album producer Jimmy Iovine), and then the actual full footage/interview of Iovine's interview. The sterling live version (with two-hit wonder Robbie Nevil lending his vocal), was performed on the "A Very Special Christmas" concert TV special that aired on CBS in 1987. Hosted by "Fame" actress Nia Peeples, it featured some of the album's artists performing their tracks. The show closed with "Silent Night". When Stevie sings with her long-time backup singers Lori Perry-Nicks and Sharon Celani, the result is always stunningly ethereal, and here is no exception...blending with Robbie's call-and-response, this live version is actually more exquisite than the recorded version, and sweeps you away into another dimension. Open your eyes, and you see a Rock 'N Roll queen sing in celebration. Close your eyes and you are encompassed by the beauty of the song, the luxurious harmony, and the spirit of the holidays.

A gorgeous reading of the Peter Paul & Mary song from Arsenio, circa the Gulf War in 1991. The song's relevance is even more palpable during this almost decade-old, senseless, unjust Iraqi War. Cruel war, indeed... The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight I want to be with him from morning to night. I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so Wont you let me go with you? No, my love, no. Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day That your captain will call you and you must obey. Your captain will call you it grieves my heart so, Wont you let me go with you? No, my love, no. I'll tie back my hair, mens clothing I'll put on, I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along. I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know. Wont you let me go with you?

mynewboyfriend.com Released in 1982, after a short hiatus following the successful TUSK tour, Fleetwood Mac's MIRAGE brought them back to the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 200 chart, something that eluded them since 1977s mega successful RUMOURS LP, which remains one of the Top 5 selling albums in history. The first single was the Christine McVie's "Hold Me", which reached #4 on Billboard's Hot 100, and remained there for almost 2 months (it was the 31st biggest single of that year). With McVie's husky, smoky delivery and her impeccable gift of writing great pop melodious gems, "Hold Me" remains one of Fleetwood Mac's most indelible classics. In the summer of 1982, with temperatures reaching more than 100 degrees, director Steve Barron (who had recently directed the classic video "Don't You Want Me Video" for the Human League) took Fleetwood Mac to the Mojave desert to shoot the video for "Hold Me"; the video, like so many other videos from that era, makes little-to-no sense, especially when married to the song. John McVie and Mick Fleetwood goofily "play" archaeologists unearthing ancient guitars. As Christine spies through a telescope, Lindsay paints Stevie in the blistering heat, then Stevie paints Stevie in the blistering heat, who , in turn, traipses across the desert in her red platform boots carrying her canvas. It was/is all quite ridiculous, but the video was a huge hit for MTV at the time and remains a fan favorite. Barron directed other classics of the early days <b>...</b>
