What's Happening Brother-Marvin Gaye
I want you-Marvin Gaye

Human Nature-MJ
A change goner Come-Sam Cook
Natural High-Bloodstone
Borderline-Madonna
110 Street-Bobby Womack
Rainy Days and Mondays- The Carpenters
Keep your Heart Right-Terry Callier

anything by the shangri-las

Probably Prince songs.

"This house is full of m,m,madness... This house is full of m,m,mistakes"

One of my favourite parts of any song.

MattyJam said:

The whole thing is a work of genius. Possibly one of the the best examples of drama set to "pop" music. Her vocals on that track are astounding.
One of very few performances I've heard that has given me the chills.

Agreed. It is a magnificent record and definately my favourite from her back catalogue.

What did you think of Aerial?
