347. One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men

348. Linda Ronstadt - "Blue Bayou"

Some of you probably think this is elevator music crap, but it's a soulful tune that incorporates the woeful/lamenting crooning of Mexican "rancheras" into a 70's blues/rock tune.

Needs to be heard by all.

At the other end of the spectrum from Ms. Jones' version, is the fluffy Mexican pop from latin sex kitten THALIA;

...sorry...I've have a thing for her since college...

I'm working with the assumption that PurpleJedi's last quote was number 349, if that's wrong than this is 349. If people wouldn't quote and post songs in the middle of a thread with numbers and rules this wouldn't be so confusing. *cough*

349) Fishbone - Everyday Sunshine

So far ahead that nobody caught up...

Cool song!

But I don't think that my last one counts...I was merely replying to #20.

Plus I would've been breaking the rules by not waiting 5 posts between.

350. Holy One ~ Tramaine Hawkins

Cool. I threw an edit on mine and made it 349. Mickey rolled with 350 anyway.

358) Lorraine Ellison - Stay With Me...

Between 1966 and 1973, Philadelphia singer-songwriter Lorraine Ellison recorded three albums and a bunch of scattered tracks for Loma Records, the nascent "soul" division of Warner Bros. Of that output, only three songs ever hit the chart, including her torrid first single "Stay With Me". The rest of the material, including a stack of thrilling demos such as "You Can't Slow Me Down", has, until recently, been gathering dust in the vaults. The just-issued three-disc limited-edition Sister Love rectifies that, re-introducing a dynamo who never got the recognition she deserved.

In 1963, Frank Sinatra booked a session in a New York studio with 46 musicians, then canceled less than a week before the session. So the record company (Warner-Reprise) sent out notices to all their producers that if anyone wanted to use the musicians, it was theirs because Warner's had to pay for it anyway. Jerry grabbed it and then stayed up for three days with arranger Garry Sherman, as they feverishly wrote out the parts for 46 musicians to be ready on time.

At 7pm Jerry convened the session, gave out the parts, and began rehearsing the band. Lorraine was singing live on the session and Phil Ramone was engineering. At 7:30, they took take one. It was perfect except that Lorraine had flubbed the first line in the second verse. They gave the band a break and Lorraine punched in the mistake, also in one pass, and at 7:45 they thanked the musicians and bade them goodnight. Phil Ramone’s stereo control room mix was used as the final mix. This track you are about to listen to was recorded and FINISHED in 45 minutes! It is a legendary, one-of-a-kind performance.

365) Snarky Puppy - Thing Of Gold...

The 3-time Dallas Observer Music Award winning group (“Best Jazz Act” 2008, 2009, 2010) has, over the last four years of touring, gained a reputation for putting on a live show unparalleled in energy, virtuosity, and musicianship. They seamlessly fuse a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation in a way that is able to reach the most critical- or most carefree- audience.

It is, in its physical makeup, a group of musicians from two different cultures and traditions- jazz and rock kids from white America, and gospel/R&B kids from black America. This convergence, which occurred while the band was in its adolescence at the University of North Texas, has naturally established a series of combinations and a system of balance that instantly draws listeners to the music- raw funk and sensitive dynamics, relentless pocket and lyrical melodicism, lush harmony and soulful simplicity, and most importantly, a delicate mixture of composition and improvisation.
