There are a lot of artist covering the sounds made famous by STAX and Motown, e.g., Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Rafael Saadiq, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and others.

Yeah I have all of Joss Stone's cd in my collection along with others that have gone back to that early 70's funk style soul. The music of that time period has been the foundation for the music of several artists in the 90's and into the 2000's. On the other hand the 60's with the exception of covering a song or two here and there has been left alone (perhaps with good reason). This CD just struck me as interesting because it involved someone young (in his 20's I think) choosing to sing in the style of pop from 40 years ago.

Of course Buble, Caldwell and others mimic Sinatra in this day and age so maybe I should not be so surprised.

Prince - Purple Rain
Great album. 9 terrific tracks.
An absolute gem. And still worth a listen, 26 years after its release.
Best,
Steve C.

Purple Rain was his best.

Saw Cheap Trick perform Sergeant Pepper this week, with a small orchestra, 6 singers, and a bunch of sitars backing them up. One of the best shows we have seen in ages. Sat right in front of Rick Nielsen, great rock guitarist, and managed to catch two of his personalized guitar picks. Cool.
