This is my refashioning of the song 'I found Out' by Bimbo Jones ft. Beverley Knight. The original is a dance song. I redid the song as a 70's styled heartbreak ballad. Well, the stuff she's singing about didn't exist in the 70's but guys are still dumb as $%&*! The guy is texting at mid-night. His Face-book page is set to single status.

I Found Out ft Beverley Knight

Listen to original song.

I like music period. Besides smooth jazz, I like old school R&B, the music I grew up on. Also like gospel, some Latin, some reggae, some soca, all in small doses. Pretty much, if it's got a beat, I like it. I also like South African music. I've gotten to like reggaeton since taking up zumba. And, here's one you didn't see coming - I like showtunes. I grew up in NY and we used to go to the theatre quite a bit, so I love showtunes!

I feel blessed that I can listen to any style of the music that I like at any time. I am not one of those, "I have to be in a special mood to listen to...jazz-or classical...fill in the blank". Moreover, I can listen to jazz, hard rock, classical, country rock, singer songwriters, bluegrass.folk-ALL one after the other. My dad taught special ed elementary school kids. He took my 3 youngest siblings and I along with his class to the L A Philharmonic w/Carmen Draqon. I STILL hear "Flight of the Bumblebee" in my head 40 plus years later! Next year was a field trip to LA Opera-"The Marriage of Figaro"Loved it. SAW Disneys Beauty and the Beast Stage show in 1996- loved it-especially the music. SAW Mary Poppins in L.A. on Jan 3, 2010 loved it especially the music!

Ah! A closet musicals fan! I love theatrical music. They usually have really good songwriters writing for these shows. Brenda Russell is one of the cowriters for the musical version of The Color Purple, which was great. Elton John, Tim Rice, and Hans Zimmer were responsible for the music of The Lion King, which I absolutely loved.

Ooh, Mary, our theater group is supposed to do a musical The Color Purple next spring. I expect I'll be involved somehow.

I am guessing that older the age here the more likely we would have been exposed to musical theater. I also saw West Side Story several times as a kid. It even popped up a social studies class as I recall. Though I doubt any of us even back in day gave into the idea that gang members ran around singing show tunes. But having said that I still enjoy it after so many years. I have Rent on disc a sort of modern day look at big city struggles. Music is great and while some of the characters may be a put off for some, I really found the whole rather refreshing. The wife had me get Mama Mia (film version) funny for seeing Abba music being the center piece of the play or this case film. Funnier still to see Pierce Brosnon singing!
