Stevie Lange who sang on the old Limara body spray ad.

I remember that.
There was a popular rumour at the time that it was actually Robert Plant.

Anybody heard Chimacum Rain by Linda Perhacs? I strongly suggest you do. Adele ain't really my thing but there is no denying she has a great voice.

I waited....to see who would praise Adele.

And it seems the answer is jonnyburgo. And me.
I think "great" is about communication. Not technical ability. And it seems to me that the her incredible audience reach (initially out of nowhere.....an overweight young woman on a small label) has been triggered by emotional communication.
And then Marketing later.  (I am daft but I am not stupid).
Make You Feel My Love can have me in bits long before the song has ended.
Let me test that right now.
Yep. I am not lying.



But something like this (this thread) is so personal. If you asked me who else I would say the young Trisha Yearwood. And some of you will say who the f*ck is Trisha Yearwood??
