Huey
Lewis & The News
- I think I have been listening
to this band my entire life. One
of the greatest blue-eyed soul bands
of all timie is from the Golden
Gate City, which also is one of
my favorite cities. |

Charles
Kelley - The lesser
known of the two Kelley brothers,
but no less talented. His record
"2 the 9's" is amazing,
shining with two of my favorite
tracks, "Wake Me Up" and
"Grow Old With Me".
|
|
|
| |
Josh
Kelley - By far the
better known of the two brothers,
but much of that seems to be because
he married the girl from Grey's
Anatomy. He is however a monster
musician and songwriter. He seems
to have a beautiful soul. |

Gavin
Degraw - The first
concert I took Shelly to was a Gavin
Concert, and he was amazing. His
debut album was packed with amazing
tunes and I sure hope that his new
one coming soon won't disapoint
me, but I'm not that worried. On
the new album, he has recorded one
of my favorites "Cop Stop".

Kenny
Loggins - Oh Kenny,
the man has been in my head for
2 decades, lol. His "Return
To Pooh Corner" record has
a special place in my heart and
my ipod, and gets turned on often
still when I am in a hotel room
and am trying to sleep unsuccesfully.

Krisin
Rian - I just discovered
her recently online. She's from
Norway, and has a really really
cool sound, and an amazing clear
voice. |
| |
|
|
Brian
Mcknight - First dance
of mine and Shelly's as husband
and wife was his version of "Crazy
Love". I actually met him last
spring in a Sam Ash Store in Raleigh,
NC. He was really nice. Favorite
tune of his is "Still". |
| |
|
| |
Lionel
Richie - He's just
amazing. Writing some of the most
beloved pop/r&b songs of the
70's, 80's & 90', this man desirves
major respect. |
|
|
|
Earth
Wind & Fire - One
of the most influential bands of
all time! I love so many of their
tunes, and wish I could sing like
Phillip Bailey. What a band |
|
|
|
James
Taylor - I think life
begins and ends with JT. His records
are perfect and his voice and lyrics
are amazing. If you haven't heard
it, check out "Sweet Potato
Pie" on the Ray Charles Genious
Loves Company CD. It's track 2,
and my favorite from the record. |
| |
|
|
Richard
Marx - He's a brilliant
writer, producer, and musician.
The first song I learned on guitar
was "Now & Forever"...
that was my attempt to get the girls.
It rarely worked, but it was worth
a shot. |
| |
|
|
Stevie
Wonder - The legendary
man. This guy is R&B music.
He's got me hooked. Just listen! |
| |
|
|
Idina
Menzel - She broke
out with "Rent", then
she scored major with here part
as the wicked witch in "Wicked".
She's amazing and her new album
"I Stand" is unreal. I
listen to it constantly. |
