While we're on the topic…

I am getting a huge kick out of the young, female soul singers coming out of the UK. I am referring to Duffy, Joss Stone, Adele, and (my personal favorite) Amy Winehouse. All of them have covered songs by not only their predecessors but their contemporaries. I will be posting my favorites from these ladies.

Where is the Love

"Where Is the Love" is a popular song by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. It was released in 1972 from their Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway album.

John Legend (feat. Corinne Bailey Rae): They have a wonderful cover of this song, and I could kick myself for not going to their concert when they were touring together a couple years ago.

Thumb drive is found...

...so more musical redundancy is coming your way.

Um...

I have written about 30 entries for this blog already, and I eek then out at pretty random intervals, with the occasional YouTube video that catches my fancy thrown-in. But I may or may not have lost the thumb drive that the blog is saved on. So, yeah.

Until I find it (I'll find it, right?), I'll just leave you with this exclusive poem just for the readers of The Sincerest Form of Flattery:

Snow day

These mornings I perch by the window
As hot coffee or tea warms my hands
And peer out below, at the blankets of snow
That quiet our daily demands

I find the pale vista so soothing
Like serenity cast from the sky, and
It makes me remember, our final September...

...The way that we were—you and I

Earth Song

I really enjoyed this Michael Jackson tribute at the Grammys. When I first saw Carrie Underwood (whose singing I love, by the way) I was like, "Why is she up there?" But my sister said, "Because she can sing." And, boy was she right.
