Kenny Loggins' rendition of the song he co-wrote with Michael McDonald:

This clip of "What's My Line" with Aretha as mystery guest is painful for the fact how little the judges can think outside their white people box. You can skip the first half of the clip.

More from the diet years: In this clip, Aretha does a great impression of Diana Ross, and a slightly over the top one of Gladys Knight.

Mel & Tim had one huge hit before Stax signed them to fill the void left by Sam & Dave:

Found another one:

I think Smokey was the only other artist Aretha ONLY said nice things about in her (somewhat bitter) autobiography. They really were sandbox friends and cared for each other deeply.

So today I find out this album exists:

Anyone ever listen to it?

That's one of my favourite videos of Janet... even though she does kinda cheat with the chair jump trick (having it cut from when she mounts the chair to another shot where she comes down with it).

Hadn't heard about Paula being her stand-in for the backflip, though. Still a great video!

What if I don't wanna take it nice and slow? What if I wanna take it nice and fast?

Michael Jackson would have been 60 today and it's been 9 years since his passing.

Me personally, I'm more of a Prince guy than a Michael Jackson (James Brown above both(and oddly enough I never thought I'd live in a world where ALL three have passed so...RIP)). That's not to say that if you're an Elvis person you hate the Beetles, I mean maybe you do but I don't think that model holds to Prince and MJ, just a preference.
That said I'm all about Quincy Jones and while Jackson is a supreme talent, Quincy Jones is the man. I'm more of an 'Off the Wall' man than 'Thriller' guy as were too. Hell, I might like 'Bad' more than 'Thriller' at any given time. While it's hard to nail down a favorite M. Jackson song this one is pretty damn close. Turn up.

While looking for Wayne Newton to post in another thread, I came across this

Also, "Nowhere To Run" makes me think of the movie "The Warriors"...am I a bad person?
