Comments (0) Back in the 60 and 70s, there are so many musical groups with real music for real people, the following are some of the them I love the most!
Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary
California Dreaming by The Mamas & The Papas
Sound Of Silence – Simon & Garfunkel
Although I am not particularly like Country Music, but this song is the one that moves me, and it’s also the one Leslie Cheung performed in year 2000 CRHK IDClub Concert, Good Taste, GorGor!
It’s like a totally new re-discovery for me. I just came to know about Roberta Flack only yesterday after going through the list of Grammy’s Best Song of the Year, and surprisingly found she was the original singer of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (1973) and “Killing Me Softly” (1974)
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (1973), it’s such a Beautiful song!
Killing Me Softly (1974), definitely a classic! Roberta said she wrote this song after seeing Don McLean of American Pie fame in concert.
Enjoy!
I accidentally discovered the following on Wiki today, simply copy and paste the song into Youtube, then you had your magically Pandora Box.
Grammy Award for Song of the Year
Grammy Award for Record of the Year
I just can’t stop loving the great music from the 60 and 70s, and those are the real music for real people.
Btw, I came to know Roberta Flack only by today and found out she’s also the original writer and singer for Killing Me Softly (1973)
Enjoy!
I used to love this song very much and it is still one of my favourite rock n roll till today.
and of course there is R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion”, I can still remember clearly that unforgettable night in England, everyone in the pub were so high singing this song altogether.

Paul Potts, mobile sales man sings Nessun Dorma
Susan Boyle, housewife sings ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from Musical ‘Les Miserables
原來妖是可以不停地演化下去﹐自問見識過八九十年代的Madonna﹐想不到現今風靡全球的Lady Gaga竟然有本事將這種超級的妖文化無止境地延續下去﹐閱覽關於她的Wiki後﹐完全明白了她師承何處﹐怪不得這麼非一般的妖了﹐的確妙哉﹗
今天讀了篇陶傑寫的關於鋼琴家的精彩短文:
“鋼琴家是一位靈媒，演奏過千回，他讓許多天才附體：從巴哈、海頓、莫扎特，到馬勒和史特拉文斯基，越讓這些巨匠先賢的靈魂洗滌過身心，就越謙卑。例如一位青年鋼琴家，塞爾維亞的馬德薩（ A. Madzar），也演奏過莫扎特。鋼琴協奏曲第二十七號，到網上看看，情到濃時，此君也欲仙欲死，眉毛一揚一揚，甚富性挑逗之意，即使三分演作，比較引人入信：他的耶教文化背景，他真的身心與莫扎特的仙魂交融一體。”
Bleeding Love Spirit by Leona Lewis
No One – Alicia Keys
You Know I’m No Good by Amy Winehouse
Update July 24, 2011
Amy Winehouse這類與眾不同的R&B其獨特的風格只有在她High了之後才唱得到﹐而High多了的結果就是英年早逝。What a pity! I liked this song a lot actually.
