OT: Impossibly beautiful music

Am I crazy, or am I hearing the Bee Gees? There's the female vocalist but she's getting drowned out on the chorus.

Your are right. Emotion was first recorded by Samantha Sang in 1978.

"Emotion" is a song written by Barry and Robin Gibb. It was first recorded by Australian singer Samantha Sang, whose version reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978. The Bee Gees recorded their own version of the song in 1994 as part of an album called Love Songs which was never released but it was eventually included on their 2001 collection titled Their Greatest Hits: The Record. In 2001,

"Emotion" was covered by the American R&Bgirl group Destiny's Child. Their version of the song was an international hit, reaching the top ten on the US Hot 100 chart and peaking in the top five on the UK Singles Chart.

"You Light Up My Life" is a ballad written by Joseph "Joe" Brooks, and originally recorded by Kasey Cisyk for the soundtrack album to the 1977 film of the same name.[1] The song was lip synched in the film by its lead actress, Didi Conn. The best-known version of the song is a cover by Debby Boone, the daughter of singer Pat Boone, which held the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks in 1977, setting a new record for that time. She topped Record World Magazine's Top 100 Singles Chart a record of 13 weeks on that magazine's charts.[2]

Decades after its release, the Debby Boone version is still considered one of the top ten Billboard Hot 100 songs of all time. In 2008, it was ranked at #7 on Billboard's "Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs" list (August 1958 - July 2008).[9] An updated version of the all-time list in 2013 ranked the song at #9.[16]

"The Great Pretender" is a popular song recorded by The Platters, with Tony Williams on lead vocals, and released as a single on November 3, 1955. The words and music were written by Buck Ram,[1] the Platters' manager and producer who was a successful songwriter before moving into producing and management. "The Great Pretender" reached the number one position on both the R&B and pop charts in 1956.[2] It also reached the UK charts peaking at number 5.

 
She had a couple really good albums, then pretty much disappeared. There's a story behind that, but I'll just share a beautiful song of hers.

 
I thought this artist was on the verge of breaking out, but it never happened. Just wasn't what Nashville was looking for. Their loss. I lost interest in mainstream country music a long time ago.

Some of their 80s stuff like "These Dreams" and "Alone" were really pretty too, but there's something about the less slick/produced 70s songs from them that's hard to beat.

A lot of her songs would work. Dang it, now I've gone and made myself nostalgic for 70s, 80 and 90s music again.
