She's been in the news alot with the R Kelly trial. Apparently got pregnant by him at 15 years old.

Would hardly be surprising, since apparently they also got married. I'm just grateful she got to live and thrive away from him for several years before her untimely death.

Hard to believe it was 20 years ago this month that she passed.

Another sweet ballad, released posthumously:

Robert Johnson, for sure, and have you heard Barbeque Bob (Hicks) He was a slide guitar bluesman and, yes, a cook from Georgia. Good stuff!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Brilliant. I'd never heard of him.

I had to find a Bbq Bob song with a "number" but the rest of is album is really good too. I've played my CD again and again over the years. Check out the others on YouTube. Here's another seldom heard 20's guitarist Blind Willie Johnson...yes another Johnson. The video here from 1927 is terrific too. (Sorry, but 1927 is a number, please excuse my OT violation)

 
This group was the bomb in my high school days and trigged a spate of copycat "girl bands".

You know you're for real when you go live at the Apollo and it's well received. Great lead vocal by Gioia Bruno.

 
On the theme of all-female groups ...

This takes me back to those sophomore year dances that were an odd mix of fun and awkward.

Great! Something for my outdoor Halloween display. How did you find this? And not know Barbeque Bob?

I've owned the album, since it came out in 1978. I think I own everything Eno did before the mid-80's. It's no accident that he's a Knight of the Realm since he (paraphrasing Miles Davis describing himself) changed the course of music two or three times.

I did ask my brother, a blues afficianado (I'm a prog rock/folk guy/Eurometal guy) about Barbecue Bob, and he's heard of him but hadn't heard anything by him. He enjoyed the song you linked and was gonna look up more stuff by him.

I checked my cd racks for a Brian Eno cd I remember having, without luck, but I did find my Deuter and Jean-Michel Jarre cds among the Windham Hill group. 40 years ago! Yikes. This was one of my first and favorites...

 
From the legendary Egyptian chanteuse Umm Kulthum.

Song title translates as "A Thousand and One Nights".

 
Without looking back thru the thread, there have probably been a few classical pieces. Almost limitless options with ordinal numbers (Beethoven's 5th, etc.). Here's something, not the full piece, just the finale. Kaboom!
