Women in Music

[OviedoFLHusky]

A picture I took of Patti Smith. Apologies for the picture quality - -it's quite faded; I took it with an old Kodak Instamatic (the skinny kind you could stick down your pants and bouncers at concert gates would never suspect). She's wearing a Keith Richards shirt.

Carly Simon:

keyboard thread? ladies thread? whatever, still good.

 

[Ozimoto]

Patty Smyth, AKA Mrs. John McEnroe. A little bit different from when she fronted Scandel in the 80's.

 

[Ozimoto]

Kind of a one hit wonder, but a great voice none the less.

Paula Cole.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

i forget if it was nietzsche or hunter s who said 'everrbuddy should have a slippin slide and a supersoaker.' one of them wiseguys, idk.
abba still in the house.

and popsicles. everrbuddy should definitely have popsicles.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

u people hate popsicles.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

no kind of movie expert here, but 'less than zero' is one of my all time favs.
time, time, time, see what's become of me...

Across the Great Divide - by the late, great Kate Wolf:

The Judds - Cow Cow Boogie:

 

[WestsideWaltz]

The Pointer Sisters became somewhat the Supremes of the 80s. This is a not very well known song that was produced by Richard Perry. Great sax work from Trevor Lawrence.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Tanya Tucker also did a version of Should I do it but I really liked her foray into rock with Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn's rowdy Tear Me Apart.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Sister Sledge's biggest hit. I think Kathy Sledge was one of the most underrated singers of that era. So friendly, and accessible.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Alison Krauss is the most decorated singer in Grammy history. This is perhaps her greatest vocal performance.

 

[Scud49]

The great vocal group Manhattan Transfer has always featured women very prominently.

In their very first album it was two ladies by the name of Erin Dickins and Pat Rosalia:

 

[UHF]

Lady Marmalade. 1975. Patti LaBelle.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Queen of Soul doing Jump, not the Pointer Sisters or her own later hit Jump To It. Deserves a nod for what she has on.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Rickie Lee Jones wrote this is 1981.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Complete delight from Carlene Carter.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

A big hit in the 70s and now sadly forgotten. Loretta Lynn's sister Crystal Gayle.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Stunning from Patty Griffin. Heavenly Day got a boost when it was used as Lex and Lana's wedding song on Smallville. Patty said she wrote it for her dog.

 

[UHF]

Title song from the 1960 beach movie Where The Boys Are.

Paula Prentiss (one of my favorites).
Dolores Hart.
George Hamilton.
Jim Hutton.
Frank Gorshin.
Yvette Mimieux.
Connie Francis - singing the theme song.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Emmylou Harris' masterful cover of the Beatles "Here There and Everywhere".
