We went to a birthday party for her in Soho Square about 10 years ago. It was very moving. 1 “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter.

I have a friend who is a huge Billy Bragg fan, and she didn't realise that the first two lines of the song are taken from Paul Simon's "leaves that are green."

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm sorry but that doesn't do anything for me, on the other hand the Dionne Warwick version is a thing of beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but ms warwick's version isn't a cover version. So Phil's call is a fair one. Dionne Warwick's interpretation of the song is peerless. What a beautiful song.

You're not wrong. I got the first album and "Willy and the Poor Boys" for Christmas 1971. I'd already got Cosmo's Factory the Christmas before.

Agreed. They should have been lined up and humiliated to death for that sheet. Learn to listen without distortion and learn to look without imagination.

Mister Ting Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Miley Cyrus is symblolic of what is wrong with 21st century pop music. Someone who studies music would be able to describe what it is. To me it all sounds like it was written and produced by the same thing.

I saw Miley Cyrus in a Woody Allen series he made for Amazon, and was slightly taken aback. What I've heard of her records is shrill and irritating, but her speaking voice is very different, and her acting was actually pretty good. Her dad, however, was bad at music (Achy Breaky Heart) and acting (Radical Jack), so Miley's one-nil up in the family talent stakes.

Anyone called Billy Ray should jump off the Tallahatchie bridge for a living. Miley is a victim of modern music. Learn to listen without distortion and learn to look without imagination.
