Love the header too!

Miss C is very beautiful in a conventional feminine sense. But as kd at that date, she was extremely gorgeous AND completely unlike anyone else. Talk about a win-win situation.

"Loretta Lynn renews her creativity time and again. Two years after she was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1983, she was back on the charts with the hit, “Heart Don’t Do This to Me.” In 1988, the year she entered the Country Music Hall of Fame, Loretta recorded with k.d. lang." So glad to see the journalist gets it the right way round. |

Interesting....
http://blogcritics.org/mu...-lyle-lovett-release-me/ "Lyle Lovett is always versatile and entertaining, and an expert singer/storyteller. On his upcoming recording, Release Me, he delivers unique, enjoyable songs as always, ranging from bluegrass to Texas swing to blues, jazz, and gospel, all with his own unmistakeable touch. This release is particularly significant, as it represents Lovett's final work with Curb Records, his label since his debut in 1985. He finishes his stint with the label as he started, with quality work from beginning to end. Opening with a fabulous, danceable instrumental, "Garfield's Blackberry Jam," a bluegrass number with a decidedly Celtic sound, the CD then continues with a heartfelt and authentic version of the country classic, "Release Me." Done as a duet, the track finds Lovett singing with k.d. lang, who provides a perfect match for his voice." |

http://www.cbc.ca/news/ar...award-nominees-list.html The 2012 Juno award nominations: Producer of the year: Bob Rock (Jann Arden); Brian Howes (Hedley, Nickelback); David Foster (Shania Twain, Michael Bublé); k.d. lang (k.d. lang and the Siss Boom Bang); Noah "40" Shebib (Drake). Why not nominated for performance? That said, though, kd says on twitter that she's excited and happy with the nomination.

FIVE GREAT SONGS BY FIVE GREAT FEMALE SINGERS THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO NO. 1 | #1476 | ||
|

Friday, October 14, 2011FIVE GREAT SONGS BY FIVE GREAT FEMALE SINGERS THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO NO. 1 Today's topic: pop hits -- or songs that should have been. Katy Perry and Rihanna can rack up No. 1 singles in their sleep. Between them, they've had 16 in the last six years. But the leading ladies of pop haven't always had it so easy. Here are five of the most egregious examples currently in heavy rotation on my iPod.
1) Susanna Hoffs: "My Side of the Bed" Considering how hot the Bangles were in the late '80s, one might have expected the 1991 debut solo single from the band's lead singer to have gone higher than No. 30 on Billboard's Hot 100. I was on the verge of coming out, and I still found her offer almost tempting. 2) Belinda Carlisle: "Summer Rain" Ex-Go-Go Belinda Carlisle, for whom Hoffs co-wrote "I Need a Disguise" from her 1986 solo debut, Belinda, had more luck on the singles scene at the same time that the Bangles were scoring. Though Australians had the good taste to send "Summer Rain" to No. 6 in 1990, like Hoffs' flop, it only reached No. 30 in the U.S. and would be Carlisle's last Top 40 trip there. To quote one of Carlisle's solo hits -- actually, to quote three of them -- I'm mad about "Summer Rain." It sounds like heaven on earth, and I still get weak whenever it pours down and out of my headphones. 3) k.d. lang: "Constant Craving" The other day I was listening to "Honky Tonk Angels Medley," a non-charter from lang's great 1988 Shadowlands CD, and wondered how the androgynous then-barely known singer got country queens Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells and Brenda Lee to join her in the studio and video for the stunning single. I also wondered how a singer with lang's talent only managed one Top 40 single in her entire career. Despite winning her the Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, "Constant Craving" barely edged into the upper reaches of the Hot 100, peaking at No. 39 in 1992. 4) Annie Lennox: "No More I Love You's" Like Constant Craving, this single won the Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, yet it only reached No. 23 on the Hot 100 in 1995. In fact, the woman who went Top 10 three times with Eurythmics and once with Al Green has scored only one U.S. Top 20 single on her own ("Walking on Broken Glass," No. 14 in 1992). At least she has an Oscar (for "Into the West," from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King), which, as far as I'm concerned, is worth all of Rihanna's No. 1's. 5) Aretha Franklin: "A Rose Is Still a Rose" At least Lennox's Eurythmics duet with Franklin managed to get to a so-so No. 18 in 1985. But even with Lauryn Hill (at the time hot like fire, thanks to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill) on board as producer and songwriter, Franklin couldn't go quite that high with this 1998 single, her final Top 40 hit to date. You know you are living in a crazy mixed-up pop world, when the Queen of Soul gets to No. 26 on the Hot 100, and it's considered a comeback. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, please. http://jeremyhelligar.blogspot.com/2011/10/five-great-songs-by-five-great-female.html |

Interesting article, dragon.
A quick observation or two - Constant Craving did better here in the UK than in America and charted at number 15. Annie Lennox's cover of No More I Love Yous was a thumping hit in her homeland and got to number 2.
