What are you listening to?

This lady had a 4-5 octave voice. (I can only wonder what a duet with her and Roy Orbison would have sounded like.) Not bad on the eyes, either.

I don't have any of her albums, but these three songs really tell it all.

Unfortunately, she died at the young age of 47.

Laura Branigan, RIP.

Towards the end of this one, her voice goes off the scale.

Yeah man, crazy. Years ago, I was sitting on a bench at a bus stop when he sat down next to me. He was carrying a box, guarding it like it was gold or some shite. I was like "What's up?", trying to act cool. He started telling me his whole damn life story. People started making fun of his physical features when he was a boy. I was like "You talking about the warts?" and he was like "No. What warts." and said his best friend lost his legs in 'Nam, but he's okay now, runs a shrimp fishing company down south, and how he had a girlfriend who was a ho and was dying, and he was on his way to see his son. Then he offered me a piece of chocolate from the box. I told him bugger off.
The End.
 
I met him once. I asked him for a guitar pick and he told me to f-off.

So when he wasn't looking I stole all of his picks before his performance and gave them to his fans.

True story.

No, never heard this one. Must be very early Roy.

Rumour was that Elvis didn't want to follow Roy on stage when doing live rock shows in the early days. Couldn't match his voice, so the story goes.

Off subject, but I played Little League baseball with the drummer from the Rascals. He pitched, I played third. (I also graduated grammar school with his older sister.)

Here's an Elvis tune that's not the typical Elvis rock song, but it's one of my favorites from the era when his voice matured. Also has some great photos/videos.

That's really cool man. I saw a secret show of theirs a new years back in NYC right before the official reunion.

That video was kinda depressing, so here's another song Elvis is doing....
