Big Gee's music thread

I agree, Tom Jones what a great voice he has. Very powerful. Another one of my favourites is Freddie Mercury.

Talking of Freddie Mercury, this evening I have enjoyed watching some of Queen's videos on their official u-tube channel.

Its difficult to choose which is my favourite because I like all of their songs! - but I particularly like the song and video 'A kind of magic':-

Love and best wishes to you all in this forum family - it's magical how we support each other through the toughest of times!

I couldn't manage without this forum - and so many thanks to all of you for helping to make life better with your kind and soothing words of support xxx

Sending huge Easter Bunny hugs to you all,

Yes they made some great songs and videos. I use to belong to the Queen fan club before the internet came along. I must see the film soon, I have heard it is brilliant!

Happy Easter to every one on the forum and all the helpful advice you have giving me!

Love Sheila xx

Sheila,
You really must see the film. I’ve watched it now 3 times. Once in the cinema and twice on dvd. Never really was a fan of Freddie but my opinion really changed after watching the film. Happy Easter to everyone as well and Thank you to all for welcoming into this supportive group

Thanks kitty, I am definitely going to watch the film, hopefully over the bank holiday.
Happy Easter to you.
Sheila.

Loved mine, and loved yours Terry, but I love Bruce, and Barry ...they can sing to me anytime

Btw Barry White is American, I know you guys produce great musicians and actors, but Barry White is ours lol

Hi CC from the other Barry,

Like Terry I wasn’t so keen on the song from the Dublin concert. I prefer Bruce when he sings ballads like this https://youtu.be/hFqswzMmnI4

My daughter is taking me to a concert tomorrow and it is a tribute to Michael Jackson supported by Michael’s original lead guitarist who is of course American.

Love,
Barry x

Hi Barry


Have a wonderful time at concert. My younger daughter is a big Michael Jackson fan too.

I love the instrumentals on Jacob’s Ladder especially the entire horn section, it has such New Orleans. Bluesy, gospel sound and love how Bruce just takes the lead with this band, but then again, he is the Boss lol

Indeed a brilliant ballard Barry, it’s very haunting to me, as was the film it was written for.

It makes me think of this one that I love from Elton John. It’s was inspired by the death of Freddie Mercury from Queen when he passed from AIDS. Elton John wrote it with his musical partner for the AIDS Foundation, its about a man dying from AIDS and his father comes to see him, and finally comes to terms with his son’s sexuality. Just beautiful lyrics and melody…well to me anyway lol

A little on the emotional side so might not be for everyone.

Beautiful song and lyrics CC.

If only the people of this world could be as tolerant of the words and music in life, we would live in harmony with no wars.

Love,
