Thank you for breakin it down for us !!splendid

[pathbird]

Would someone please post Thelma Houston's song,"Sunshower". It's such a beautiful song and I can't find it anywhere.

It's from her "Sunshower" album.

[leesterg]

@pathbird Yes, I too have been waiting for someone to upload. If it doesn't happen soon, I will go to my storage and pull it out--a major chore but I guess I am going to have to break down.

It's okay, but the gospel sound doesn't work for this song. In her slower phrasing and more punctuated style, she loses the power of the melody and chord changes. Listen to the original's tonality on the "when you change with every new day" and compare it to this. The original has so much more power with the instrumentation and phrasing. This is a caricature, imo.

[joimpanne]

Bucky2300, you are right. Have a look at the stupit reaktion to my comments.

Sure the lady can sing, very good, but not this song in this way.

"and when you change with every new day", no one who covers this song (the Coors, Rod Stewart, Julien Lennon), has understand the extraordinairy tuning in this sound (tones) in the same pitch.

Thelma layed the slap down on that song

[Samijn]

Insane. Great great performance. Chapeau!!!

[stewymun]

WOW the lady can  sing

[joimpanne]

brigh,hi hi hi hi higt, she she hee eeee hee Please sing it normal. This is not a song for a church in Alabama. Only the cover of Melanie has the quality of the original Stones Song, becaus she realised the essence of this song.

Soul is good, but this is poor.

My english is poor too.

[eplafan]

To JOIMPANNE - You're an idiot, obviously. I NEVER liked the song "Ruby Tuesday" until hearing THIS version by Thelma Houston. WOW - this lady is no spring chicken and can out sing ANY young singer in mainstream music today. Again, WOW!!! Great performance!

[joimpanne]

eplafan: I'm coming from Europe, the country of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms. I think there are many people in america, who have no idea of music. And you have first of all no politeness.

[bluesyly]

Hey Hitler.you think all Black people are from Alabama.and Bach,Beet.and whateverRams Euro-trash who the fuck listens to that shit anymore?.

[joimpanne]

hey bluesyly,

look at my favorits, good blues, but from africa. I said, I like Soul, and so black music, but not this kind. Have a look to my favorites or on youtube Miriam Makeba singing in Zimbabwe. That's Soul. Only Dunces make the shiftless comparision with Hitler.

Americans do not like to be criticizes.

[highbelter]

What a great clip! Thelma works it out!

Thanks for the live posts. These are so good.

Thelma is such a wonderful force for beauty and love.
