Oh yeah! A great nostaligic blues tune rendered in a soulful laid-back take against a backdrop of a well orchestrated ensemble. BB King gave it a happy gait and with his wonderful guitar work made the phenomenon that it has become. Beautiful and untarnishable music either way.

Huge potential for much greater things! Like the funky guitar work, keep it up!

Townes Van Zandt penned a wonderful song that Norah Jones simply took to another level and now this exquisite cover although I do miss the higher-register notes somewhat.Very well done, Nilay.

Kris Kristofferson penned a beautiful song and Gladys Knight simply put it on a level that no one else could! This is music at its best such as people seem no longer capable of making these days!

@jujuman23 I can only echo the sentiment and add that these are people who probably see only dark on a cloudless blue-sky midday! This is blues music at its apex!

How nostalgic! True sound of Africa - simple and hard hitting. But then where are the Mahotella Queens and what is the title of the music piece?

@037712 Like 'Khawuleza' and a few others 'Pata Pata' was a Dorothy Masuka original (recording and composition) but was popularised by Miriam Makeba. Each in her own way both divas made indelible footprints on the sands of Southern African music history!!!

@Bidybi As for ME, I think I last heard a Phuzushukela offering some 30 odd years ago. I was hardly into maskanda music then but I clearly remember how his sound brought out the Zulu animal in me. He was the undisputed 'king' then. Likely, I am weighing him and Mfaz' Omnyama on uneven scales - wh...

Probably one has to have a certain kind of social background and upbringing to fully grasp and feel the heart-rending pain rolled in one with the honey-sweet melody of this soul-searching kind of blues sound!!!

Superb piece penned by veteran Jonas Gwangwa excellently delivered in that unmistakable highly percussive yet bluesy Afro style! Hugh Masekela is music!

Ms McAllister was probably made for nothing but music! The voice, the lyrics, the emotion, the accompaniment .. & what's more! Is the world out there so deaf or blind as to pass this top-drawer sound by? Then what does it take to become a music icon?

@lisan887 So true. To prove the point the Likes/Dislikes bar is simply green all out, as if no Dislikes exist!!!

The very first version that I came to know way back in '78 that sealed my love for this Bob Dylan classic. Had known Booker T. only as a Hammond-organ wizard with his Memphis outfit The MGs of Stax Records fame. Had no clue that he could also vocally belt out so beautifully. Super stuff!

Can any strings sound like a Gibson for avantgarde jazz? Herb Ellis may be gone but this masterpiece will live on for all time and has sounded magnificently for the past 46 years!!!

South African jive music - popularly known as 'mbaqanga' or 'mgqashiyo' at its best. Performing here are the Mahotella Queens in the persons of Nobesuthu Mbadu (nee Shawe), Hilda Tloubatla & Mildred Mangxola. They are the founders and undisputed champions of this uniquely SA sound which was once ...

Beautiful Afro-Latin sound!

Rock music at its best! Nothing like the pinnacle of musical creativity of the 1970s. Artistry was not only about making money but also creating a music piece of superb and lasting quality! Peter Ham and Tom Evans may be no more but their sound will live on and on and on... Thanks stacks for the ...

How reminiscent of Hugh Masekela's fluegelhorn/trumpet sound! Thanks for uploading.

I am a non-professional guitar player of many years and a great fan of Larry Carlton's and other greats. With respect to ALL out there, the 'best guitar player' thing is but a very personal opinion that also varies according to the genre a person likes as well as the specific piece of music at a ...

The muted trumpet sound how reminiscent of Booty Wood! This is the timeless stuff the world does make any more but that will endure for as long as there are people with a taste for real music. Thanks stacks for the upload.

Music that touches not just the soul but every little part of one's very being. And now not only Otis Redding but also the lamenting singer, Arthur Conley, is sleeping on. They may sleep on but their untarnishable soulful sound will live on.

On this one I feel I could run round the world on my two legs and barefoot without a stop for days and weeks on end! This is a kind of blues that's as blue as can be - and just as current today as it was when the hit saw the light in 1958!

There is nothing like a clear cool acoustic sound to a well-structured song with meaningful lyrics! Beautiful voice and harmonies - just the ingredients that make a piece music a classic that, over time, other artists often take and interpret their own way. This is the type of music that doesn't ...

Thanks for this full version; hence my informed comment on the upload by KatyMcAllisterMusic. Authentic music made to last is generally rarely ever produced these days! Thumbs up!

I just discovered a music star on YT - Katy McAllister!! First bumped into her on Tyler Ward's acoustic remake of We Are The World and saw her as a timid sweet little thing with a beautiful voice but nothing more. Until I browsed more on her - to discover what a solid pack of musical dynamite she...

Kungani le nsizwa ingaziwa kangako emoyeni ekubeni isigqi sayo sisiphula unwele? Amazwi ezinsizwa eziyisekelayo avusa usinga lokuthi ngigiye ngephuke imicondo uma kungenzeka. Ngazithela ngenkulu inhlanhla le ku-CD yayo kwesinye nje isitolo esingadumile nakuduma ngomculo. Ngayidlala ukuthi ibhobok...

Beautiful music, girls. A clean polished acoustic sound and superb vocal harmonies all put together in a well-grounded structure and intelligent lyrics - something becoming ever rarer in today's so-called music. It's this type of stuff that cuts across the racial divide and generations of listene...

A superb acoustic retake of an all-time rock classic. Fantastic playing and a well-engineered sound.

Beautiful music with a clean polished sound - a characteristic of anything I have listened to with Tyler Ward in it. Krista, you rock, girl. I'm from the old school of music where raw talent was measured against a stringent yardstick of structure, meaning and mellifluous vocals. You guys meet tha...

A hallmark of timeless music is structured arrangement, rhythm, meaningful lyrics, powerful vocals and superb sound engineering like this hit of a song here! Keep them rolling in, guys, and you can be sure your stuff will keep jumping off the shelves into the hands of people with an ear for real ...

Can't get enough of this nostalgic reggae-laced vibe from the early 80s - arguably a time that marked the turning point from refined and polished structure to rushed, loose and psychedelic in the field of popular music. Good things are rare and wide apart and will always be sought after and cheri...

Into enje ibizwa umculo - ingoma ehamba negazi ithinte inhliziyo ngako konke ukuhleleka kwayo, izinsimbi zomculo ezidlalwa ngobunyoningco, amaphimbo avumelana nesigqi sakwantu somdabu ingasaphathwa eyomyalezo omayelana nengqinamba yanamuhla engokoqobo ethinta umphakathi womhlaba jikelele. Lolu wu...

Long live the untarnishable sound of Joy - 'Paradise Road' just sounds melliffluous and uplifting no matter how dished out!

Oho! This was the sound of the good old bump-jive days! How time flies and the chicks on the album cover look so unusual now, yet their attire of hot pants and platform shoes was the in-thing way back then. Hamba minyaka! Thanks for posting and please keep them rolling in.
