I would love to hear what folks feel are the artists that have affected them the most over the long haul.The ones who resonate spiritually.My top choices are keith jarrett,joni mitchell,and peter gabriel.Who moves you?
For me it is almost always the folk singers and trubadour types. The gals and guys that touch me not only with what they say but how they say it. People like Danny O'Keefe, Gordon Lightfoot, Richard Thompson, Tim Hardin, Tom Rush, Joni Mitchell, Eric Anderson, and Nick Drake come to mind. I would have to throw early songs by James Taylor, Paul Simon, Neil Young and Steve Stills in there as well. Cheers, Lee
Well I certainly am no Streisand fan but when she sings "People" it really touches me, so heartfelt. Eva Cassidy's recording of "What a Wonderful World" give me goosebumps as it was her last recording before her most untimely death. It is too bad this wonderful talent wasn't really appreciated to the degree she should have been but finally realized after she was gone.
I am deeply moved by individual performances of many songs. There are uncountable performances by many artists and I wouldn't know where to start.
Trane, Monk, Miles, Mingus, Frank Foster, Billy Higgins, Buddy Guy, Ray Brown, Benny Green, BB King, John Lee Hooker, Samuel Barber, Bach, Tower of Power, Albert Collins, SRV, The Isley Brothers . . . well, you get the idea . . .
