Entertainment: Music: Throwback: Joe Cocker (1944 - 2014)

I was a part of the Google Plus social network for a few years.  But then Google shut down its network.  When it was alive, one of the fun things people liked to do was called "Throwback" OR "Throwback Thursday". It was so much fun. People shared stuff from back in the day. Usually, my shares were YouTube videos.

Entertainment: Music: Throwback: Randy Crawford ~ Everything Must Change

"Everything Must Change" is a timeless classic. - In life, everybody sings this song, if they live.

"Everything Must Change" is one of those songs that if an artist dares to mess this up when performing it, there will be no forgiveness for sins. Nope!! The song police will be called by me and I will demand that they are arrested! STOPPED!!!




* Randy Crawford – who could never sing any song in a way that would displease anybody – sang this song and stamped it in my memory. Nobody has a voice like this woman.

* My husband found a rendition by the late but still awesomely great Nina Simone.

* Found a duet performance with the inimitably soulful Chaka Khan and unquestionably soulful Simply Red.

They can all relax. Will not have to call the song police for any of them.


  • IN MEMORY OF:  Nina Simone (1933 – 2003)














Entertainment: Music: Throwback: I Don't Wanna Fight ~ Tina Turner

I admire Tina Turner. She was a strong soul sista. There came a time in her life when she was a “turning point”. She is a role model for women who are in abusive relationships. She shows them what they need to do. Especially if children are involved. I liked this song because I can feel Tina's heart and soul in it when she sings it. Her heart was bleeding and she knew the best way was to just move on. She picked up the pieces and walked off!!

In my opinion, “All the Best – The Hits” and “Simply the Best” are her “best”! 



She is retired now and for your information, she performed her last concert in Austin, Texas, my current hometown.  I did not attend but according to those who did, she was Tina Turner all the way to the end!!  :)

Entertainment: Music: Throwback: It Came From the '90s: Janet Jackson (Reblog)

This is a great blog with a great blog post.  The link that the blog publisher meant to share was to a music video for one of my favorite Janet Jackson songs.  Unfortunately, the video in the post is no longer available.  But the post along with its content is available and it's a really good read.  Check it out!  (I found the YT video and put it in this post.)

Hindi or Indian Entertainment ~ Yuvvraaj (2008) ~ Hurray for Bollywood Music!!

There was once a wonderful community on Google Plus called “Bollywood (Hindi/Indian) Music”.  Members are asked to share Hindi/Indian music they like or love.  G+ shut down April 2019, but the community was deleted even before that.  Nevertheless ...

Hurray for Bollywood Music!!


Two videos were submitted by me to the now-defunct community.  The music was actually American songs that had been performed by famous Bollywood stars.

Shahrukh Khan performed a timeless classic “Stand By Me”; and 

Priyanka Chopra performed, "In My City", a collaborative crossover effort with hip hop all-star Will I. Am.

The truth is, at the time, there were so many songs and so much music from Indian films that I've enjoyed it was difficult to choose.  But I finally settled on one.

The video below is a clip from a movie - Yuvvraaj.

The stars are Salman Kahn, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor. All of the music for this film is incredible! But this performance by Anil Kapoor is unbelievable!!
