We must remember Whitney ...

RIP Whitney ..... and may you find peace on your continuing journey ...

.... a wonderful voice ... she will be sadly missed by many..

Its hard to know where to start, I would never wish anyone ill, but I really did not like the music and if I never have to hear "I will always...." ever again, it will be a good day

Another victim of fame and being "managed" by people who do not have the artist's best interests at heart

I, like you, did not care much for the music - but she did (before she damaged it) have a wonderful voice.

It is sad when the industry & fame does this to an artist.

I was never a particular fan of her music but I posted that link because it is a 'special tribute' link.

She did have a most amazing voice though with incredible range and power. Paul Gamber(can't spell his name!), I'm sure you know who I mean, was saying this morning that she is a cousin of Dionne Warwick. I can now see a similarity in looks and voice. Her mother Cissy Houston was a gospel singer, so she certainly came from a line of great vocalists.

I only found out about these guys a few months back when they started following me on Twitter.

They follow you on twitter?

I really don't like social networking sites (I swore I would never join one), but as a freelancer I was told that Twitter and Facebook can be a really good way of drumming up business.

Although I mostly use Twitter for business I do inevitably post links about music and Twitter is really useful for keeping track of artists and labels: I'm always discovering new music. Some bands and labels follow me back and then through their connections I get the odd artist following me who I haven't heard of before. Push are another good example:

http://youtu.be/VLtj24m9B-g

I love the BGP sound of the Link Quartet - a bit similar to Speedometer although they are on more of a heavy Funk vibe than straight up Acid Jazz:

I'll forgive you Snow Patrol - I feared it might have been Whitney....

That said, this version of "I will always love you" is the real deal

Paul Nero's Blue Sounds - Big Beat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdcESxB8QXI&feature=related

Nice, but possibly a little too laid back for me, a little too much like part of a 60's film soundtrack?

Just got a reasonably rare L42 Promo only LP on vinyl today - some stuff I hadn't hear before - both Gould Bros still on board - mostly cool (ish) - pre "pop-funk" era

Whatever it is, it's certainly got to be more interesting than the rest of the drama on the forum - someone wake me up when it's all over.

Wake-up Scara .... dramas are over, for the time being  ;) and something v. interesting has happened ...... Gonners has returned. So, how about that then ....  :)
