1) "Tainted Love" - Soft Cell. Classic 80s.

3) "The Cross Said It All" - Kim Hopper. This song has an amazing message.
4) "L'Amour" - Carla Bruni. Carla has a beautiful voice. A beautiful voice singing in French is breathtaking. The whole "Queslqu'un m'a dit" CD is fabulous.

Artist Spotlight: The 5 Browns
I love to hear the piano. Throw in FIVE pianos, and I am definitely in awe. That's what I came across while downloading music - a talented group of 5 pianists. According to the New York Post, "One family, five pianos and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years."You can learn more about the Browns at their website. They currently have two albums available. "No Boundaries" (pictured) is their latest project.

1) "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" - KT Tunstall. This track would fit right in on a Classic Rock station, but it's new.
2) "Standing Still" - Jewel. This ballad has been out a good while, but I really like the lyrics.
3) "Hanging By A Moment" - Lifehouse. Their latest single ("You and Me") is great, but I think this one is awesome.
4) "It's the End of the World As We Know It" - R.E.M. I have always been a fan of R.E.M., and this is my favorite of their songs.

Here's five more...
1) "Just a Little Talk With Jesus" - J.D. Sumner. J.D. had the world's record for the lowest voice. Listen, and be impressed.
2) "Let Us Break Bread Together" - The Stamps Quartet. This is J.D.'s quartet. Their blend is an example of harmonic perfection. Pay close attention to the bass on this one too.
3) "Someone to Watch Over Me" - Ella Fitzgerald. A classic from the jazz great.
4) "Like a Rolling Stone" - Bob Dylan. Rolling Stone magazine called this the best song of the century. That may be a bit of an overstatement, but it is a great song.
5) "Over My Head (Cable Car)" - The Fray. I'm just in love with this song. It describes betrayal, and that feeling you get when things are not in your control.
