...influence by the three decades of Stones music. The first and perhaps the most highly touted song, "Love Is Strong," finds Mick Jagger more low and guttural than ever before. The repetitive and harsh guitar work and drumming brings to mind Keith Richards' "Wicked As It Seems," which he sang with his solo project, the Expensive Winos. "The Worst," the fifth song on the album, also smacks more of Richards' style. It marks the Stones' most definitive return to their beginnings in the Blues...
...mouth and let her soul emerge, we all fell silent. This woman can sing. A breathy, deep, honey-rich tone filled the microphone and, I'm sure made the hair on the hyenas' backs stand on end. I don't remember any of the words to the songs she sang, but she and her band started our viewing off with spirit.

I confess that I only knew this song from the movie "Dazed and Confused," and had probably never heard WAR's version of it, but I danced and reveled in it nonetheless. They played many more of their songs which...
...Enrico Caruso's sons was once asked whether his father sang for pleasure. "No," the young Caruso replied, "my father sang for money." Anyone who believes that the big payday looming for Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti this week in Los Angeles is unprecedented ought to think again. The Three Tenors don't approach in earning power or popularity such predecessors as Caruso and John McCormack. Both earned millions while singing everything from Vesti la giubba to Come into the Garden, Maud at a time when the income tax was either nonexistent or in its infancy and when a dollar...
