richjob7) Roberta Flack - The first time I ever saw your face.
They played this at my sister's wedding. Dread!
Roberta works this tune in a way that nobody modern could. Well... apart from Mariah.
Random lyric:
"I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave "
8) Biggest part of me - Take 6
Remake of the old Ambrosia song.
Remember my dislike of teh gospel and worship acts? These guys are one of the few exceptions I will make. Voices like whoa! and they can rock it acapella style too. Brian Mc Knight's brother and some friends. The gospel reworking of the words are kinda obvious, but the voices~! make it work.
Lyric: "(For better) for me there's nothin' better
You're the biggest part of me"
9) Setembro (Brazilian Wedding Song) - Quincy Jones (featuring Take 6, Sarah Vaughn.
Quincy Jones again. One of Sarah's last recordings, I think.
No words, just harmonization. Magic.
10) Badiyah - Take 6.
Vocal drabble. Take 6 channel Phillip Bailey of Earth Wind and Fire scarily well. Harmony again.
Again, the mood changes.
11) Chris "Tambu" Herbert - The Journey Now Start. The "Charlie's Roots vocalist that was not david Rudder. Great singer in his own right. Was a theme of the early part of the 1989 World Cup campaign, after the 1-1 draw with the USA.
Big, big tune.
12) Des'ree - You Gotta Be.
I'll admit, this one I skip quite a bit. More inspirational again.
Lyrics:
"Listen as your day unfolds,
challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted,
don't be shamed to cry
You gotta be..
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold,
you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough,
you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm,
you gotta stay together.
All I know, all I know
Love will save the day"
