I will not dance
U-tube ^ | Chi Coltrane

Posted on 08/01/2010 9:57:44 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Chi Coltrane, one of the most underrated female singer/songwriters in history, originally did this song in 1973, the same time as the Watergate mess. Presumably it was originally meant to be an anti-war song as well as a slam at Pres. Nixon. But it is even more apropos today. She is a lib, like most of her colleagues, but not the worst of them. In fact she's a very classy lady who, even after all these yrs. would make Lady Ga-Ga look like Helen Thomas.

Nifty toe tapper that fits Obama more than the singers original anti Vietnam era target.

Sort of a Bo Derek lookin gal....

Great tune, good video . . . but every time I wanted to see her hands, the camera was doing something else, and vice versa.

"Chi Coltrane, one of the most underrated female singer/songwriters in history"

Amen to that.

What a total package she was (still great, but a few decades ago...wow!)

She should be a household name.

She was in 1972, "Thunder and Lightning" was one of the biggest hits that year. But she faded from the scene and has a following in Europe. She released a new album a few months ago in Germany that's supposed to be available here.

“”Thunder and Lightning” was one of the biggest hits that year.”

Sure, now I remember her!

No offense intended, but- here is a MUCH better female singer/songwriter from the same period:
