Black Velvet was so soulful. What happened to female artists today? Gaga, Perry, Spears etc...? They’re all show, (mostly vulgar), with no song writing talent. A good song used to tell a story, know it’s all about bodily functions. Nobody has to show their tush if they have genuine talent!
Oops. “know” it’s all about”=now it’s all about

I agree with you on all those...that kind of music makes me sick. I call it cotton candy music. I don’t know if you know her music or will like it, but check out Florence of Florence and the Machine. She’s an amazing talent. Not just on video, but can sing live, too, in radio studios just off the cuff. Wonderful lyrics in her songs, too. And what a beauty! Lots of new artists on alternative radio are giving me hope that we are coming out of the “dark ages” as my 16 year old told me not too long ago. Interesting lyrics...songs that are meaningful.
I’ll link a couple here of Florence...live stuff. The radio one mini-concert is THE best.
