I don't get tired of this song.

This solo dance routine by Anna Kochanova to the song Katyusha, in Podolsk, Russia 2013. is quite charming

Classic 70s female vocalist again... quite a different style but an amazing (and tragic) artist nonetheless. The video in particular really captures the period... you don't see stuff like this nowadays.

[rett2]

Just one more, if you'll indulge me.... in case anyone still needs convincing. Soft rock/pop hasn't every been very trendy, but for what it's worth it can be amazing in so many ways... The things you can find on Google-owned Youtube these days

I agree that Karen Carpenter had an awesome voice. I've always detected a touch of sadness when I hear her songs, even the happier ones.

Janis Joplin barely made it into the 1970s, and it would be interesting to see how she would have evolved as an artist had she lived. Her earlier songs were often way intense; she was perhaps the most intense singer up to that point, leaving other singers like Grace Slick and Mama Cass in awe. Shortly before her death, Janis was advised to start changing her singing style or risk having a short career by destroying her vocal cords. It was advice she took to heart. This song is an example of the direction she was headed:

Janis Joplin, totally! So much explosive talent, power and soulfulness at such a young age. Must be proof of reincarnation.

A huge touch of sadness, yeah. That's the twist that really makes the music. It's all over her face and body language in the videos too. And they put them in this 70s TV environment that doesn't want to have anything to do with that. It's weird watching this stuff so many years later, being so much older than those kids. They were grownups and heroes,..... now, knowing more about what people are about you can see them differently. Hard to describe. Less perfect more human.

[Jimbo]

Very true. It often happens that high-level art is born out of pain.

And yes, I do believe in reincarnation, for reasons I won't go into here. Perhaps the soul chooses certain life conditions that will help bring forth certain previous/inherent talents that it wants to express.
