On Rita Coolidge’s birthday, here she is singing “Superstar.”

Next to the word ‘beautiful’ in the dictionary, there should be a link to Rita singing this song. And yes, I understand it would have to be an online dictionary.

Here’s a great one from birthday boy Willie Nelson. “Blues Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain” has always been one of my favorite Willie tunes.

This one also demonstrates how underrated Willie is as a guitar player.

I love me some Leon Russell!

This cat is uniquely amazing, from his beautifully distinctive voice to  the brilliant songwriting and outstanding piano playing.

He’s played with more diverse artists than anyone I can think of, from the Rolling Stones to Frank Sinatra and all points in between.

Leon has done so many things that make my heart sing, but none more than the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour he orchestrated with Joe Cocker and Rita Coolidge.

Here he is playing one of my favorites, “Stranger in a Strange Land.” The title pretty much sums up the way I’ve always viewed my life :-)

Peter Gabriel: Rock & Roll Video

Since it’s the phenomenal Peter Gabriel’s birthday, here he is rockin’ “Big Time” live.

This song has one of the best lyrics EVER, and it fits my Rock & Roll Philosophy perfectly. “And the heaven will be a big heaven, and I will walk through the front door.”

Enjoy the video and have fun!
