I'm predominantly a metal fan but sometimes the odd song from a different genre makes me feel guuuuuuuuuuud.

One of these is' Don't stop til you get enough' by Michael Jackson. It just makes your body move without you even knowing about it.

 

Superb

This, but with Superstition by Stevie Wonder. Just a classic song.

Heard this t'other day, not heard it for a long while, can't stop playing it now.

You have never been in love
until you've seen the stars
reflect in the reservoirs

And you have never been in love
until you've seen the dawn rise
behind the Home for the Blind

We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
and you're standing on our streets
where Hector was the
first of the gang with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die, oh my

Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die, oh my

You have never been in love
until you've seen the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bone

We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
and you're standing on our streets
where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die
Such a silly boy

Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet
and the first lost lad
to go under the sod

And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not very rich and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away
He stole all hearts away
He stole all hearts away
Away...
He stole all hearts away
Away...

Ha frogg cheers for that! I don't know how to post vids so it's always good when I get a helping hand. The live version doesn't do the song justice though but it's still crackers.

Play the video on Youtube, right mouse click on the video, select copy video url. Right mouse click on your post on here and paste, wait a few seconds and hey presto your video appears.

Elizabeth Cotten here aged about 92.

This incredible lady could still play guitar superbly at her ripe old age with her original style that became known as Cotten Picking. 

She's playing her guitar upside down isn't she ? i.e. her top E is at the top as opposed to the bottom. I bet you that's because a proper left handed guitar was too dear or hard to come by when she started playing. Good on her, I love it when somebody posts something I haven't seen or heard before, nice one. :thumbsup:
