Men: young Michael Stipe, Syd Barrett. Women: too many to count, but if I had to pick one, Esperanza Spalding. ---

Always been crazy about these [vocalists](https://youtu.be/oe9DA8pO8aQ?t=2243) for Ginger Baker’s Air force. Their vox for _SoYL_ is quite fine and dandy too. On sax is Graham Bond, who I believe is the SO\* of the gal on left. \*apparently the two explored really wierd occult stuff but that’s another thing. ---

Paolo Nuttini is beautiful. I do love that the gravelly voice of what sounds like an old man from the deep south looks like this. ---

Good lord, they sound wonderful and could they be more 70’s cleavage-alicious? 😉 That’s a great version of Sunshine of your Love. Thanks for sharing. ETA: I have to say, man, the drums define that song so much more than the main riff. Listen to that: you have a horn section selling the riff on top of Ginger’s iconic, driving tom-tom beat, and with his playing, it holds the same groove as Cream’s version. He’s such a monster player, but man what a jerk. That documentary on him is priceless. ---

The young Sting was, is, and ever shall be the very essence of ‘utterly gorgeous’. I love a sharp, snooty blonde. Don’t Stand So Close To Me! Second, way back in the 70’s, life sadly cut short, Marc Bolan of T-Rex. I still have some old music magazines with his pictures in it . Just a scrumptious little elfin beauty. Bang A Gong. Third, AdamAnt. He has had some rough times with his health, but again, in the 70’s he too was blessed with a rare beauty. Ant Music will live forever. Honorable mentions: (a tie) the young Billy Idol and the young Jim Morrison. A White Wedding, and yes, you Light My Fire. The delectable Harry Connick Jr. A good looking man back in the 60’s who had absolutely HIDEOUS things done to his face thru very bad plastic surgery, was Dave Clark of the Dave Clark Five. Oh, the poor creature! ---

> [@WordMan](#): > > Good lord, they sound wonderful and could they be more 70’s cleavage-alicious? 😉 That’s a great version of Sunshine of your Love. Thanks for sharing. Glad to oblige. Always had a soft spot for [Lene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A) from Aqua, despite this actually being the only thing I’ve seen her in. Hmmm. Maybe I should do some more internet research. Ryan Goins, though, really bothered me in that video. The music itself - well, if I ever end up in a straightjacket, I can only hope they won’t be pumping this one into the rubber room 24/7. (Worse than the ol’ Ludovico!) ---
