How important has music been/is in your life?

[Roosters for ever]

Obvious? Maybe. Tony Bennett gave his last public performance at age 95, with a duet with Lady Gaga. Just sayin. (though it seems like aging male voices get a little more leeway than female, which doesn't seem quite fair)

Nana was world touring until a few years ago, and is also among the highest selling female artist of all time, depending on what that entails. She does/has sung in many languages and speaks at least 5 fluently.

The Johnnie Ray clip is interesting, partly due to my having heard him referred to in Come on Eileen, by Dexys Midnight Runners.

He was known as Cry baby Johnny or the cry guy due to his emotive performances and his signature tune "Cry"

(The presenter of that clip is "The singing rage! Miss Patti Page"
