The Sam Cooke version remains untouched - but I find myself going back to this Al Green performance every few months to hear my theme song (so to speak):

 

 

Great music! What a voice and passion.

I have always found musical discovery so much better on Spotify than Apple Music.  However for those that like melodic house and electronic I rate this playlist updated weekly from Apple. This week’s set has some crackers. Probably showing my age but some great Ambient House vibes.

 

THE UNDERGROUND

 

If your idea of an amazing night out is a black-box room with sweaty walls, one light bulb, a banging system and a sign on the door that reads “no phones or photography allowed,” then this set is for you. Indulge in an open-minded mix of avant-garde house, techno and other forms of dance music that fall comfortably, intoxicatingly left of centre. We update this playlist every week. If you like a track, add it to your library

Apple's had a year now to learn what I like (jazzy, funky, lofi with stabs of Les Claypool) but it still sends questionable recommendations. I've never tried Spotify but might give it a whirl.

It’s easy to hear how hip-hop descended from jazz: Not only are both rooted in Black expression, but both depend on that alchemical confluence of rhythm and mood we call flow. So when we say “jazz” here, it isn’t jazz in the traditional sense but jazz as filtered through hip-hop pioneers like Q-Tip, Madlib, and J Dilla before being passed down to a whole new generation of beatmakers whose music—low-key, chilled-out, intricate but subtly so—tweaks the sound while keeping tradition intact. Our editors update picks here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library (IOW, get off your bum and curate some mix tapes bc we're kinda meh at it).

Dude just strolls out and wails on Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm learning this song now and it's the most complicated piece I've ever played. If I play it reeeally slow I can get the octave jumps at the top with my LH 2 and RH 5 fingers (if you know, you know). Never mind trying to sing it just yet. FM is a legend.

I love this song, but the choreography is out of this world:

This is a hoot.  The kids and I have been taking this for a spin.  The ability to come up with lyrics for inputs such “Midget goats who like ice cream” - rock, “Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme”-punk, “Recipe for a soufflé”-hip hop.

 

The music is actually pretty good and the lyric and title generation had us in stitches.  Highly recommend, especially if you liked Spinal Tap 😁

I think movies soundtracks are pretty much modern day classical music (or perhaps Operas ). Even classical composers had to work on what payed the bills.
