(September 1, 1953 – April 11, 2013)
Singer. Songwriter. Musician.

Don Blackman’s Don Blackman is one of the best albums ever recorded. Almost every song on that record is a classic. He never received his just due, but his music will live on forever. Whenever I want to experience beauty I just play Heart’s Desire or Morning Sunrise;)

Alice Smith is by far my favorite, living female vocalist. NO ONE has a voice like hers. What an amazing year of music so far with my favorite living, male vocalist, Bilal, also releasing a new album, A Love Surreal, (an amazing record, don’t sleep on it…) just a month ago! Both in the same year for me is like heaven. Not to mention Jamie Lidell and Alice Russell’s new releases as well;) Please support all of ‘em by buying their amazing music so they can all continue to make the magic happen.
