1. What is your favorite rap/hip-hop performance?
I still like “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang. It just has its own umami, unlike any other early rap.
2. What is your favorite soul performance?
“What’s Goin’ On” by Marvin Gaye
3. What is your favorite movie soundtrack song?
This one is so difficult and can change at any given mood. But I heard this yesterday and remembered how much I loved the entire soundtrack and listened to it over and over. “Chariots of Fire” by Vangelis
4. What is your favorite country/western performance?
There is a long back story with this one around the time my father was dying of cancer and gathering with the support of friends and family and listened to a lot of music together.
“He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones (plus that head of hair – man on man!)
5. What is your favorite rock anthem?
I listen to a lot of classic rock. BTW, Van Halen – is just ok. Van Hager – is way over-rated but I digress. My favorite rock anthem is a song I will always rewind and give another loud dancing relistne. Jeff Lynn needs some love. “Do Ya” by ELO.
