And so, at great request
"...when in life you thought you'd heard it all" THE SERIES!
Sam Sacks - Yodel Blues
And here it is, THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF TONE-DEAF SINGERS!
At the beginning there were Florence Foster Jenkins and Mrs. Miller, and after them, nothing was ever the same.
Especially the incredible success of Mrs. Miller gave rise to an underground world that no one even suspected existed: Johnny "Bowtie" Barstow, Anna-Lisa Ingemansson, Shooby Taylor, Bingo Gazingo, Neil Dick, Sam Chalpin... and so many others, all the way to Leona Anderson, the zero point of vocal possibilities in music, the absolute genius of non-singing (after all, her album is titled "Music to Suffer By"...)!
All different, each with their own peculiar style, a personal story, and a specific talent (because even being tone-deaf requires a certain skill).
A universe that I will - sooner or later - address with the due attention and space (you have been warned); perhaps with a series of tailored listening sessions...
For now - as an appetizer - here is Sam Sacks!
And with Sam, we will wrap up this series of listens for now; not because there aren't many other oddities to hear! But because - I'm afraid - I have overloaded your poor, weak, and sparse neurons... You need time to absorb such novelties and understand their genius.
