You must have been listening to Blues (or was it Jazz or Rock N Roll?)

After learning all about jazz, the blues and rock & roll, I'd like to share with you some of my personal favourites.

I absolutely love George Michael's "Kissing A Fool". Yes I know Michael Buble has done a cover of this song and there are other great jazz crooners like Norah Jones but this song is my idea of a perfect blues/jazz piece - airy, velvety smooth and relaxing. I can almost see the stars in the night sky whenever I hear this song:



Never really got interested in blues - as the name suggests it refers to the feelings of melancholy and sadness. But for all those blues fans out there, one of the most famous of them all is B.B. King, who incidentally celebrates his 84th birthday TODAY! :) Here's to one of the greatest Blues musician of all times:



You'd notice the blues has a definitive beat that is slow but goes on throughout the song. Rock & roll on the other hand has a fast and upbeat tempo and is a favourite to dance to :):



Rock Around The Clock
Orignal Singer: Bill Haley

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock,
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock,
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

Put your glad rags on and join me, hon,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down we'll yell for more,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

When the chimes ring five, six and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then,
Start a rockin' round the clock again.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.
