I love it when someone posts a new link in this thread. I get to see what they like, and I always find new things on the sidebars.
Watch Roy Clark's face as he attempts to keep up with his fingers.

Roy Clark is an awesome talent---it is a shame that most people know him from Hee Haw without really appreciating the scope of his talent.
He has to rank at the top of banjo players.

Roy Buchanan from a 1976 “Austin Live” performance playing Hey, Joe. Roy Buchanan is a legendary little known performer except to guitar aficionados who uniformity recognize him as one of the Blues greats. He died in 1988.

No matter how deeply I am involved in other things, with music in the background, this never fails to grab my full attentions as soon as it begins.
Sheryl Crow proves to be one of the few "popular" singers able to hold her own against the "master".

I wouldn’t have believed Sheryl Crow could hit the notes even if her voice was kind of weak. She may have been somewhat restrained merely from the intimidation factor. It would take a lot of gumption to get on a stage and sing with Pavarotti even if you were trained for the venture. The best voice of our times, Imho.
Try this one on for size — a duet with Pavarotti and James Brown —

Sheryl Crow? I would never have guessed it! She has more than I previously thought.

There’s all kinds of genius, as that duet illustrates, I think.

Wow, James Brown with Pavarotti! I would never have thought of both of them on the same stage.

Here’s another duet with two of the finest talents of my time — Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong — performing one of my favorite tunes — Summertime. Excuse me if I posted this before in this thread...too many here to go back and check. Anyway, it bears repeating. Ella was arguably at the very top of female singing talent lists with a glorious natural, untrained voice and perfect pitch. Satchmo was truly one of a kind everyone misses.

It came up on my home playlist today and I thought I would share it.
