Two movies worth finding and watching.

First, "Twenty Feet From Stardom", about great backup singers such as Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, and many others.

Here is the trailer:

Second, "Miss Sharon Jones". Great talent with an amazing and ultimately unfortunate life story.

First song by Ray Charles that I heard and enjoyed so much was What'd I Say. Used to go on car trips with friends chanting that song similar to the Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne's World. LOL. Was a big fan of his.

"Because I'm Me" by The Avalanches. Long form video worth watching all the way through for the ending with a "big heart"!

The underlying sample track is the extended version of "Want Ads" by The Honeycomb...

Another cute video from The Avalanches. I'm assuming the vocalist is Black...
