    Just for fun...admit this...:)

    If you could make over a song...get on a stage and perform...what song would that be? I know some of you are already singers and musicians recorded and unrecorded...but what is YOUR SONG you know you could knock the heck out of in performance should you get that opportunity?

    I always envision my self doing something in a 'Black Rock' sort of way...like Bettye Davis...Id like to take a stab at "LIVE IT UP' by the Isleys...not to mention a few other songs...

    My mum tells me I sing like a cat being strangled, so I ought to pass on this one. But I like the suggestion.

    If I could sing, I'd love to try Stevie Wonder's "Sho Be Do Be Do Dah day" or The Temps "I See You Clear Thru My Tears".

    Ladyvanaye, it's Gladys Knight & The Pips, "Didn't You Know You had to Cry Sometime." Girl, I would work that ending,

    For fear of being stoned.....I'll have to pass on this one. My Rottie has better 'pitch' than I do. Though, in this day of singers, that doesn't seem to be a requirement in singing! OK....my song would be "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted".

    Oh my damn! LOL! I agree with the Stevie cut...that is a bad uptempo jam.

    Gladys is my #1 living girl singer! Id love to give a whirl at more than a few of her songs...But her version of 'You Need Love Like I do Dont You'...with that Motown sound? Woooo!

    Because of my ozark accent, MOR crossover country suits my voice best... so England Dan And John Ford Coley's "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight" is the perfect song for me.
