Think Elton John inherits Aretha Franklin's voice
So it's a lazy rainy day here in central NJ.I wake up early (I guess my mind is in get up to get to the flea market mode),
and I turn on the TV to see some morning show on CBS.
I don't know which, as I hardly ever watch a morning show on CBS.
The odd part, is the 3 hosts (2 women and 1 man) are sampling rye (whiskey) live at 7:30 am. I guess different people define breakfast differently.
Next up a musical performance (2 songs separated by a commercial).
I'm thinking, "oh geez, what commercial crap will this be ?".
And for the most part, I was correct.
Except for the keyboardist (a little talent), not much talent at all, basicly background music.
But, then the vocalist, who looks more like a gay chef, or accountant, or bank teller,
sings. I tell you what, although it looks out of place, the man has soul and a good voice.
You may hear more from him, especially if he goes solo, or gets a better band.
It's as if Elton John got possessed by Aretha Franklin.
I found them on youtube. The name of the band is St. Paul and the Broken Bones.
Here's one of the "tiny desk concerts" (bad acoustics) from NPR

However, he leaves it all out there, sometimes even his shoe.
