I guess the entertainment rags are having a good time playing and replaying her tacky abuse of Beyonce and her tackier comment about Obama’s ears. I didn’t vote for the guy, but I don’t think I’d go out of my way to publicly say some of the stupid stuff that in the end makes her look pretty dumb.
The thing that bugs me is that I really like the song, At Last.
I have this terrible character flaw in relation to music. I don’t know how it happened, but I am annoyed when I have a happy little collection of music that is mine, all mine, and no one else seems to take an interest in it, and then it becomes trendy. Understand that on a very rational level, I get that At Last was a hit before I was even paying attention to nursery rhymes. I get it. Really.
Still, I am annoyed by all the attention people are giving it. Ha! I am the master of irrational behavior, just ask my children.
If people start giving Carmen McRae an inordinate amount of attention, I want you to know that you heard about her here.
AT LAST.. what a hit!! Carmen McRae “did” that song at The Club Atlantis ( Hyatt House Hotel, Atlanta)and brought the house down.
Who knows may be because of this abuse of Beyonce. “At Last” will hit the top ten again…What a country !!!
Love,
POP
There is no doubt that Beyonce’s version will hit the charts, especially since she is playing Etta James in a movie. I think Beyonce can be over the top, but she’s marketable and that’s what makes the world go ’round. I’m sure there are some women out there that can give Etta a run for her money on that song. I would have loved to hear Carmen mcRae sing it live. Wow.
I think you spoiled me a little with the music you brought back from the club. 😉
Wow, I recognize that album cover from Pop’s collection of vinyl. Wow.
Next you’ll mention some guy in a tacky tuxedo playing the accordion or something…
