...falsetto in the gospel group the Swan Silvertones, which he founded, Claude Jeter influenced a number of performers with songs such as "Careless Soul" and "Mary Don't You Weep." The latter has a lyric that inspired Simon and Garfunkel's famous tune "Bridge over Troubled Water." Jeter...
...Miss I viewed with interest "Pictures That Mattered" [Dec. 29]. On May 2, 2008, an enormous cyclone named Nargis hit the delta region of southern Burma.

Then she told me that I'm attached to ascended masters and that one of these mentors is Abraham Lincoln. I think I was supposed to be excited about this, but it's not as if I'm constantly dealing with civil wars or freeing slaves. If I'm going to have someone dead...
