...rock 'n' roll complemented her roots in Andean and tango rhythms and boosted a six-decade career in which she performed with singers as diverse as Luciano Pavarotti, Ray Charles, Shakira and Joan Baez, who was once so moved by Sosa's music that she fell to the vocalist's feet during a concert and kissed her toes. Just months before her death, Sosa released an acclaimed album, Cantora 1, which was nominated for three Latin Grammys...
...Ameya Haldive, 25, Guitarist and Vocalist, Tripwire There are great pubs in the city, but the problems with Mumbai are the distances you have to travel and the constraints of public transport. If you're in Colaba, I'd go to Café Mondegar, tel: (91-22) 2202 0591, which has nearly the best music that I've heard anywhere.

Scanning the Great American Songbook for standards 20 or 30 years old, Paul would roast the chestnut into 2/4 time, add Ford's silky stylings and serve up a million seller like "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise," "I'm Sitting on Top of the World" or "Bye Blue Blues." Musical satisfaction guaranteed. (Read...
...sell the sound to a mass audience, the one man needed one woman: a vocalist. Gene Autry recommended a singer who had worked with him, Colleen Summers. Paul and Summers were lovers from 1946, though they didn't marry until the end of 1949, back in Milwaukee. (Paul got his blood test from the father of Steve Miller, the blues-guitar man.) Summers was with Paul when their car crashed and he broke his back, both collarbones, six ribs and his nose. His right arm and elbow were crushed. Doctors suggested it be amputated, but he said no, so they...
