>>I am so happy and relieved to be working again I went running this morning. An old pastime, long ignored. I took the loaded iPod with me and dialed it to k.d. lang. My god, what a voice. There are American Idol like singers and then there are those who are blessed. She is in the latter group. She can blow the roof off without even trying. I love listening to her.

>Another voice I would like to suggest is Roy Orbison. 'Crying' (with K.D. Lang) to get you started. Mystery Girl, I Drove All Night, A Love So Beautiful and many more.

You and me both. He had probably the best voice ever. He and k.d. lang did some nice duets.
