I will admit that my taste in music has always been mature. While other guys were head banging or playing the latest Rush album when I was a kid, I liked to listen to standards or the music of the Rat Pack – the 1960’s lush lounge music or horn heavy Motown soul. For this week’s weekend ear candy, I am highlighting “Crazy”, the first hit for the singer Seal from 1991. Sure it was a popular song on the radio then, reaching number seven on the Billboard Music Charts, but my friends thought it was a one off novelty song and they didn’t follow his career like I did.
I like his music because of the use of strings and horns on many tunes and the funky electronic sequencing like on “Crazy”. And yes I am jealous that he is married to super model Heidi Klum. Here is a live performance of “Crazy”.
