Oh wow, THIS was Solomon Burke?!

Barry Mann...hmm...I've heard stuff by him before, I just didn't know that was the artist. Here's another:

I did not realize that Michael went on to a career after The Monkees. This is certainly a different genre of music for him, but it sounds like he found his 'style'.

And to take us back to something classical; most people know Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, though they may not know the name. What most people DON'T know, is the famous part is just the first movement of an IMO brilliant composition.

From Blues Brothers 2K:

Wow. I did not realize he lived that long. 89! I also did not realize he only passed in 2017. Here's another of his wonderful pieces.

TSFH and Thomas Bergersen again, but this time with a Bulgarian folk group doing an arrangement of a traditional Bulgarian Folk piece. This one is interesting, because of how it came about. Apparently, Thomas Bergersen used part of a Bulgarian folk song ("Izlel ye Delyo Haydutin") in a...

This is another TSFH piece, composed by Thomas Bergersen. Merethe Soltvedt has an amazing voice, and I would really REALLY have liked the opportunity to sing with her at some point. Listening to her do the vocals in the song, she just sounds like she is having so much FUN.
