Top 5 albums by a Male Solo Artist – Listography

I’m really excited, I’ve never done a Listography before. It’s Kate Takes 5‘s little baby and it’s fun, for my first entrance I am to name my Top 5 albums by a Male Solo Artist and it’s proving more difficult than I thought but without a doubt my first choice goes to

George Benson

Probably better known for ‘Give me the night’ which went platinum but Nature Boy sung in the video was my all time favourite song of his

Prince

A master of music and the song/album must be Purple Rain, I can still listen to it today and get what I did back then….’I never meant to cause you any sorrow, I never meant to cause you any pain… beautiful

Stevie Wonder

But which album? He penned so many ‘You are The Sunshine of My Life’ went straight into the top 10 when first released and today we still sing ‘I Just Called To Say I Love you’ Everyone knows the words but today I give you Superstitious I love the beat to it it makes me happy and want to dance

David Bowie

A super hero in music my only regret is I never saw him live and I would have loved to. Have you seen his doscography? It’s massive and I love them all so the one song I give you today is We can Be Heros

Peter Gabriel

A man who had enormous influence in the 80′s and carried on producing beautiful music right through I’ve chosen a song which he sings here with Kate Bush another fantastic voice from the 80′s Don’t Give Up. A beautiful message and if you’re feeling a little bit down this will pick you up and give the strength to carry on

That’s it guys, that’s my five, ok I didn’t name Albums but I have given you some of my favourite songs now head over to Kate Takes 5 to see what everyone else came up with and have a great weekend
PS – did you like my song choices or did I forget someone? Let me know

    Great list and most impressed by your video entries :) I love that Peter Gabriel track – it was on Now 13 or something – the first Now I ever got and I thought I was soooo cool! I saw Bowie for his Heroes tour and he was still awesome. Saw Prince –  I was obsessed by Purple Rain and even visited his club in Minneapolis. (I’m over it now though!)
    Thanks for joining in – fab :)

      Huh? I don’t know whether to love you or hate you? You have seen two of my top male singers, I am so jealous, lucky you x
      I bet I miss the next prompt now – best nip over and keep an eye out for it

    I have always loved David Bowie, and that has to be one of my favourite songs… :)   I had the pleasure of doing a bit of work for Mr Gabriel many moons ago.  He has the most beautiful eyes, and is one of the nicest people :)
