Christine Ohlman The "Beehive Queen" gets real. Singer, songwriter, guitarist, music scholar. You might know her as Sat. Night Live's lead singer but she's had a good independent career.

Jose Feliciano OK, not blue eyes but no denying his soulfulness. Since his first in '64 to 2012, his work has been consistently excellent, both in English and Spanish.

Paul Young No longer the histrionic pretty boy he once was (35+ years in music will do that to you), he's always been a smooth songster. Here's proof:

Since the turn of the century, his focus has been on brown-eyed soul (Tex-Mex) with this outfit--singing, playing and song-writing. Here's more and some tunes: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-pacaminos-mn0000852648 << who'da thunk it? Great stuff and big fun--isn't that the point?
