Heaven is a Place on Earth -- Belinda Carlisle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOGEyBeoBGM

Boring video but I kinda like the song. Back when I lived with a good buddy of mine and a professional drummer, she was a big Go-Gos/Belinda Carlisle fan, while he was all about the Bangles/Susanna Hoffs. Meaning if one of them played one group/singer's album, the other would always insist we had to hear the other group/singer next (both ladies went solo while I knew them).

I refused to commit to either, but fortunately enjoyed both.

Making up and Breaking Up -- Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

The post-WWII jazz era had so many wonderful female voices - off the top of my head I can think of Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, Ernestine Anderson, Etta Jones, Diana Reeves, Nina Simone, Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney. Even Aretha Franklin - her first desire was to be a jazz and blues singer in the tradition of Bessie Smith - a passion which she returned to later in her career.

And Sarah Vaughan. Broken-Hearted Melody was a cross-over hit for her, making the Top 40 radio playlists. I was about ten years old when I heard this song, and I was captivated by the voice. It was so totally unlike anything else coming through that airwaves of WDGY and KDWB in the Twin Cities. The song is a pushover for her prodigious talents, but she adds a haunting vocalization that cuts through some of the trite da-da-das in the background.

I think this live version is better than the studio. She adds some vamps, like the way she slithers her body and her voice just after the 2:00 as she sings about "his tender love". And the cute way she wraps up the song at about 2:46.
