Album Description
As an arranger, composer, pianist, and producer, Duke Pearson was Blue Note's secret weapon for more than a decade. This 1967 all-star octet session features 6 great Pearson tunes and arrangements. Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding, and Stanley Turrentine are the primary soloists. This music pops with vitality. An alternate take of "Los Malo Hombres" has been added to the original LP.
Customer Reviews:
No doubt about it! .......2007-02-23
It's a honor to be the first one to review this excellent recording. I just purchased this re-release by Mr. RVG and all I gotta say is thanks a million, because this one is superb beyond belief. From the moment I became a jazz fan I also became almost immediately a big fan of Duke Pearson. Yet, I had only one album of his as a leader 'Sweet Honey Bee' (which by the way I give a 4.5!)and I still had some doubts about just how good this one could possibly be. Apparently, according to many jazz experts I've read, RVG has already remastered all the classics and most of these newest re-releases are sub-great. Well, I can tell you that statement is a terrible generalization on top of just plain arrogance. I love this recording and it already is becoming one of my personal favorites. Duke is an amazing composer as well as being one of the greatest jazz pianists of all-time . And that line-up of his with Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax), James Spaulding (alto sax) ... do I need to go on or are you kind of getting the picture. Stanley T. and Freddie were at the top of their game in 67! It's just an A+ performance by the whole octet.
By the way, their bossa nova love ballad "My Love Awaits (O' Meu Amor Espero)" has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music my ears have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I play it over and over again, each time seeming to love it more than the last. As Nat Hentoff wrote in his original liner notes "...it's as close to a flawless performance as one can find..."
If you are a fan of any of these cats, then definitely purchase this album. I can't recommend this enough! These guys give great performances with not one of them stealing or hogging the spotlight from the others. That's one thing I really love about Duke P. is that he loves to share the love - he gives each member of the band their equal time to shine with their solos. And do they ever shine and deliver the goods!!!

Amerie's 2002 debut, All I Have, found tough guys and urban sophisticates alike tangled up in the question of "Why Don't We Fall in Love?" It spawned a collaboration with Nas, and ignited a cult of cool around black-Korean culture. With her exotic looks and draw-the-shades sound, the smoky-eyed chanteuse came by her frothy fan base fairly. With Touch she pulls through for a second exercise in sultry, solid sound. Two tracks on this disc grab hold instantly: "1 Thing" forges its way from an R&B-spiked pop place into rockier territory, and "Touch" taunts Amerie's more amorous disciples with an expert sexiness. Tucked in are Whitney Houston-esque pop pleasers and a collaboration with Carl Thomas, "Can We Go," that feels friendly and unforced; other songs hint at a Mary J. Blige influence that will serve Amerie well as she struts her way toward serious musician status. --Tammy La Gorce

Smart and Sexy!!.......2007-07-17
One cannot deny that Amerie is a talented singer. She has one of the most beautiful voices that I have ever heard. Touch was the first album i purchased by Amerie. And it was one of the best albums I have ever bought in my life. There are so many club hits on this album. Each track has the potential to be a hit in some genre. Her voice soars to beautiful heights on this album. The only song i do not like is her duet with R&B songster Carl Thomas, entitled Can We Go. But this song does not take away from the album's sheer amazingness. This album shows a more mature Amerie from her debut effort. One of my favorite songs ever is on this album. The song Just Like Me is my favorite track on the album and I think is one of Amerie's best recordings. Overall, this album is a club banging hit that should be more recognized more than it currently is. This propelled Amerie into the A-List in the musical world. Everyone should listen to this album sometime in their life. A true classic in it's own respect.
AMERIE IS BACK.......2007-06-07
The sophomore jinx is something that never crossed Amerie mind with this album. I love Touch just as much as I love All I Have. 1 Thing was just a start and a great 1st single for a great album. This album is hot and well rounded because it's up beat but laid back as well. I put this album on repeat constantly because it just that good. This album is top five and I think you will love it also. Do yourself a favor and go get this album, you won't regret it.
MY TOP FIVE
1. Just Like Me
2. Talkin' About
3. Falling
4. All I Need
5. Not the Only One
Pretty Good.......2007-03-09
I thought this CD is pretty good. I don't listen to about 2 songs. So that pretty good.
4 1/2 Stars... Not Enough Variety.......2007-03-09
Amerie is a great artist, beautiful woman, and has something to offer the industry, BUT something is lacking here. The album is pretty solid even though her debut was a bit better. She did have a lot more writing credits and different producers instead of solely Rich Harrison on her first album, but once he started giving beats to other artists (Beyonce mainly) her niche sound was pretty much gone. So when she comes back out again this year, she needs a whole new sound and some different producers without relying too much on Rich Harrison.
Standout songs: " 1 Thing", "Touch", "Come With Me", and "Falling"
Great Album!.......2007-03-05
Okay first BOO!!! to the record company for tainting my disc with stupid soft-ware to prevent people from copying it on the computer. If you can get this album without the soft-ware (which made it on most "what were they thinking?" soft-ware lists) then please do.
This album is fun, sexy, energetic, and classy. "1 Thing" is the best go-go R&B track released since Beyonce's "Crazy in Love". Amerie's voice fit the song becoming an instrument to complement Rich Harrison's rich production. My favorite songs are "Can We Go" and "Tears Rolling Down My Face". What makes these songs work is that Amerie knows her limitations and doesn't try to go where she has no business going. The production complements her voice, so you don't get a sense of Amerie singing songs that really are out of her range. I'm not saying she can't sing. She has a real lovely voice (Listen to "Tears Rolling..." and past tracks like "Talkin' to Me" to hear for yourself) but she does what really works for her like "1 Thing". I gave the album 5 stars because it's consistent and really sounds better through repeated listens. The production is also more varied and jazzy than her debut album (which is really good too).
Best Tracks:
"Can We Go" (That Earth, Wind, and Fire sample!)
"Tears Rolling Down My Face" (The horns!)
"1 Thing" that got me trippin' (Love the chorus!)
"Like it Used to Be" (Listen to the instrumentation during the chorus)

"Classic Ross".......2007-01-14
Loved this album as a teen in the early 70's. I was thrilled to have a chance to revisit on cd. It is classic Ross.
Diana's Ballad Tour De Force.......2006-11-18
Diana Ross won acclaim for her role as Billie Holiday in Lady Sings The Blues, but she and Motown knew a
return to her signature sound should be fast in coming, so shortly after the Lady.... soundtrack was winding down on the charts, Touch Me In The Morning was released.
The tile track is the epitome of a Diana Ross ballad, and it landed her another Pop/R & B crossover hit.
With the commitment of her mentor, Berry Gordy, Diana gained more confidence as a vocalist, and this release contains some of her finest work from a cover of the Carpenter's, I Won't Last A Day Without You, to a moving take on the John Lennon masterpiece Imagine.
Her Jazz/Blues stylings from LSTB were not lost either, and the medley of Brown Baby and Save The Children
lent her more vocal credability.
Diana displayed a powerful level of emotion on this album and All Of My Life is another prime example.
Why a rating of 4 stars, as opposed to 5?. Simply put, that although the dramatic ballad is Diana's forte,
a uptempo track, or two, delivered with the same passion as the rest of this release would have taken it to the next level.

The Soul Diva Returns After Lady Sings The Blues With An International Top 10 Album.......2006-08-31
Where the Lady Sings The Blues Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1972) totally shrugged off any Supremes-type number, showcasing Diana Ross's versatile talents, the Touch Me In The Morning (1973) project steered even further away, completely abandoning her previous commercial R&B/Soul/Pop sound. The mood is mellow and soulful throughout, emerging as one of her all-time great albums of the 1970's.
The magnificent title track, Touch Me In The Morning is an absolute cracking masterpiece and is one of Diana's most memroable and timeless classics. A young composer, Michael Masser was drafted in by Motown. His first assignment was to come up with a no.1 hit for Motown's leading lady - Diana Ross. Michael Masser immediately came up with Touch Me In The Morning with Diana Ross in mind. Touch Me In The Morning would also be aided by the compositional and lyrical finesse of Ron Miller. Basically Berry Gordy wanted a No.1 hit waiting in the wings for his leading star just in the event of a needed re-bound if the Lady Sings The Blues movie bombed. Of course we all know Lady Sings The Blues was indeed an enduring success and earned her a much deserved oscar nomination for her powerful and riviting portrayal as the tortured Jazz singer Billie Holiday. Hot on its trail came Touch Me in The Morning. After an extremely sluggish start where it literally hovered for weeks on end down the lower reaches of the Hot 100 it slowly but surely climbed up the charts and eventually zoomed into pole position, remaining there for weeks on end. The formula is vastly similar to Ain't No Mountain High Enough where the rhythm steadily builds to its exalting chrous which Diana tackles with utter style and finesse sounding gutsy and soulful. One of Diana Ross's best classics!
Incidentally Michael Masser described the recording sessions for the Touch Me In The Morning single an emotionally draining experience. He claimed that Diana was very emotional during the sessions, crying a lot when she couldn't hit the notes required for the song and Diana even believed the song was beyond her vocal abilities. After countless takes, Diana finally got that desired vocal performance mastered to perfection.
Another timeless ballad was the remarkably powerful, All Of My Life where Dianas exubearant delivery ignites this breathtakingly beautiful ballad to startling effect. All Of My Life was lifted as a single in the U.K and became a Top 10 hit.
The mood turns somewhat chilly on the atmospheric, We Need You where Diana delivers a fantastic and stirring vocal performance. We Need you was written by Deke Richards whose most famous work for Diana Ross was the U.K chart-topping, I'm Still Waiting in 1971.
Also of great musical merit was the pleasant, mid-tempo Leave A Little Room where Diana glides through the verses and is joined by a gospel choir on the chrous which merley adds to its dramatic effect.
Diana surprisingly makes her version of The Carpenters, I Won't Last A Day Without You her own but it's the latter half of the album that displays a lot of true artistic flair. Perharps holding onto Lady Sings The Blues in some way, Diana delivers two Jazz/Blues numbers that are both stunningly atmospheric. Her performance on Little Girl Blue is dreamy and rich whilst the mood deepens and steadily more sombre on the haunting, My Baby (My Own). Her striking, lower throat register performance virtually turns into a subdued howl at the climax of this track.
Diana then delivers a magnificent and sophisticated reading of the John Lennon classic Imagine which she sings with such passion in her voice.
The Touch Me In The Morning (1973)album's climax is a startling and compelling medley (a)Brown Baby (b)Save The Children. More than anything, this medley showcased her versatile vocal style and her overall diversity as a recording artist. The Medley is both touching and hauntingly atmospheric rounding the project off beautifully.
The Touch Me In The Morning (1973) set was a fantastic affair all round and was one of her most artistic and diverse efforts off the 1970's. The bonus was it proved to be another yet massive commercial success where it speedily jumped into the U.K and U.S Top 10 Album charts becoming one of her biggest sellers in that era.

From a Supremes vocalist to a Supreme vocalist ! .......2005-10-03
The first time I heard "Touch Me in The Morning", it was evident from the opening bars of the song until the last note that her performance, was stunning and destined to be her second solo #1 single.(And the first of her recordings with Michael Masser, who co-wrote among other songs they recorded together,"Theme from Mahogany" and "It's My Turn.")The rest of the album lives up to that standard. Compare her interpretation of "Little Girl Blue," to the version recorded on "The Supremes Sing Rodgers-The Complete Sessions," to experience her growth as a vocalist.
Diana's Early 70s Masterpiece.......2005-04-12
Every artist has a defining moment in their career. For Diana Ross, there have been several moments of brilliance and 1973's "Touch Me in the Morning" was one of them.
Historically, the timing for the release of the album was of significant importance. Diana had stunned the world with her Oscar nominated and Golden Globe Award winning performance in "Lady Sings the Blues". It was time to return to the studios and the result was a collection of beautiful, timeless classics that have stood the test of time.
The album opens with that ever popular Ross ballad, "Touch Me in the Morning" which has to rank as one of the finest pop/R&B singles of the modern pop era. Diana demonstrated previously undiscovered nuances in her delivery, and displayed a talent for ballads that was fresh and exciting. Furthermore, Diana's voice was incredibly smooth, supple and dreamy. It all makes for pleasant listening.
There are no dance cuts here, just classy ballads. My personal favourites are "Leave A Little Room", "Little Girl Blue", and "My Baby, My Own". The "Brown Baby/Save the Children" medley is awesome. "Save the Children" is quite an intense experience, with Diana singing with passion and conviction. Both tracks were produced by Ms Ross.
This classy album should be part of the collection of any Ross fan. This was Diana at her best.

Album Description
"SOME ALBUMS WARN LISTENERS "do not operate heavy machinery while listening to this music." I'd take the "warning" beyond that. Do not sit upright nor stand because this music will dissolve you. "Indescribable" only starts to describe it .... It folds over itself, exudes, and disappears. But none of that put together adds up to the sublime mystery of what makes me go wherever it is that is beyond language, beyond memory, beyond explanation. Perhaps she's found the way to make time reverse. She has given us a remarkable gift: the carpet of sound to the "all-or-nothing." -Carol Wright, music writer for New Age Voice, BN.com
"THE OPENING MINUTES OF THIS ALBUM HERALD A QUALITY THE LIKES OF WHICH YOU WILL RARELY HEAR ON A SYNTH ALBUM. The first piece stops you in your tracks with its sheer, almost overwhelming beauty
for this is the sound of heaven - like never before. It really is almost overwhelming, one of the most beautiful musical experiences I think I've ever heard in this genre... There is a lot of music out there to be lived, but few that truly touch the soul - this is one of the few." - CD Services
"ALTERNATE AWARENESS - This deep space music is intended for meditation and introspection. The soundscapes just reach out and grab listeners. It becomes an alternate awareness that allows listeners to enter a trance-like state of being. Within that state, deep listeners see more clearly. The journey leads to increased spiritual and emotional well-being. Essential for new age and space music fans." ~ All Music Guide
"EXPANSIVE, tender, and passionately spiritual, Demby's music is designed for stress relief, contemplation, and serenity. Given Demby's multidimensional talents, it's no wonder her music is listened to all around the world." - New Age Retailer

Healing Wonders.......2007-07-30
Have all of Constance Demby CD releases.. She never fails to amazed me. Flowing, gentle, close to the heart comes to mind when hearing her music. Just put me in a relaxing mood.
Someone should have caught this..........2007-01-30
Anyone who knew Latin or bothered to check would know that the second word of the title has to be "sanctorum," NOT "sanctuorum"!!
Constance Demby is back........2004-06-26
It is wonderful to have Ms. Demby move away from the atonal and morbid sounds of Attunement and Spirit Trance to the uplifting sounds she gave us in Novus Magnificat and Set Free. This is definitely one of her best works.
Constance Demby: Sanctum Sanctuorum.......2003-03-13
Constance Demby continues her trademark melodious symphonic space-music in this calming album. This time, she has infused chants and solo choir to give it a definite Christian flavour.
It becomes a struggle to stay stressed out while listening to this inspiring album and I've tried.
A Musical Stairway To The Stars!.......2002-04-29
With this recording, Constance Demby, the undisputed founder of sacred symphonic space music, has created a musical stairway to the stars. In a word, 'Sanctum Sanctuorum' is remarkable. Not only musically sophisticated and gorgeously produced, the piece as a whole is a deepening of Demby's important work to new heights. At least initially, we could not help but to be reminded of the well-known Requiems by Faure and Durufle. But 'Sanctum' sets the standard for sacred symphonic space music for the new millennium reaching realms not possible prior to this work. Finally, electronic music technology has caught up with Demby's compositional genius to produce a benchmark that transcends the genre.

Customer Reviews:
Really first rate effort by strong singer and harp-player.......2007-03-26
John Németh
One of the real pleasures I have is hearing a new voice that just blows me away being rooted deep in the blues tradition, yet singing and playing with an authority that would have been at home on a blues recording 40 years ago. Born in Idaho, John Németh has been growing a body of followers including guitarist Junior Watson and Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin and after a couple of CDs has signed with Blind Pig and has a new CD, "Magic Touch," that is a stunning release. He is simply a wonderful singer that to this listener suggests Junior Parker mixed with Bobby Radcliffe and an equally superb harp player. This CD is produced by Anson Funderburgh (who plays on 1 track) with Németh backed by a terrific band that includes great Junior Watson on guitar and Kaz Kazanoff and the Texas Horns. Németh blasts off with a strong reworking of Junior Wells' "Blues Hit Big Town" (great harp along with the vocal) before followed by the funky originals Blue Broadway and the title track, both sporting strong crying vocals and terrific playing from Watson (who gets into a rock and roll vein on the title track). Willie Dixon's "Sit and Cry the Blues", was one of Buddy Guy's earliest recordings and the version here with Watson's evocation of Ike Turner's trebly playing on Guy's original as Németh's convincingly the lyrics in his natural soulful style. "She Did Not Show" sports some harp in a Rice Miller vein on a blues set to the "Sittin' on Top of the World/ Some Cold Rainy Day" melody, while Up to "No Good" evokes Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home," with more exquisite harp playing. "Come On," a polka-blues (yes you read that correctly) closes this album on a fresh, delightful note. Blind Pig in their publicity for this suggests that "Magic Touch" "is destined to be one of the most remarked upon releases of 2007." Well it is January as I write this, but they are likely right, as this is simply terrific.
If I could I would give this an additional half/star but the fact this does not get five stars does not reflect any shortcoming on this disc, but rather my being conservative in my rating.

Album Description
The "voice" of the Emmy-nominated "Mists of Avalon" TNT/WB score, Aeone (pronounced Ay-Own) delivers a powerful body of work in this 13-song CD. With the unique vocal sound that has become her trademark, along with lush, cinematic arrangements and production, this beautifully-crafted album takes one on a journey from mystical etherea to the dark and ancient longings of the soul.
The album begins with the thundering "One Tribe", a call to prayer for all nations, which blends an East-West feel with Celtic sensibility in contemporary groove. It then flows effortlessly into the reflective and poignant title track, "POINT OF FAITH". As song follows song, the listener is carried away on an emotional tide of music, moving from the lavish, layered vocals of "Umbra Nihili" to the absolute purity of Aeone's voice in "The Last Breath".Aeone creates her rich thematic tracks by blending ethnic instruments and pads with strings and heavy grooves, alongside live players such as Irish and Blue Grass fiddles - allowing her voice to rise above it all.Silverman also co-wrote/co-produced with Aeone the mesmerizing "She Walks with Me".
The CD includes "I Will Remember You Still", the haunting song produced and performed by Aeone, from the "Mists of Avalon" soundtrack CD, inspired by both the legends of Avalon and Lee Holdridge's Emmy-nominated score for the recent mini-series of that name.
As this artist now presents her new album, "POINT OF FAITH", those who already know and love her work will doubtless agree that this is her most beautiful music to date.
This cd is complemented by a 20-page full color booklet, an otherworldly visual experience of pictures and lyrics. "POINT OF FAITH" is also an enhanced CD that comes with bonus pictures, high quality MP3's

Point of Faith.......2007-02-24
I really loved this cd. I am always a little afraid of buying a cd I can not hear sample music. I have had a few that were terrible. HOWEVER, this one was great I felt like my imagination was flying off to some place. Some songs I wanted to get up and dance, others I wanted just to relax to. This is by no means a roller coaster ride cd. This does not song like Lorenna. Not sure who thought they sounded a like.
WAY TO THE HEART.......2007-01-05
The Song "Point Of Faith" Is worth the price alone for me. She sings about forgiving.... She sings " Let me walk in Fields of my own goodness..Let me lie no more with my regret, I believe in all the choices I have made, From a point of love within my heart I forgive myself for all the mistakes" , " From a point of grace within my soul, I release myself for all the blame" Each Song Is written fully so you can enjoy the meaning anytime you want. This Woman has a Spiritual way about her that makes you feel good about yourself.
Haunting Vocal Work - May Have Limited Appeal to Celtic Music Fans.......2006-11-25
I wouldn't term Aeone's vocal work as complex. Perhaps I would typify it as more arcane or limited to the narrow genre (Celtic) within which she has presented herself as being a part of. Even then, I wouldn't say she has the range and complexity of a more worldly performer such as Loreena McKennit but she definitely brings the vocal tinges of Kate Bush back into the present. Even for fans of Kate Bush, who is and was a phenomenal performance artist as well as vocalist, I wouldn't typify Aeone as a brilliant or an enrapturing artist who sweeps listeners up into her musical impressionism. But more of the lilting high-ranging soprano with an easy falsetto that strikes one as very ancient yet very modern in her vocal capability. I must admit I wasn't overwhelmed as I've been with some of the modern performers like Loreena McKennit, Enya, Aoife Ni Fhearraigh, or the Celtic Women, but she's not displeasing either. For real afficianado's I'd recommend more traditional Gaelic music such as Celtic Spirit or the new (2006) release of Pure Nightnoise. Lot's of older music but a good sampling of the genre.
I love this CD........2005-10-07
I love this CD and listen to it at least once a day.
Aeone just keeps getting better!.......2005-02-25
I accidentally discovered Aeone on MP3.comback in 1999. Ever since then, her music has haunted me, spoken to me, reached into me and brought out the Celtic heritage I never knew I had. Her music is powerful, sensitive, stirring... her music is truly a work of art. I'm ecstatic that Umbra Nihili is finally on a CD... that song sends a shiver down my spine every time i hear it... for any artist to be able to harness that kind of power in a song is a miracle just waiting to be heard. The rest of the album follows suit, bringing forth an almost supernatural presence withits beauty. I can't stress enough how much I love Aeone... one listen,and I'm sure you'll agree.

Underrated, surprisingly good album from a time when good soul was starting to go down the drain.......2007-01-17
Beautiful yet spare, this trio has never received the commercial success that it rightly deserves. If this album had been released a few years later, it would probably be a favorite of neo-soul fans, but most people experimenting with new music in 1996 were too obsessed with crudeness and subversity to really care.
Jazzy N' Soulful trio really put their hearts into this........2000-02-03
If you like classic R&B that is lacked by most artist, with the exception of D'Angelo, Lauryn Hill, and Maxwell, then you'll love this CD. One of the few projects that could be listen to from beginning to end. This group from the Bay Area has managed to capture the secret of complete artistry by placing songs on their album which relates to just about everyone who appreciates music. whether you are a fan of Curtis Mayfield, Jodeci, Take 6, or "TonyToniTone", there's a song for you. The only unfortionate thing for this group is how their album was marketed. Hopefully the label will realize this group's full potential to set standards in this industry, and put forth some effort(MONEY)to make their sophmore album just as good, if not better than their first. I recommend this album to all my people. Enjoy

Customer Reviews:
thrown to the wolves, a gud cd? i think yes!.......2004-06-15
What first attracted me to this cd was the fact that the band played for Buffy the vampire slayers "Dingoes ate my baby"
The UK version also has 2 bonus tracks called "Liar" and "Fate" both are gr8 songs.
My fave tracks are "Dilate" "Pain" and "She knows" these are gorgeous songs!
I had fun lookiing through the pictures on the inside cover, i noticed that they had a piccy of the "Forbidden Planet" and i was all like yay i shop there!!!
The front cover is way cool and v diff wich i love.
All in all this cd is a plus and a half, i love it!!!
Peace xXx
A Great CD to Buy.......2003-05-12
I had discover Four Star Mary in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as Oz band Dingoes Ate My Baby, the song who "tell me" to listen more of this band was Never Mind on the episode Dead Man Party. I bought the cd Thrown to the Wolves, and EVERY song is great. But my favorites are Never Mind of course and Violent. It's a must have for every alternative rock fan
Hasn't left my CD player in 3 days!.......2002-11-14
What a great album! Every track is a work of genius, and the songs are superb! Best known to fans of the hit show Buffy the Vampire Slayer as "Dingoes Ate My Babies", the headline band for most of the first three seasons, Four Star Mary are an accomplished band in their own right.
Over half the songs on the album appeared in the show, and for good reason.
Best track? It's incredibly hard to choose, but probably "Thrown to the Wolves", with half a dozen others close behind.
If you're a Buffy fan, or an alternative rock fan, buy this album!
My Favorite CD.......2002-06-14
Everyone HAS to get this cd. all the songs rock, and they were also on buffy, the vampire slayer (as seth green's band 'dingoes ate my baby'). Four Star Mary is an extremely talented band. if only all the 'popular' music was this good!
Rockin' 4*Mary.......2001-07-12
This is one of the best albums I have ever listened to. You can listen to it a million times and not get bored of it! My favorite track on the album is Pain, which is the 4*Mary song on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer album. I also love Thrown to the Wolves, the title track, all the songs are brilliant! If you like alternative rock, Bon Jovi, Queen or bands like Wheatus, then you'll love 4*Mary!
