If I could sing like anyone else, I'd like to sing like Cleo Laine (...well, except for the days I'd like to sing like Diane Schurr). There are two albums of hers from the late 70's/early 80's, that I knew but didn't own and that have been out of print for a long time. We finally found them recently. For Christmas, dear husband bought me the record of Cleo Laine, Live at Carnegie Hall (apparently it never was released on CD), and I found a used copy of Born on a Friday on Amazon. For some strange reason, the Schenectedy Library didn't want it anymore. Their loss; my gain. The song Born on a Friday is on both albums - live and studio versions. It's one of my favorite blues songs and one of my favorite Cleo Laine performances:
