Ofra Haza- Yerushalaym Shel Zahav & One Surprise
One of my favorite songs.
Ok, raise your hand if you were surprised to hear her sing this next song:
I was very sorry when she died - Jewish music lost a great singer who did a fabulous job promoting traditional as well as er, updated - yemeni music ( I was glad they picked her for the voice of Yocheved in the I forget the name, but you know the animated Moses movie). Nonetheless, I have to admit, hearning her sing many of her own and others' syrupy pop music, did nothing for me. I still keep CDs of her doing traditional and semi-traditional stuff, but I think Taylor should be allowed to do his own singing.

You're thinking of Prince Of Egypt.
i know the second song from one of her greatest hits albums
She could sing any song beautifully.
The first song is great. The wacky dancers were distracting.
"Ok, raise your hand if you were surprised to hear her sing this next song"
I must be missing a big piece of the puzzle.
Why would you be surprised to hear her sing a James Taylor song?

Are you familiar with Carole King or James Taylor?
Miriam,
Quite true.
Alice,
Wacky dancers are problematic.
Mark,
Just not her style.
eyzah yofi! could listen to ofra all day long...
Ofra Haza died?? I admit I haven't followed her closely but I know who she is and I've heard her before.
