Re: Jimmy Page to perform at closing ceremony of Beijing Olympics

[stevethomson@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Actually, yes, the first thing I thought when I heard about the Jimmy/Leona 
pairing was why not Duffy. I picked up her album on vinyl a couple of weeks ago 
and she's the real deal. Winehouse is the media sideshow/trainwreck type who 
happens to have a retro sound but Duffy sounds like she transportted from 1965. 
Incredible voice, a good looker much more UK sounding than Leona. The song 
"Rockferry" sounds like Dusty Springfield covering Ferry Cross the Mercy.

I actually kinda wish now that Jimmy would do one of those Santana style albums 
with guest stars if he could pull in the likes of Duffy, Lewis, etc. Just 
please, no Chad Kroeger!!
