I just realised when i was putting my profile for one of these blog sites, the preferred music is : soul music, sufi and indian classical.
Come to think of it, music has that rare ability to reach out from the heart, a complete outpouring which when combined with a higher purpose seems to simply lift me up. Today's music simply doesn't move me unless it is a kailash kher or a shoba mudgal singing out loud to the Noble. Listening to Jim Reeves sing "silent Night" or MS Subbulakshmi in "Korai Onrum Illai" or Balamurli in Jayadeva lyrics or Pithukuli Murugudas for Krishna - they all have the ability to move you.
These musicians became famous because they got bhakti and soul into their music. "Soft footsteps sounded behind me" was so much ahead of time and it all started in the lawn in Jaipur with Viji and Mani running down with the topics and doing his (in)famous jig in the lobby of Jaipur University. But the essence reached Sampson David.
