Every once and a while it’s time to try something new and different. The theme for this week is “Outside My Box”. It’s time to showcase things that are not normally associated with me ... things people wouldn’t believe that I’d listen to…
My choice is Michael Franks. He's a jazz musician that I discovered during my college days. I couldn't find any video of him. However, here are two of my favorite Michael Franks' songs. Both are on my iPod right now. I hope you enjoy his flow.
Asante sana to Mrs Grapevine and Ms Marvalus for creating Old School Friday. I encourage all villagers with a blog to participate in this weekly meme!

Michael Franks is classic!
Au Naturale - Methinks that you and I are from the same era! However, I suspect that a number of our young 'uns don't have a clue about Michael Franks...
aaahhh, very smooth! great picks!
Michael Franks is a smooth sound. He may be out of the box for some folks but I know his music well..
Onelove..iriegal
Ah yes...Franks is sho' nuff a classic! DO NOT TOUCH THAT PHONE! LOL
SMOOOOOTH Move!!!
CCG can digg it!!!
OK he has a smooth groove going. You learn something new everyday. Thanks Villager.
Now this is something new for me, and I like it a lot. Most of the things people picked were actually inside my box, even the songs I picked were right there on the age. I should have chosen House Music...
I have never heard of him, so I have learned something musically today from you! And I thank you!
Happy OSF!
Yup--I have some Michael Franks in my iTunes library. I listen to him whenever I want to feel like I am relaxing on a beach somewhere. Nice pick!
A lot of great clips on YouTube also. Two of my faves are Chez Nous and Island Life. If you're going to make a purchase though you can't go wrong with Blue Pacific. Especially this time of year. Anyone seen him live recently?
