Hi Phoenix. Love all of these artists. Wouldn’t even have thought of ethnicity - most people wouldn’t, surely. With all due respect, I’m not quite sure what you are asking?!

Nope

I would think that like many men, he likes the music of Cher, Barbra, Donna.

So do many women.

Oops, did I hit a raw nerve, I'e never heard of "fellow I live with." It was just something that seeing Cher, seemed obvious. But it has backfired on me.

That's what you get for never getting beyond the 20's, 30's & 40's music. I am a teenager of the sixties and would be hard pressed to name a single Beatles hit.

You don't seem offended, none was meant, I will be more careful in future. Sorry about that.

Spangler, for a start, who says the playlist is by the "fellow I live with"?

Secondly, I find it very odd that you choose to identify/categorise the artists by their ethnicity!

Bloody weird way of looking at music!

Is this someone's playlist? For a function?

Hello all,

If a man was given free rein on choice of music, and went for Cher, Donna Summer, Barbra Striesand etc, would it give you pause for thought?

(Sorry, I haven't phrased that very well blush)

I would be impressed:
Cher: Native American
Donna Summer: African American
Barbara Streisand: Jewish.

What a racially tolerant fellow you live with. Well done him.

Oh dear, haven’t heard of those ether.

Musical tastes obviously vary enormously.

In defence, it was "The State of Independence" rather than " I Feel Love"

What would you have preferred Phoenix?

Charleygirl5 Sat 29-Aug-20 21:36:11

Nor mine. Who is Donna Summer?

phoenix Sat 29-Aug-20 20:55:06

Thank you for the responses.

merlotgran Sat 29-Aug-20 20:50:34

Or mine.

grannysyb Sat 29-Aug-20 20:41:02

Or mine!

MawB2 Sat 29-Aug-20 20:39:55

He wouldn’t be on my list ??

phoenix Sat 29-Aug-20 20:34:19

Yes,*Oopsminty*, I'm not averse, but all of the ones mentioned in the OP, consecutively?

Oopsminty Sat 29-Aug-20 20:31:36

I'd be over the moon!

I love Donna Summer
