I Sing Because I'm Happy

I did something Saturday that I haven't done in a long time. . . NOOOOOOOO, not that. I went to a bar. At this bar, I did something I haven't done in an even longer time, I did karaoke.

Andi and I happened to catch a couple of movies that day. With no evening plans, she suggested going to a bar she knew of that did karaoke. At first I was going to say no. You see, in the past, when I've gone to karaoke with friends, it's been at bars that didn't necessarily cater to the music that I know most, having grown up a black kid (imagine that) listening to mostly soul and R&B music. She pointed out that this bar had a huge catalogue. So, I figured, why not? Folks, we knocked'em dead.

Since we were the only ones singing duets, and since we are both singers, they loved us. Especially, when we hit the harmonies. The host even chose us to be featured in their "Spotlight", where they choose the three best acts of the night to sing two songs in a row, followed by a question and answer session.

Dwellers, it was the most fun I'd had in a long time. Without going into detail, let me just say, it's been a rough year for me. I really needed that evening. White Mocha, your HBCM thanks you.

Now, I need you all's help. The one problem I had that night was that it took me forever to find something to sing, mostly because the catalogue was so big, I couldn't narrow my search. So, I need some suggestion on what I should sing next time. You all know my range. Also, give me some good duets to consider.
