A few weeks ago, D' Frendz were having an on-line discussion about old songs that we listen to these days. Bonique, Rona and I were talking about the singers from the 70s and 80s that are on our repeat list, and the subject quickly shifted to OPM artists.
We all agree that OPM in the 70s and 80s were the best times for Filipino music. It was the perfect musical storm - great melodies, meaningful lyrics, gimmick-free singing, and top-notch singers! And they had longevity, with some of these artists still very much present today.
My list of OPM greats is long. And one of the names on that list is Vernie Varga.
Yes, the sultry, seductive and powerful voice that can easily shift from a ballad to a dance track, from English to Filipino. Singers like her are a rarity nowadays, that's why the more time files, the more I appreciate her.
One of my favourite Vernie Varga songs is an English ballad from the 90s. It's a song entitled "Being With You" and it's a song that i'll never tire listening to.
That's why on today's Friday Magic Madness, it's time to bring out the big OPM guns and start off with the incomparable Ms. Varga!
Being with this song is a great way to spend Friday!
