Body Parts in Song: from ankles to eyes
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The body parts most frequently sung about in music are the eyes, according to a new analysis of over 10,000 songs. Today: we look at how different musical genres emphasize specific parts of the body. Then, we turn our attention to the pianist Leon Fleisher, who has arguably the most famous right hand in the music business, due to a debilitating hand condition he suffered in the 1960s. He's regained the use of that hand , and joins us in advance of his two-hand recital at Carnegie Hall this week.
Finally: R&B singer Raphael Saadiq, whose music has one foot in '60s Motown, joins us to talk about his new album "The Way I See It."
