I believe you can make me well-

Ted Neely, Carl Anderson and Yvonne Elliman: Jesus Christ, Judas & Mary Magdalene-

I'm not a religious person, but the 1973 musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" is one of my favourite movies of all time. I've been reading a book about the slums in Calcutta, India that has a high focus on the leper colonies and the thousands of affected people who live there. This brought back memories of a scene from this movie... I used to sing along to this film so enthusiastically that I thought my vocal chords might explode or I'd give myself some kind of hernia.

To date, I haven't come across another movie, musical, with the same level of fantastically beautiful vocals as there are in this one. Gives me goosebumps everytime...

Happy Thursday, hope you enjoy- Namaste.
