No Strings Attached - Joel Thompson

On of my good friends, Joel Thompson, is a member of No Strings Attached, the all-male A Capella group here at Emory University. He is an incredible musician, as he sings, plays piano, composes, arranges, and promotes music. It's fair to say that music is his life, and I can't imagine him without it.

This past weekend No Strings Attached had their end of the semester, Spring 2010 concert, and it was phenomenal. Hilarious with great music - what more could you ask for?! Many of the songs in their repertoire for the night were arrangements by Joel, my favorite of which was Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me," sung by another member of the group (to be verified later when I can track him down!). It made my heart melt and my soul yearn for even a minute chance to have even a fraction of a hundredth of a percentage of the experience and emotion conveyed in the song. It's a wonderful song, it was a great arrangement, and it was phenomenal soloist.


So without further ado, here is his big solo, the only solo he has agreed to in his years with NSA. He is singing Stevie Wonder's "You and I."

Enjoy!
