This is the film that re-ignited Kishore Kumar's stalled career in 1969 and helped establish Rajesh Khanna as one of the 1970s' major film stars. In a tale that ladled tragedy upon tragedy, songs like the joyful "Roop Tera Mastana," "Mere Sapnon Ki Rani," and "Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh" linked Kumar's voice with Khanna's face ever after.

Three labels helped chronicle the continental confluence that was Hugh Masekela in the 1960s and '70s: Chisa, Uni and Blue Thumb. Latin soul, jazz, funk and samba meet the township on a collection that features the über-fab "Ha Le Se Le Li Khanna" and everybody's favorite Sunday lemonade-sipper, "Grazing in the Grass."

Jack performs sunny songs for kids with a smile on his face. Both his original songs and covers of classics such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" are likely to have your young ones mesmerized and singing along.

Warm, swinging trio music led by the bluesy twinkle of Wyands' piano playing. He's a veteran session man (with Ella Fitzgerald, Kenny Burrell, and Gene Ammons among others) who sticks mainly to traditional Bop and ballads.

Syn play acoustic-driven, vocal-led ballad-rock. Tasteful brush work on the snare and earthy, throaty verses give way to Hammond-flavored choruses and melodic guitar twinkle in these sensitive gems for the grown-ups table.

Nelson's best since Stardust isn't quite the rehash it seems to be. The often uptempo music is suffused with Western swing, the standards not all that standard. Which would be great if only Nelson's ecumenicism didn't run in the direction of "My Mother's Eyes," the aforementioned "Over the Rainbow," and a jazzed-up "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." (Grade: B+)

Raffi rules. What's more, he understands children. What kid doesn't need a pause, a nap or a cuddle at some point -- probably several times a day? Raffi enables baby chill-time with a clutch of classic and original songs, making even "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" shine with bright-eyed life. But the real winners include tracks like the charming, funky "Slow Day," the dreamy "Sunflower" and the excellent sing-along "Mary Wore Her Red Dress."

As evidenced by its name, Apples & Synthesizers is a deft mixture of organic and mechanical elements. Computers twinkle to life, emitting sparkling blips and bleeps and surprisingly warm synths, but the machines never entirely lose their hold: vocals are always dehumanized by vocoders, and programmed drum beats provide the pulse.

For those who care about such things, Ladybug One may very well be the first off-grid children's music album -- it was recorded at a solar-powered studio in Washington state. Yay! And then, oh yeah, there's the music, which isn't too shabby either. Nicely acoustic original songs about fireflies, spiders and bumblebees alone would make us more than pleased, but then the band just gets kooky with a North Indian "O Susanna" and an indie-pop rendering of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." These kid-friendly indie-pop folks are on the way to becoming big favorites.

Nashville songwriter turned country crooner Randy Houser isn't overtly retro like, for example, Marc Broussard. But the Mississippi native's gutsy balladry and muscular rockers do feel like a kind of throwback to the outlaws (Waylon and Willie) and to 1960s Southern soul. On tracks like "Back to God," "Paycheck Man" and "Something Real," the guitars totally pop and the piano keys twinkle. There are even touches of pedal steel and organ that possess a faint whiff of vintage musk.

It's difficult to imagine a bad Anthony Hamilton album. Still, The Point of It All seems like the end of a long winning streak. With its bobbing beat, tight guitar figure and guest verse from David Banner, "Cool" is charming but conventional, while "Diamond in the Rough" and the title track twinkle like the worst MOR soul. The gospel-baked blues style that distinguished the singer is still present, and there's certainly plenty of material for longtime fans to covet, but the album feels a little less cohesive and thus less satisfying than previous work.

This Los Angeles escapee fled to the comforts of San Francisco armed with his untouchable production techniques and shrewd business sense. Owner of Crisp Records and sound studio Abitare Music, Lum is a well-respected player on the Bay Area's underground house scene. As a producer, Lum draws inspiration from the Disco era, melting funky vocal and sound effects down into a molten late night, deep, beat-ridden blend. Gentle melodies twinkle as shimmering synth waves carry your subconscious to an unknown place were pain doesn't exist. Simultaneously sexy and soothing.
