«Sono stata incredibilmente fortunata ad avere una madre come la mia e un fratello come Clyde. Ho avuto l'opportunità di crescere con due persone che, ogni volta che potevano, sapevano divertirsi. Penso che sia questa la mia nuova missione: apprezzare di più le mie giornate, imparare da mamma. Perché non ci sono dubbi: sono la persona più fortunata del mondo.» Se non fosse stato per Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson non sarebbe mai diventata Whoopi Goldberg. Nera, povera, madre single nella New York degli anni Cinquanta, Emma ha cresciuto i suoi figli tra indicibili difficoltà eppure, orgogliosa, pratica e indomabile, è riuscita a trasmettere loro il più importante degli insegnamenti: nella vita non bisogna rassegnarsi a sopravvivere ma impegnarsi sempre per fiorire e risplendere.

It's a tragedy of pop culture in the new millennium that starlets don't rush willy-nilly into the recording studio anywhere near as much as they used to. Goldie Hawn's sole foray into pop music – originally released in 1972 on Warner Bros. after Laugh-In but before Steven Spielberg's Sugarland Express revealed her dramatic range as an actress – isn't Golden Throats-level bad, surely to the disappointment of hipsters everywhere. Although Hawn's helium-pitched voice is a trifle thin and limited, the selection of material wisely plays to her strengths, with Dolly Parton's "My Blue Tears" and – believe it or not – Joni Mitchell's "Carey" both well-suited to her soprano vocals. In fact, the only really egregious errors aren't really her fault: the Frenchified "Butterfly," with its absurdly cheesy choral backing, wouldn't have sounded good sung by anybody, and the countrified take on Van Morrison's "I Wanna Roo You" has a botched arrangement that slaps on a vaguely oompah-style waltz-time arrangement that suits neither singer nor song. Other than that, though, Goldie is a sweetly endearing country-tinged middle of the road pop record of a style that just isn't being made anymore.

The occasionally Japanese Singles Collection releases, which have included Wham!, a-ha, Paul Young and others, continues next month with a focus on Janet Jackson. These sets combine a ‘greatest hits’ on CD and a DVD of videos on the second disc. The CDs are pressed on the Japanese SHM-CD format (compatible with all CD players) and these often boast unique masterings and sometimes offer some rarities, for example, the debut of a seven-inch edit on CD.
