From rock folk to rhythm and blues, we love the different music genres of Donna Jean Godchaux.

Aside from her, however, we also look up to other artists and bands, including those we’ll briefly talk about below.

Neil Diamond

Sweet Caroline, Love on the Rocks, Hello Again, and I’m a Believer are just some of the Neil Diamond songs we love.

From writing pop songs for other singers, Neil Diamond eventually launched his singing career. It was in 1965 when he released his first album, and from there, the rest is history.

One of the highlights of his career was his foray into the movies, specifically in the remake of The Jazz Singer. He also wrote and sang the movie’s soundtrack.

Cher

The charisma of Cher is undeniable. 

She is one of those people who give out a positive vibe. Cher comes across as a humble person, which makes us love her even more.

Among others, one of our favourite Cher songs is Believe. It’s also the first hit pop song to utilize auto-tune. Even decades after the song’s release, Believe remains a song that defines Cher.

Donna Jean Godchaux worked with Cher on the album 3614 Jackson Highway.

The Grateful Dead

An American rock band, The Grateful Dead was born in 1965. 

Through the years, it had several vocalists. One of our favourite vocalists was Donna Jean Godchaux, who was with the band from 1972 to 1979. She was the band’s first female vocalist.

The band has an impressive eclectic style, which gives it a distinct character. Their genre, meanwhile, is a combination of rock, jazz, folk, country, reggae, and blues, among others.
