'Gum Drop Giveaway #30

We all know what Nanos look like, thanks largely to Feist. This one will be 4GB. What you might not know about Michael McDonald's diverse new covers album Soul Speak. It's the follow-up to his all-Motown covers collections Motown (2003) and Motown Two (2004). This time, though, he's all over the map, adding his own spin to "Love TKO" by Teddy Pendergrass, Dionne Warwick's "Walk on By," Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic," Stevie Wonder's "Living For The City," Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," and Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," among others. There's also his new original, "Getting Over You." And, here's how the 56-year-old singer's lookin' ... as well as a Nano dressed up like the 56-year-old singer.

Pretty suave, Mr. "Yah Mo B There." One winner gets the iPod and the CD. Find out more about MM at his site.
