The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

5. Art Tatum
6. Andrea Bocelli

8. Turlough O'Carolan

I could also have Blind Willie Johnson and Blind WIllie McTell but not Blind Willie McDuff who could see perfectly well. More here. Have I missed anyone?

Might add Denise Leigh who won the Channel 4 opera reality show and is now established as a professional opera singer - amazing voice and talent to remember long operas by heart. Gives me goosebumps.

You should also add Blind Blake - one of the most popular pre-war blues/ragtime guitarists.
