Frank Sinatra THE HOUSE I LIVE IN

 

[CL82]

”Think of all the hate there is in Red China

Not much has changed in all these years. Just substitute Buffalo, Charlottesville, etc. for Selma, Alabama.

Great choice! I was debating between posting this and posting Turn Turn Turn.

(Fun fact: Barry McGuire wanted to record California Dreaming and use the Mamas and the Papas as his back up group. The music producer said bring them in and let me listen to them, and then decided to use them without Barry Maguire.)

[Hoops66]

A somewhat mystery to me, but truly haunting...What do you think?

The idea for this beautiful song came to Emmylou Harris when thinking about how a pearl comes from an oyster's pain. It's full of ambiguous and beautiful twists of phrase.

 

[EasyEd]

This should qualify...for Clyde....
