Want to include a song featuring a guy from my old neighborhood in Brooklyn. David Blatt is better known as Jay Black. He replaced the original Jay and sang lead on most of their big hits.

My personal favorite Gary US Bonds song:

A modern one, which is becoming a very popular cover and duet. But the original I think is Calum Scott, You Are The Reason:

One of the most poignant songs I've ever heard about "old friends" and people getting older - California folk singer Mary McCaslin:

The numbers are 2 much for me to go back and look! Always torn between "official release" and live, young or older, etc. But this one is sorta in the middle: The Beach Boys in studio

Perhaps best know for a song on the first album Tom Dooley or MTA, this group of my youth had great harmonies and could do folk soul with the best:

I really love the Beach Boys version of this - Sloop John B, but I've used up my BB ticket, so an alternate will have to do: The Fendertones. It's not cheating, just because they have a ringer or two:

Pretty darn good:

So this won't be a total waste of time I'm making up the play list for my wake ... it'll be a long wake.

 

[Bigboote]

I still miss Robert Palmer. He could and did sing anything — New Orleans, reggae, blues, pop. . .

Here’s one of my favorites of his:

 

[Beemer]

A great song from 1974.
70.s music was a great era.. Much better than today's crap..

Quoted for truth. Yeah I know I sound like a cranky old woman. Sue me.

Nice documentary on Netflix about this song.

John and Paul wrote many great songs, but my favorite Beatles song is “Something” by George.

“Dream Weaver” may have been Gary Wright’s biggest hit, but I like “Love Is Alive” better.

I read a while back "Something" is the 2nd most covered Beatles song after "Yesterday".
