Songs you like!

I used to listen to them all the time. Don't really anymore, The music makes me depressed.

Early TBT: Let's travel to Australia for a bit.

How about a little rock mixed in w/some opera?

I never will.

Never, Ever.

Someone gave me a bunch of John Denver's music lately, and it was like being taken back to my childhood. My Mom and my Aunt Dawn were both VERY big fans of his music. I've always loved this one. (Among others.)

Great song, Lisa!

Words of Truth............................

Lots of good songs.

Thanks for that John Denver song, Dave!  I've never heard that one before.  It's good!

I heard this song by ELO the other day, and noticed there were some parts very similar to Huey Lewis's "Do You Believe in Love."  I've looked at the history of both songs and no where does it say that Huey sampled some lines from ELO's song...but it sounds like he did!  Both great songs either way...but what do you think?  Did Huey sample ELO? (Listen to ELO's "Sweet Talkin' Woman" first).


 

Boy, it sure sounds like it!  

As a Beatles junkie, I'm surprised that I only heard about the following a couple years ago.  The Beatles were sued by Chuck Berry over the resemblance of their "Come Together" to his "You Can't Catch Me."  Apparently no one really noticed until Lennon mentioned in an interview that he'd "borrowed" the line "here come old flat-top" from Chuck's song.  Then people began noticing that the tune was ripped off, too.

Oh dear!!!

Remember this famous lawsuit? The estate of the man who wrote "He's so Fine" (he had already passed on) sued George Harrison for "My Sweet Lord." The songs DO sound alike! Personally though, I think George's song is MUCH, much better...but that's just my opinion.

Remember it well!  I like George's better, too.

Jules, I'm sure you've heard this song...



Imagine my surprise when I was browsing through a book of poetry, and found this poem called "Cradle Song," written in 1603:

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, 
Smiles awake you when you rise ; 
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, 
And I will sing a lullaby, 
Rock them, rock them, lullaby. 
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you, 
You are care, and care must keep you ; 
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, 
And I will sing a lullaby, 
Rock them, rock them, lullaby. 


I thought I'd made a HUGE discovery... until I found out that it was a matter of public record that Paul had based his song on this poem.  

Ah yes, Golden Slumbers! One of my favorites! Then again, too many Beatles' songs are my favorites! Thanks for posting, Rob!

How's this for the 70's Julie?

I was in high school and I think this was number one for a month!

One of my favorites from one great performer! Meryl can do it all!



What CAN'T she do?

Paul Young did a great rendition of this great song!

Wow!

Awesome songs, Dave! I never heard any of those 2 by Meryl...and I love "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted." I always thought that was a good question!

I especially love that combination of my two all time favorite shows: Little House & Partridge Family! I forgot which PF episode that song is from. Long live the 70's!!

Southern rock!  "Keep Your Hands to Yourself."  Georgia Satellites, 1986.
