Billy Ocean - When the Going Gets Tough
A song that conveys the spirit of our country, I once believed in as a child. I love this song, it is uplifting and helps to get you going!
When I played this , this morning, all of a sudden memories flooded me, I remembered my uncles being drafted at the onset of the Second World War, and I cried, just as Meggie did in my book, Secrets of the Heart, when the war came. One thing we had then, we were united in spirit, we knew we were fighting for something worthwhile. Our hearts were in our throats, as our men went to war, but, what a country we lived in then, everyone pitched in, personal, and group sacrifice. War clouds hung over us, but when the going got tough, the tough got going.!

Night Train By Buddy Morrow
Night Train by Buddy Morrow is the one that sticks with me but, the Battle of the Bands, says that Louis Prima, gives him a good run, I like Buddy the best on this one.
All Night Long-Louis Prima And Keely Smith(1956).avi
Keely you got it! Love this song, rhythm, vocals, it has it all. The Rat Pack, knew good music, when they picked this team of Keely and Louis to entertain them nightly in Vegas...
"I Wish You Love" Keely Smith
Battle of the Singers....Keely Smith does a wonderful job on this song, and so does Chris Connor.....their voices are so different, and the rhythm is distinct, so to me, each is beautiful in its own way.... so enjoy Keely, her gorgeous voice, is a memory of the times, when she and Louis Prima, entertained the Rat Pack in Vegas....
Guy Mitchell - Singing The Blues (Live!)
"Singing the Blues," it takes you back ...It was my pick up song on dark days, I loved the rhythm, and danced around the house to get out of the "blahs"
