Ghosts of Yesterday: Billie Holiday and the Two Irenes | Night Lights Classic Jazz - WFIU Public Radio
Ghosts of Yesterday: Billie Holiday and the Two Irenes Night Lights Classic Jazz - WFIU Public Radio A breeze from the past, good spot to hear some of the oldies.
BB King Stevie Ray Vaughan Etta James - Midnight Hour
Wow, can't believe I found this by these artists.....one of my favorite songs, really good dancing music!
Pavarotti & B.B. King The Thrill Is Gone
Can we dance to this? It is wonderful when some of the artists combine, like Tony Bennet and KD Lang...music for a rainy weekend. If you are in Newport Friday, watch for the antique Bentleys to pass by, they are heading to Castle Hill and more probably late morning....
Pavarotti & Barry White - My first, my last, my everything
The music in me wants to dance everyday, but, unfortunately I can't dance for hours as I once did, so I listen and imagine. Who would dream I could swing to Pavarotti?
Marvin Gaye Lets Get It On
Remember what a smash hit, this song was....and the beginning of a new dance style, it was a time!

Air travel started in about 1945, when there where people who said they would never fly.
They never did, they lived into this century....without ever getting on an airplane. From my new book, Enchanted, due out in November. "Whisper, whisper, they where afraid to fly."

Chubby Checker - Peppermint Twist
there was a place called the Peppermint Lounge, in Miami, and Chubby Checker appeared there. He was the rage! As soon as the music started young men would get up and dance on the rail around the dance floor, and everyone joined them in the twist.
Vera Lynn - When The Lights Go On Again.
We saw films like this scene in our Saturday matinee. We prayed for the lights to go on again, all over the world. Our hearts where in this song, as we prayed for our loved ones to come home alive, rolling bandages after dinner, with Mom at our kitchen table, in Framingham,Mass.
"You'll Never Know" (Vera Lynn, 1943)
Air mail letters flew across the Atlantic and Pacific to our fighting men, was it what got them through this terrible war?
White Cliffs of Dover-lyrics, sung by Vera Lynn
Songs of hope, from the wonderful British songstress, Dame Vera Lynn, her voice crossed the Atlantic and reached the heart of a little girl who was groing up in Framingham, Mass. We children grew up safe in our beds, because our men and women gave their lives and loves for our safety, hope you will read my new book, "Enchanted", about growing up in Framingham, Mass., during the war years, what life was like before and after the war...

Blue Moon - Rod Stewart
Here again is the great Rod Stewart, who has wonderful arranging and spectacular back up music. Listen to the background music of his songs....it is just terrific
Ray Conniff - Blue Moon
No where in the world is there a more open vision of how different we are, than to listen to the different versions of a song. Each conductor, arranger, has a beat inside him or her, that resonates in his/her music. Just listen
