Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
How can we not love love this song, it is up and while it delivers an up sound, it entertains, while making you want to jump up and dance!
Barry White - Can't get enough of your love baby
what a voice, what a presentation...great music...he just belongs with the sounds of the music...
Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight Train to Georgia_Neither One of Us
Oh, this is such a with it song....it is crying to be heard again....
The Skyliners - Since I Don't Have You
I try not to put this up too much, because.....I love love love it.....and hope we will hear it again today...tomorrow or soon
Ed Townsend - For Your Love
this was a hugh hit once upon a time, and fairy tales have happy endings, usually, so.....I hope someone will record this song again for another winner.
The Manhattan Transfer - Java Jive
A great song from the past brought back to enjoy another go around
Herbie Hancock - Jazz Fusion Cantelope Island
Guess this is one really appreciated performance, look at the hits...

This is a good novel, that keeps you at the edge of the chair to get to the next corner in the excitment so you can see what is going to happen next. You will not guess who the bad guy is...don't peek! Based on some of the discoveries we are finding in longevity, it educates as well as entertains. Good reading!

L.A. Confidential
I watched this again the other night and enjoyed it so much, that I had to recall it for your enjoyment. Remember Johnny Stompanato and Lana Turner, it reminded me of that...the story of the murder etc.. that occurred, although it was not in this picture, all was recalled.

How Django Reinhardt survived German occupation
Interesting history of the times, I just stumbled on.
Boots Randolph - Night Train.wmv
Another star version of Night Train...good listening and comparing.
Night Train - Sam Butera
I love this number, and Louis Prima version, but Sam Butera does a good job, and he had to overcome the Louis Prima version to come out with his own...good job!
Sam Butera & The Witnesses - Let The Good Times Roll (Mafia II soundtrack)
Sam Butera was with Louis Prima for years, there is some of his music around, this is a good one.
Jimmy Dorsey - "So Rare"
This is one of my all time favorites, the instrument, the arrangment, the melody....just melt with joy for the whole creation.
RICKY NELSON - SOMEDAY
a whole new feel, a young male voice, answering his girfriend...no competition with the female singers..
patsy cline someday you'll want me to love you
The voice....her voice would sound good without any background, it had something special....what a difference between the Kitty Kallen version and this....Patsy had timbre, depth, a rich full sound...
Kitty Kallen - Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You) (1961)
The third great song, that could be revived, Kitty Kallen's sound is different for this song, notice?
Kitty Kallen - If I Give My Heart To You
In a long ago life, this was a song that your Mom or grandmother might have loved, as she dreamed of her boyfriend. Her voice is plaintif, young and trusting, just right for the song.
DON CORNELL - HOLD MY HAND (U.K.No1 1954)
Don Cornell, great voice from the past and a song never or seldom heard on the oldies lists...isn't it wonderful?
Kay Starr - Comes A-Long A-Love
A blast from the past to start your day, a song never hear amongst the oldies
