Day 18: A song from the 60s (Martin Luther King Appreciation)

Couldn’t really find too much about MLK.

But found this and it mentions Marie - but not Curie.

The flipside of the original version of one is the loneliest number. Harry Nillson was a hell of a songwriting genius. this is a beautiful song.

Harry Nillson - Sister Marie (1968)

Doesn't have to be about the person. Just the name. I will even credit 'park' for Rosa Parks.

King Stitt, was one of the originators of toasting. Which gradually turned into DJing and into rap.

Day 20 - Song from the 1980s

This is a tough music challenge! Tougher than I thought it would be but I mean that in the best way.

This song is such shit that I’m embarrassed to post it. I’m sure there are other songs, but this is the best I could do. This song sums up why music from the 80s could be some of the worst music ever.
