[Rj_1954]

Witch Doctor - 1958
Song by David Saville

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

One that doesn’t get much airplay but for my money is one of the best!

All by Myself - 1996
Song by Celine Dion

My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme from "Titanic") - 1997
Song by Celine Dion and James Horner

 

[Elmo_Lincoln]

One of my favorite songs by Kansas. I saw them in 1997 and they did this song; Steve Walsh was still with them, though Kerry Livgren wasn't at the time.

Kansas - The Wall

 

[Elmo_Lincoln]

During the same show where I saw Kansas (above), Eddie Money also played (Night Ranger was a third act that was also at the concert). When Eddie did this song, his wife came out on stage and danced during the song. Afterwards, he said "She's what keeps the Money Man happy at night."

Eddie Money - Shakin'

Status Quo - In The Army Now

 

[BrendaBear]

This song isn't even remotely what this thread is about... but I created it so I don't care that I break my own rules once in a while.

I was reminded of this song today and gave it a listen again after years of not hearing it.... and I still dig it. I thought maybe some of you might also.

Odds - Heterosexual Man

I want to say I've heard this before, at least the chorus sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't swear to it (I may have heard it on Modern Retro Radio if anyplace as I listen to them on occasion).

Regardless, it has an 80's power-pop vibe to it with maybe a touch of The Smithereens.

Elmo approves

 

[Elmo_Lincoln]

Speaking of The Smithereens, I had to play something by them. I think this was their biggest hit, they should have been more popular IMHO

The Smithereens - A Girl Like You

I have this CD.

Edit: I haven't heard this song in a long time, hearing it again was great fun! Thanks for posting it!!!

(They Long to Be) Close to You - 1970 @BrendaD

(Purple Velvet) Blue Velvet - 1964
Song by Bobby Vinton

 

[BrendaBear]

Hmmmm... can't imagine why this song is in my head.

Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Another Saturday Night

 

[BrendaBear]

I suddenly needed to hear this song.

Worth it.

Talking Heads - Take Me to the River

Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Another Saturday Night

I used to look forward to Saturday nights, going out and partying with friends or just hanging out. Other times I'd just take a long drive for a couple of hours. Now I'm looking forward to going to bed at 10:3o or 11:00pm. Guess I was in too much of a rush to get older.

Anyways, here's more for Saturday Nights!

Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night

 

[Elmo_Lincoln]

One more for Saturday nights (or nites). I never hear much Earth, Wind & Fire anymore, except for maybe Boogie Wonderland. This was a top 30 hit in 1976 but seems to have been totally forgotten.

Earth, Wind & Fire - Saturday Nite

Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night

I remember riding in my uncle’s car, so I could babysit my cousins and hearing this on the radio when it came out.

 

[Elmo_Lincoln]

Since it is Father's Day, I think it's appropriate to celebrate them in song. My Father has been gone since 1997 and I do miss him greatly. This song seems perfect for him (plus he was a big country music fan):

Loretta Lynn - They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy

 

[BrendaBear]

Why now? Why not. It's a fun song and it crossed my mind.

We Five - You Were On My Mind

 

[Elmo_Lincoln]

The Spinners came up on my suggestions on Youtube this morning so I've been giving them a listen. I don't believe I have any of their music on CD, have to do something about that.

The Spinners - Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me, Girl
