You will not believe who sent me a DM. Someone I respect their privacy.
She sent me a new Avatar to post and I did! Lady K loves it.
I can hardly wait for it to show up...

Without You - 1972
Song by Harry Nilsson

Awesome song that I have totally forgotten

Right? That is why I made this thread, and love it so. It is so cool to hear these again…

Birthday wishes to Barry Gibb, born this day, September 1, 1946, 78 years young. He had a ton of hits with his brothers in the Bee Gees but I really like this one. It was a number one hit but it seems to have been overshadowed by their later Saturday Night Fever songs.

Bee Gees - Jive Talkin' - Bee Gees

Birthday wishes to the late Conway Twitty, born this day, September 1, 1933. He was only 59 when he passed, way too young in my opinion. He had a ton of hits on the country charts, and I remember he was a favorite of my Father's. I think this is one of his best known songs.

Conway Twitty -- Hello Darlin'

Excellent choice! I think this has always been my favorite tune from the Bee Gees.

(Last one, I promise )

Birthday wishes to Gloria Estefan, born this day, September 1, 1957. She's a guilty pleasure of mine; she has a fantastic voice and her music with the Miami Sound Machine made me appreciate Latin music.

George Thorogood posted this picture earlier today on his Twitter account with himself and the band along with legend Chubby Checker so I had to give him a listen. For being in his 80s, Chubby looks much younger.

ah, got you. I misunderstood. Here is Jeff in 2006 with "Like A Hurricane" He was sick again, the meds affecting his body, but his playing was as great as ever.

I remember him from the movie Roadhouse!!!

The man who wrote and sang the Twist way before this bum did it! Mr. Hank Ballard!!! Ask anyone from Baltimore or Phila.

Theme songs? We used to rock out to Buffy!

Back in the day she was a real hottie!!

My all time favorite Rolling Stones track… I don’t know about the 2009 mix, I will have to listen to see if they screwed it up.

There are sooooo many great songs by the Roling Stones!! Here's one they never p[lay any more.

 

[bonnietaylor200a]

Foghat - Slow Ride (music video)​

One of the all-time greats!!!!

 

[bonnietaylor200a]

I'm an old man now, but Fifties-Sixties-Seventies music cannot be beat. I especially loved the love songs.

My favorite group of all time, doing their farewell concert after 39 years of lyrical and musical genius as a group...

My favorite all-time song---for a number of years, my leadoff bar karaoke song

Anyone remember

 

[bonnietaylor200a]

Bachman & Turner - Takin' Care Of Business (Live At The Roseland Ballroom NYC)​

I would have loved to have seen these guys play !!!

 

[bonnietaylor200a]

Old Time Rock and Roll

I agree with that choice. Also, Rock and Roll Never Forgets is another one that you want to roll the windows down and let everyone else listen to it with you.

.....to continue on the Seger theme! You'll Accompany me....Nine Tonight

 

[bonnietaylor200a]

Exhibit B (to me, anyway)

Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Feel Lucky

How about this one

 

[Newbieincali]

I'm just going to throw this out there...
Big Mamma and her beautiful voice..

 

[deltablues65]

...Tango in the Night....Fleetwood Mac.....I always wanted to hear this track live in concert, but it was one that never seemed to make the set list

In August 1977, very close USAF active duty friends---husband and wife---the wife, Kitty, cried when Elvis died.
She had an "ACHY BREAKY HEART" over a performer she loved so dearly. It certainly wasn't reason to line dance for her, but there are songs Elvis did that certainly wondered where the song came from. One example:

Ironically, one of the last Elvis live performances had him singing the Paul Anka cover....wondering if he was predicting his own death.

Love that song!!! And he could really sing, anything.

Cass Elliot was so amazing! I love that song!

Guns N' Roses - Since I Don't Have You​

This is good but the original is better IMHO

 

[bonnietaylor200a]

The Beatles - Hey Jude​

And with that they destroyed R&R!!!!
