I miss her very much

I don't think I've ever posted these guys here, and that's not right. Because they are one of the very few bands I saw live more than once and they were absolutely amazing at both shows I saw. Just phenomenal.

And... he's right.

The Power Of Love- Huey Lewis And The News

Shocking Blue - Venus

A friend just mentioned this song being from Motley Crue... which, of course they did a cover of it (and it's pretty good)... but for me, the original is still the best.

Brownsville Station - Smokin' in the Boy's Room

For some reason, I woke up this morning with this song going through my head... wonder who inspired that thought...

Thanks @BrendaBear

Tonight, I'd like to post "All I want for Christmas is You"

No, not that. The original song of that name, released five years before Mariah. Original artists: Vince Vance and the Valients. I was kind of impressed by Kelly Clarkson's version. She's not my cup of tea, but she absolutely NAILED it with this bluesy version.

Blue Christmas- 1957
Song by Elvis Presley

That, to me, is the Christmas album. I realized years later after buying it on CD, I never, ever, listened to the other side of the album.

Yep. It's not Christmas without Elvis. But I always thought the best Elvis Christmas song was the lead track: "Santa Claus is Back in Town"

Honorable mention to versions by Brian Setzer and Kurt Russell(!)

PS., That Big Black Cadillac has to be a '57 Eldorado

I have a question for everyone out there.. Is the song "Baby It's COld Outside" Rapey?? Some people (Women I believe) say it is..

Only the kids. It isn’t rapey to me.

I agree with you I don't think it's rapey either.. I think people don't understand the context because of the time the Original song was recorded..

I think people think its rapey because seduction is a lost skill. It's not reaper, it's flirty.

Now, who wants to sit on Santa's lap?

Wow… I haven’t heard Elvis Costello’s what’s so funny about peace love and understanding in years!

We saw him and Nick Lowe a couple years ago in NYC. Of course they jammed on this.
