Songs of the Oldies

I'm an oldies girl, born in 1959 and spent my teenage years in the 70's. I'm still a huge Guess Who, Led Zeplin, John Mellencamp, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Three Dog Night and CCR fan. Those are only a few. There are so many more. I like some songs over the years and listen to some new including Country & Western. My first husband (passed away) said I had a radio heart. I didn't watch a lot of TV, choosing to have the stereo going all the time. My kids remember me always having music on up until I married my now ex second husband. Lately I've been looking at stereos to put in my little cabin being built. It's amazing how you can listen to a song and they can put you where you first heard it or bring back deep memories. I can't listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival and not think of Huntington Lake, CA where I spent every summer. It would take too much time and space to put all the songs but here are a few 1970's I still listen to: Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd Time by Pink Floyd Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel I've Always Been Crazy by Waylon Jennings Driving My Life Away by Eddie Rabbit I'm a Stand By My Woman Man by Ronnie Milsap Hungry Eyes by Merle Haggard Slow Hand by Conway Twitty Hey Loretta by Loretta Lynn What are your favorite songs of the past?

My "songs of the past" are from the 50's and 60's, mainly Italian songs, because I lived there in those years. I like a lot Classical music.

@noni1959 I have never been a big fan of Pavarotti. I think we like more the songs of our young years. I was already married in the 70's and I had very little time for the songs and music.

@dave121495 It would be cool if James Corden would have him on carpool karaoke.

I listen to Bollywood songs only. Not heard the English song so much. No big ideas of it.

I play oldie songs and not-so-recent ones in the car but we do not have the same play list. I more of the soft type of music. I have some John Denver Songs, Whitney Houston, Kenny G, Andy Williams, some jazz and local music too. I love The Carpenters too and the Bee Gees and some others which I can't remember all :)

Yes, music has a way of doing that. I call it food for the soul for that reason. I have many favorite Journey and Fleetwood Mac songs.

Barbara Streisand has the most beautiful voice. I remember watching her as a kid in movies and didn't know she was a singer until later.
