Unlike the 1956 song, I was alive when this one came out…but I was listening to country music in 1966 (as you’ll see later in the countdown ), so I didn’t get to hear this when it originally came out....

When I said the songs would be slower, it presented a challenge. Some people can dance to anything. And, honestly, this is a song that I liked roller skating to! This is one of those great R&B ballads from the 70s. I hope you...

Well, as promised, it’s time for a song, and I’m at Mark’s Feed Store…just not the one that was in the discussion last night. I have to get another pickup at the Amazon drop off/pickup place today, so I might as well eat here...

You know, with this song NOT making the top ten, I should have done a top 15 for 1975. It was an amazing year, and I have lots of good memories because it was my first year of listening to rock and roll. Even though this didn’t...

Oh, so you don’t like the country music, huh? Well, here’s something that will cure your headache from country music. I frequently put this disclaimer in for anyone who stumbled over this because they got up at some ridiculous...

Oh, wasn’t 1960 a good year. I was born there. Despite that, there was lots of great music that year. I’m celebrating having turned 65 earlier this month with songs that are also turning 65 this year!...

From doo-wop we go to mid-60s soul as I continue to celebrate my birthday by celebrating the birthdays of great music. This side of the countdowns is dedicated to 60-year-old music. Dancing is mandatory to this one!

It’s a soulful day today! In addition to the song that came from 1960, it’s another Motown R&B classic for 1965. What a great year for Motown that was!!! Pretty good year for music all around. And that was 60 years ago now....

Happy 60th birthday to this, and many other great songs from 1965! There’s a definite 60s vibe to a lot of these songs, and yet in spite of that, they’re timeless! Here’s a good case of that.

From the silliness of yesterday’s tune we turn to some seriously great soul music for today’s look at the songs from 1965. These are the things we had 60 years ago. Kids, if you wonder why “old people” hate your music,...

Throughout this look at songs from 70 years ago I’ve mentioned that a number of songs gave me a large selection of versions to choose from. This is one of the biggest examples of that. One of the most recorded songs of 1955…which...

If you think the 1955 stuff sounds strange, you can comfort yourself that it was 70 years ago. But 1985? You still hear these songs on the oldies channel!
“Oldies channel.” Ouch. I lived through that year. And now...

More Motown! The perfect antidote to country music, right? Yes, indeed, I do love them both. I grew up with country music, but I grew into rock and roll, which may explain a lot of the discrepancies in my tastes....

So…did yesterday’s soft rock put you to sleep? Fear not, it’s two days of Motown!!! I found this 45 in a junk store that my parents ran, and the 14-year-old country music geek fell in love with it. Here we are, 50 years later,...

Darn it all, I wasn’t going out today. But it is trash day, and the cleaner sent me a text that my blanket is done, so I piled on the layers and headed out. I have the new tea shipment to sample (smells wonderful), and I have...
