No. You don’t have to tell me that’s a silly song title. You don’t have to tell me this is a silly song. And I don’t have to tell you that this is by one of the greatest voices in the history of rock and roll. This is all...

Here we go again. Me and my “records that bombed” collection. If you look at the list of songs that were the biggest hits of 1986, you’ll see things like “That’s What Friends Are For,” “Say You, Say Me,” and “Papa Don’t Preach.”...

Brother is home and, as my niece said, same as always except with a sling now. So I’m going to exhale and stop adulting for the rest of the year. But you’re stuck with more countdowns. Next month, we move forward...

Holy cow, what a car bill! I’m not complaining (as I’ll explain later this evening in a separate discussion), though…still cheaper than buying a new one! Speaking of “holy cow,” how about the great voice of this gentleman back...

Most of these songs have really fallen out of people’s memories. At least this guy hasn’t. Back for his second appearance on my 100 favorites list (his first solo appearance) is one of the greats of rock history. Enjoy, and...

There was severe weather last night, and we have another watch today. This, they say, is an “addition” to the forecasted wild weather later on this evening. They call it the “ring of fire,” that awful heat bubble that’s baking...

For many of you the look at 1964 ends today, because the top two songs are country songs. What did I know then? And, like Duke Ellington said, there’s really only two kinds of music: good and bad. This one is really...

It's been a long time since I wrote about a song in my head; but take it from me, they have been swirling around in my brain.
Today's song came from watching "People Puzzler" on the Game Show Network. It was one of the answers...

Tomorrow starts the merry, merry month of May, and I’ll jump ahead ten years to 1973. But today closes out the look at 60-year-old songs, and closing things out is my favorite from 1963. Hang on tight.

It’s top ten time! After looking at the great songs in movies that weren’t nominated for Oscars in alphabetical order, we move on to the top ten. Let’s get rolling with a rock and roll classic that inspired a movie...

Last week I went to Ruby Falls in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and started thinking about all the songs that have Ruby for the subject (the woman’s name, not the ruby gem). Not as popular as Sally (I did that one a few years ago), but...

Happy holiday weekend to everyone in the US! Do take a moment to remember that your freedom isn’t free, and there are a lot of bodies in national cemeteries that paid for it. That is what Memorial Day is all about. This...

Just in case you had any doubt whatsoever as to what would close out this month-long look at favorites with “dream” in the title, I’m confirming it today. Most of you knew, back on February 27 or so when I announced this...

This hasn’t been a very lonely countdown, thanks to all of you. Sorry if your favorites didn’t make the top ten (may this be a nudge to have you make your own lists....I don’t have a copyright on this, y’know ). In...

From the warmth of summer to the cool bite of autumn in one quick day! That’s okay, I have a sweatshirt, a hoodie, and lots of hot tea to keep my hands warm! Here’s something else to keep you warm: another great song with “baby”...

Roy Orbison has sung many songs about dreams. Among them are “In Dreams,” “Dream Baby,” and “Dream.” Of them, my favorite is “Dream”. It is a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics. The song was included in the movie “You’ve Got...

“Blue Bayou” is among my favorite songs sung by Roy Orbison. He gives it just the right touch that makes you truly want to head out to a bayou. The song was written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. It was recorded by Orbison in 1963...

Is it any wonder that Orbison’s signature song is “Pretty Woman.” And for all of you who enjoyed the movie “Pretty Woman” with Julia Roberts can’t you just picture her strutting along to this song?
The song was written by...

For a musical post, I thought I would write about one of my favorite singers Roy Orbison. His first hit was “Running Scared” which he had written along with Joe Melson. It was an operatic rock ballad and released in 1961. The song...
