My best songs - what are yours?

[shaw8700@outlook.com]

I get goose bumps whenever I hear “Rainy Night in Georgia” and “Sunday Morning Coming Down”. I don’t know who wrote the first but I will always be indebted to Kris Kristofferson for this song.

Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow by The Rivingtons

Dance with my father again. Luther Vandross. It will always bring me to tears. Even right now just thinking about it.

[Velvet]

So many songs and genres, among my favorites; “Feel It Still” by Portugal. The Man and “Today” by The Smashing Pumpkins.

[Carla B]

There are so many...but two are: "Killing Me Softly with His Song," by Roberta Flack, and The Sound of Silence," Simon and Garfunkel.

[CFrance]

Puff the Magic Dragon And no, it was not about drugs, according to Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, the man who wrote it. It was simply the story of a boy growing up.

And speaking of Simon & Garfunkel, The Boxer.

One I will never, ever get tired of is I Can See Clearly Now (the rain is gone).

[coralway]

If it’s by Lennon & McCartney - it’s a favorite

[Carla B]

Yes, especially "Yesterday." According to Wikipedia, it was voted the best song of the 20th Century by expert British musicians and audience members.

[D&BSmith]

Pretty much anything by Zepplin, The Stones and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

[tophcfa]

Blue Sky, Almond Brothers

Paint it Black............Rolling Stones.

I confess to being a bit anal regarding drumming.
Charlie Watts was a great drummer, probably one of the best drummers of his time.
Not a show boater like many rock drummers, but always perfect timing.
His drumming on Paint it Black is as good as it can get.

I get goose bumps whenever I hear “Rainy Night in Georgia” and “Sunday Morning Coming Down”. I don’t know who wrote the first but I will always be indebted to Kris Kristofferson for this song.

Kris Kristofferson basically chronicled my life, since every song of his that I’ve heard brings back so many personal memories. But now, Toby Keith’s “Don’t Let the Old Man In” has become my theme song.

Oh my gosh so many songs that I love. I have Cd's for every year that I custom made... also on my Phone (Spotify).

I'll just throw out 2 when they come on I have to listen to all the way through.

Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon. Also looking for a current karaoke singer to do this one. Had a girlfriend ace it back in '96. She said she didn't know the song well when I asked... could've fooled me!

...and Driver's Seat by Smith and the Tears.

[MandoMan]

I get goose bumps whenever I hear “Rainy Night in Georgia” and “Sunday Morning Coming Down”. I don’t know who wrote the first but I will always be indebted to Kris Kristofferson for this song.

Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack is one of my favorites. Excellent use of it was many years ago, a NYC news station played it behind videos of all the new mothers holding their newborns on January 1st. Made me cry.

[Stu from NYC]

Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

"The Lucky One" by Alison Krauss.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is another of my favorites. He did it so well.
