Currently Listening too......

It took me until fairly recently to admit to myself that I like Dolly Parton. As a young lad it just wasn't cool to even admit to having heard of her. I had to wait til I was old enough and worn down enough to realise that what other people think is just inconsequential, before acknowledging that Ms Parton does some lovely singing.



I nearly put up 'Coat of many colours' but its far too sad for me cos I'm a big softy really.

 

I cannot believe anyone doesn't love this woman ... I wish I was her ... my all time idol ...



Dolly wrote this song but it was made famous by Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard.

 

Had to put this on.....

 

Hows about a bit of Harry Belafonte...



How come the music I like mostly pre-dates me?

 

Sorry, Loli, that is my all-time favourite but this one is better darling ...



... but I love them all ... xxxxxx

 

Theres a lot of older stuff I like too, couldn't find the 50's version of this that I first heard on the Goon Show.



Peggy Lee looks stoned and is that Ronald Reagan on the Guitar?

 

Is everybody ready? Cos here's Rock Steady.

Synchronise your feet, get down on the rhythm, high on the beat.



There we go, one I like that was actually in my life time.

 

Speaking of old tunes, heard this one a while back as part of the soundtrack to 'Corrina Corrina', good movie...Btw

 

Turned that one up loud

Put me in mind of another favorite,

 

Hang on a minute, Oscar Peterson AND Louis Armstrong, and no-one likes it!? A bit too groovy eh? Ah well....

 

Proof, if ever it was needed, that the 1980s were an embarrassment. But sometimes fun though

 

I've always liked this one since I was little.
