kpmac Loc: Ragley, La

I thought I was the only person in America who really liked Moby Grape. And 8:05 was my all-time favorite.

Bridges Loc: Memphis, Charleston SC, now Nazareth PA

I doubt many people would know Moby Grape but 8:05 is a winner in my books!

BBurns Loc: South Bay, California

Have over 10,000 songs I downloaded from the free music download until they were starting to find people who have done the large amount of songs and were charging them for the songs or trying to taken them to court. So I purchased CD albums with the songs on there in case they said I illegally downloaded the music.

Bridges Loc: Memphis, Charleston SC, now Nazareth PA

I hope they check out some of the songs I mentioned to someone that are little-known songs by popular artists. Two songs that are way up on my keeper's list are Bob Seger's "In Your Time" and CSN's "Thoroughfare Gap". I really like the message in Thoroughfare as it relates to life as being like a train ride. At the end of the song it says the destination isn't as important as the ride.

There are other songs by artists not listed like ELO (Mr Blue Sky and Don't Take Me Down), The Tokens (The Lion Sleeps Tonight), Los Del Rio (Macarena), Jan and Dean, The Shirelles (Soldier Boy & Mama Said), Tom Jones (Green Green Grass of Home), Roger Miller (King of the Road and Dang Me), Bobbie Gentry (Ode to Billy Jo and Fancy), Jennie C. Riley (Harper Valley PTA), Voya Con Dios (Just a Friend of Mine), Gene Pitney (The Great Pretender), Dean Martin (That's Amore), The Archies (Sugar, Sugar), Ben E. King (Stand By Me), Everly Brothers (All I Have to Do Is Dream, Cathy's Clown, Let It Be Me), The Coasters (Yakety Yak and Charlie Brown), Otis Redding (Sitting On the Dock of the Bay and Time In a Bottle), Harry Belafonte (The Banana Song - Oh Day-O), The Five Satins (In the Still of the Night), Carol King (I feel the Earth Move and So Far Away), -- I could go on for quite a while but must sleep sometime! I think as a follow-up to these posts I will list my 25 favorite songs and challenge others to do the same. If we get a half dozen or so lists we might find some new songs we weren't familiar with.

Thanks -- only familiar with about half of those - I will be experimenting! If you want to hear one of the best wedding songs of all time (IMO) take a listen to "Love Changes Everything" from the stage play ASPECTS OF LOVE. Listen to the Michael Ball rendition.

During the height of the Vietnam War there was a song sung by a military man Sgt. Berry Saunders. Do you remember the song The Green Berets?
