We’ll ease out of The Hop with one of it’s stars. I know mom liked Elvis. She had a video of his concert in Hawaii and eventually had an album or two but in her 45 collection, Elvis had left the building. The only one I remember is his last Number 1 hit and one of my favorites.
Elvis Presley – Suspicious Minds
Another very 70’s sounding band. Looking Glass – Brandy
Don McLean – American Pie
Mungo Jerry – In The Summertime
Aretha Franklin – I Say A Little Prayer For You It wasn’t until The Blues Brothers in 1980 that I gave Aretha the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. that she deserved.
A song like this can make me long for a simpler, less complicated time. It is so basic, a guitar, a nice melody and lyrics. How did the industry get from here to Justin Bieber? Joni Mtchell – Both Sides Now
Let’s keep going with the ladies. Carole King – So Far Away
