The opposite of yesterday’s Toni Braxton jam Unbreak My Heart.
🎵Heart of Gold by Neil Young (Reprise)
"Heart of Gold" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young. Released from the 1972 album Harvest, it is so far Young's only U.S. No. 1 single. In Canada, it reached No. 1 on the RPM national singles chart for the first time on April 8, 1972, on which date Young held the top spot on both the singles and albums charts. Billboard ranked it as the No. 17 song for 1972. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked it No. 297 on their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
🎵 Blackbird by The Beatles
I’ve set up Alexa to be able to syndicate listens of Amazon Music to my website.
Still needs a bit of work. Wish that Alexa could send URL links as part of it’s data load.
Not sure if I’ll do this frequently…
🎵 Main Title “Somewhere in My Memory” (From “Home Alone”) – Voice by John Williams, Boston Pops Orchestra
🎵 Rocket by Def Leppard
Here’s another song to add to my list of music that references Major Tom from David Bowie’s Space Oddity.
🎵 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Michael Bublé
Reprogramming some of my radio pre-sets in the car. Apparently 105.1 FM is doing Christmas music instead of Country for the holidays.
🎵 Feliz Navidad by José Feliciano
I suspect they switched over late yesterday, but two songs in this morning, I’ve already gotten my first dose of Feliz Navidad, for the not-quite-holiday season. Sometimes It’s taken almost two weeks of Christmas music for my first encounter.
Christmas celebrations seem to start earlier and earlier each year. Pretty soon we’ll have Labor Day and them bam! Christmas!
🎧 Sinnerman – Live In New York/1965 | Nina Simone
"Sinner Man" or "Sinnerman" is an African American traditional spiritual song that has been recorded by a number of performers and has been incorporated in many other of the media and arts. The lyrics describe a sinner attempting to hide from divine justice on Judgment Day. It was recorded in the 1950s by Les Baxter, the Swan Silvertones, the Weavers and others, before Nina Simone recorded an extended version in 1965.
