I've been a bad general the last couple of weeks. My inner Frenchman's been in his last throes a lot lately. He's been turning corners all over the place, but I think combat operations are over now and I'm declaring mission accomplished, or at least I will after a little mid-Friday diversion.
In the past, I've asked you what your favorite protest songs are. Today, I'd like to hear about your three favorite love songs, even the cheesy ones.
I've always been a sucker for:
You are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker (with Billy Preston and Patti Labelle--I love her--in this version)
Air that I Breath - The Hollies
Some Kind of Wonderful - Grand Funk Railroad (God they're old, but looking at this list, I must be too.)
Sorry, no Barry White.
love love love joe cocker..
ReplyDeleteand patti labelle is amazing....gee
thanks, general.
Maybe I'm in a mood, but right now,
ReplyDeleteSacred Love- Bad Brains
No Woman No Cry- Bob Marley
Bad Luck Child- Muddy Waters
(anatomicallyappropriate)Salute.
hmmmm. how about three good ones at the moment? i can't hope to nail down something as heavy as 'three favorite'. These might change in a minute! But I can groove on all of them, sure.
ReplyDelete1. Obsession - Aventura
2. Right Down the Line - Gerry Rafferty
3. She's Fresh - Kool and the Gang
Ship Song by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
ReplyDeleteGorecki by Lamb (full 6:33 version)
Let's Go Out Tonight by The Blue Nile
are 3 wonderful ones but it's not written in stone.
Love the Cocker! The Mrs. and I have tears in our eyes.
ReplyDeleteTry this Cocker: Leave Your Hat On . Now THAT'S a Love Song.
"Leave your hat on" is originally a Randy Newman song?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, speaking of Rand, how 'bout
It's Money that I love
also,
Here, There, and Everywhere
and,
Every Woman (Dave Mason, late of "traffic")
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI miss Billy Preston.
