What Music Are You Listening to Now or Your Favourite Songs of All Time

Those who have difficulty liking classical music should go to a live concert/play or Christmas classic - The Nutcracker will give a whole different perspective and meaning to classic music. Listening to live classical music has a whole different effect.

Or just for fun how about this combo of singers..

 

I've just started watching "River" on ITVx with Nicola Walker.

This was played over the opening scene in a car, with Nicola Walker singing along with it.
Brought back a few memories.




A sobering thought is that Tina Charles is now 71.

 

Going through my few thousand MP3s I came across this from 1966.
Surprisingly, it was co-written by Carol Bayer Sager, (I've a few of her albums), partly ripped from a melody by the classical composer Muzio Clenmatini.

It's a nothing tune, there's not even a "middle eight," just a chord change half-way through, but it made No.2 in the UK.

What makes it catchy, is the descending four chord sequence, that starts with the line "When you're close to me," BbM7, Am, Gm, C7.

Similar progressions are used in other popular songs.

 

I was thinking about this the other day

 

I ripped "I Love to Love," added to the playlist on one of my jukebox wall boxes, after deleting a track to find room for it, printed off a new title card, videoed it and added it to my YouTube Channel.



I also found this, recorded in 2003 when she was 49.
She'd still got it.

 

Todd Rundgren, produced and wrote all the songs on a double album I bought in the early seventies called, "Something/Anything."
Fifteen years ago, I bought my favourite track from it, as a single, where he plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals (not all at the same time).




Seven years ago, he was still playing and singing it.

 

I've been listening to/ watching a reaction video on youtube. Sorry, I don't know how to link it.

I'm watching "Mollyboy" , a 20 something guy, (cute as a friggen button, he is !!) who is listening to Classic Rock for the first time. He is a hip-hop generation guy and he just LOOOVES classic rock now !!
