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

Not even one ugly "tatt" between them.

 

Here's a favourite of mine. First recorded by the doo-wop group, "The Ink Spots." It was written by two of their members, Ivory "Deek" Watson and William "Pat" Best.

It became a jazz standard, recorded by no end of singers, including Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Shore, Dean Martin, Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells, Sammy Davis Jr, the Four Freshmen and decades later, Linda Ronstadt and even later, Halie Loren

Perhaps Nat Cole's version is the most popular. Though this, with an orchestra by Dinah Shore from 1947, is my favourite.

Oh and I like to play it myself on my Tyros 5.

It was a good performance, but she, like so many other British artists of the early sixties, including the Beatles, covered the recordings of many American artists.
I remember this song well, as it was an album I had, titled, "Make Way For Dionne Warwick," I bought in 1964. Half a dozen Bacharach & David compositions are on that album, including this.



At the time, I was running a radio, TV and electrical appliance store, part of a chain, in North London.
I taped the whole album on to one of the reel-to-reel tape recorders we stocked, which came on legs. They came with one blank tape and a take up reel. I'd have one playing the tape at the front of the shop next to the doors.
We sold a lot of these machines, the "deal breaker" was that I'd include the tape with the sale, instead of a blank tape. Most buyers wanted it. So I recorded more tapes, so the sold ones could be quickly replaced.

 

For the Holiday’s I listen to all the happy Christmas songs playing on the radio. They all bring smiles..

 

I previously posted this by Michael MacDonald and Toni Braxton.
It was recorded in 2009.



Here's another Michael MacDonald duet, this time with Aretha Franklin.

The song was written by Bacharach and David and recorded in 1991.




They don't write 'em like these any more.

Seasoned gambler here, and I have spent many years in digital gambling. I learned control through wins and losses. Consistency became my core rule. Fast money rarely work. Experience always matters. Recently I had a solid session while playing digitally. I used my usual approach. Bet sizes stayed reasonable. The balance started growing. It felt deserved. Chance was only a small factor here https://lalabetlogin.com/.

After the win, I stayed focused. I checked the rules and details. The withdrawal process was clean. Funds arrived properly. That result confirmed my approach. Discipline once again paid off.

I share this as a real case. This is not hype. Online wins are real. They require patience. Careful play beats impulse. Long-term thinking brings progress.
