#chart-topper

Just two months after his early October release from a three-year sentence on a gun charge, Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty released ‘FDO’ on December 12, produced by TP808. The gritty video shows luxury cars, money piles, and a pointed lyric jabbing Lakers rookie Bronny James about living in his dad LeBron’s shadow, complete with Lakers jerseys and father-son photos. It quickly topped U.S. Apple…

David and I were chatting in comments yesterday and he mentioned that we could both use some cheering up via some Motown music, which we both dearly love!  The thought wouldn’t leave my head, so when I sat down to do a music post for today, naturally Motown was zinging around up in the vast wasteland inside my head!  I didn’t think long and hard, just picked one that is upbeat, and this was one…

I mentioned last night that if I made the rest of this week “America Week” then I would have an excuse to play my favourite by the group, America!  Actually, my favourite is probably a toss up between this one and “Tin Man” but this is the one that usually comes to mind first, so I think it probably has a slight edge over “Tin Man”.   The folk/rock group America originally consisted of three…

I gave some thought to reduxing “Tin Man” by the group America tonight, but for some reason this song kept popping into my mind instead.  Since I have reduxed this a few times before, I know that most of you seem to like it, and tonight I’m just too tired to go in search of a fresh song, so take a deep breath and sing along! The folk/rock group America originally consisted of three members:…

A Horse With No Name (Redux)(Redux)

Okay, okay … yeah, I’ve reduxed this one before, as it happens.  But … I’ve been trying to get the energy and motivation to get back into my music posts, and yesterday our friend Clive mentioned this one (I had a ‘toon on Jolly Monday that was a spin-off of the name of the song), and it immediately went … click click CLICK and took root in my mind!  Clive says it’s one of his favourites (in…

♫ Back In My Arms Again ♫

It’s been a while, I think, since I played any Supremes’ songs and tonight I was in the mood for their upbeat style, so I went in search of (and found) one that I haven’t played here before! This was The Supremes’ fifth consecutive #1 hit in the US.  It was, as most of The Supremes’ music was, written by the songwriting team of Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland, known collectively as…

♫ Seasons In The Sun ♫

I’ve been intending to redux this one for several months now … actually since last March when I saved a draft of it, but then never got around to actually playing it here!  Tonight, I am behind on everything … responding to comments, writing my morning post, emails, and sleep!  So, what better time for a redux of this song by Terry Jacks?  Hope you enjoy it! Little did I know until tonight that…

A Horse With No Name (Redux)

The folk/rock group America originally consisted of three members: Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek.  They were all U.S. Air Force brats whose fathers were stationed in the UK.  A Horse With No Name, went on to top the American singles chart for three weeks in early 1972 and reached No.3 in the UK.  I like the song, and can actually remember most of the lyrics, but I have one question: …
