Variety of genres and artists to get our groove on or calm down or whatever. XM Radio dial flipper. In 1974 I was 14 and I have a huge soft sentimental spot for Alice Cooper.

I love all of these also.  I really loved them all.  "After the Love is Gone" comes to mind.  What a song!!

 

And Karen Carpenter . . . what a voice, and what a loss so young.

 

Actually I could listen to 70s and early 80s music all day every day.


Magnificent to see Earth Wind and Fire live @LilacTree.  They were touring for a while and I had the opportunity to see them.  Such an experience.  Such raw talent.

 

The Carpenters, were great as well.  I had to tell my younger son who wrote that song that Luther Vandross made famous.  Yes, it was the Carpenters.

 

Do you like Carol King?  Love her....

That's right.  I can get my groove on with many, many artists past and present.  I love music.  Sweet, sweet, sweet music.

 

"I Love Music"

I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it's groovin'

Makes me laugh, makes me smile
All the while
Whenever I'm with you girl
While we dance, make romance
I'm enchanted by the things that you do

I love music
sweet, sweet music
Long as it's swinging
All the joy that it's bringin'

I'm so happy to be in complete harmony,
I love you, girl
And to hold you so close in my arms
I'm so glad you're mine all mine mine

Nothing can be better than a sweet love song
So sweet
So sweet
So mellow, mellow
When you got the girl that you love in your arm
Oh honey, I love you, I love you, yeah
Music is the healing force of the world
It's understood by every man, woman, boy and girl
And that's why, that's why I say
I love music
Any kind of music
I love music
Just as long as it's groovin', groovin'

Music makes the atmosphere so fine
Lights down low
Just me and you baby, you know
'Specially when you got a cold glass of wine
Mellow, mellow wine and song

I love music
Any, any kind of music
I love music
Just as long as it's groovin'

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love music
Sweet, sweet music
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love music

@Itiswhatitis

Absolutely love Carole King.  I have her Tapestry CD, one of the all time greats.  Also Carly Simon, Dionne Warwick/Burt Bacharach collaboration album, "A House is Not a Home," later also recorded by the wonderful Luther VanDross.  That song always made me cry.

 

My house was filled with music all the time.  There were no tech devices in those days . . . what was being played was heard by my girls and me . . . and we reminisce all the time about those days and the wonderful music that we never realized would last forever in our memories.

I'm seeing him for the 24th time in Grand Rapids MI, on Aug 15th-front row baby!

Have always loved Paul from 1964!


@pood1

We are seeing him on the 7th at Giants Stadium.  Our seats are far from the front row.

 

I had a friend whose father worked for Ed Sullivan.  We were recruited to scream (in the audience) on the Beatles' second visit to his show.  No one had to encourage us to scream.

 

I was able to see numerous groups on Ed Sullivan thanks to my friend's father.

Carol King's "It's Too Late."  I love this one.  Actually all of her music.  Did you catch the Kennedy Center Honors where she was honored?  OMG.  If you didn't you might be able to catch snipets on youtube.
