.....I must have missed that second one....

Here's another golden oldie from the swinging 60s...Freddie and the Dreamers..

With the Pittsburgh Steelers making the NFL playoffs again this year, I was reminded of this oddity from 1976.

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by Terry Bradshaw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJZD8Cb2Oo8

This version hit #17 on the country chart, making Terry Bradshaw the only person to have a Top 20 hit and win the Super Bowl in the same year (at least to my knowledge). He did release a few more singles and albums, but this is the only one that was a hit. The song was written and originally recorded by Hank Williams in 1949, and the most popular version was done by BJ Thomas (#8 in 1966).

Well have to admit I have never heard of him but....I simply love his voice and I liked this song....perhaps he is not so known here in UK, either that or I have been to sleep for some time....I have of course heard of Hank Williams but still not sure if I am familiar with this tune....

Jackie, Terry Bradshaw was a championship football (our version of football) player.  I remember when this song came out and loved his version.  Terry Bradshaw is retired from football and is selling something else on TV now.  He has less hair than he had in the picture with the song.

Who knew?! That's a great recording and reveals another side of Bradshaw

Terry Bradshaw is the bald man who hustles a couple of people into their house and tells them how to get a Shingles Shot.  Have you seen it?  I'm not sure if he had shingles or got a shot, but it's a good commercial.  He played quite a few years for the Pittsburgh Steelers if my memory is correct.

P.S.  Several years ago he played the father of the Southern man who drives a fancy car in commercials--and this man has appeared in several movies with screen play by John Grisham.  I forget this man's name.

I believe it's  Matthew McConaughey.

That's it, DonKlan.

Thanks,
Sue

A while back I posted a link for Jay White (The Alto Sax Of Jay White) which only had one or two selections. Someone has posted the whole album --- and in my opinion, worth listening to the whole thing.  The comments as you scroll down the page indicate Jay is no longer with us.
Luckily, I have this album.

Beautiful music -

 There is a song quiz going on in http://www.seniorsandfriends.org/index.php?board=22.0..Everyone is welcome to try..The songs chosen are those that most people are familiar with or have heard recently...I encourage Googling and do not think that is is cheating as it gives one a  lot of practice in using the search machine Google so one can feel a part of trying for answers they might have forgotten...

Wonderful acapella group. Inspirational song.

donklan - Thanks for posting the video of this outstanding group of singers.  I enjoyed it very much, and will save it and listen again.

Donklan...
...yes, thank you....beautifully sung, and stunning scenery...Do we know where this scenery was? have to admit, as stunning as the small white chapel looked, it would be much too far to reach it... well maybe by helicopter...

Donklin  That is a good one.  Can tell that the scenery is just running film behind them. It is beautiful though.  Looks like Switzerland to me.

Here's a song I remember fondly from my days of listening to an "adult standards" station in high school (they played mostly pop hits from the 40s and 50s).

"Que Sera Sera" by Doris Day, from the 1956 movie The Man Who Knew Too Much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZbKHDPPrrc

Doris Day recently celebrated her 95th birthday

Yes, We all went around singing that.  Couldn't believe she was 95. I brought her up on Web the other day. It was her at age 87 and she looked. same hair, freckles as when young. Doubt she went in for cosmetic work. Really still into her animal protection program.

Having a real "weather turn-around".  Day before yesterday, it was so warm, had to turn on the A/C;  yesterday was kind of windy and cool; today the morning started out in the 40's and I had to turn on the heat!  But hey!  This is Texas, what was I expecting?!!  Hope everyone here is in a "moderate temperature" range.

Remember being young?

WOWWW...............VERY MOVING.

Two very talented youngsters with incredible voices! A beautiful way to end the day. Thanks Rick!

Ella Fitzgerald turned 100 on April 25. It is hard for me to pick my favorite Ella song. Here is one of them.

Rick.  Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Rammel, thank you for the link to the 2 children singing "You Raise Me Up".  I'd never heard that song and both children had beautiful clear voices with so much expression.  A great video!  Thanks.

For those who like blues rock, I stumbled across this tune from the late great Lonnie Mack the other day. Although known primarily for his guitar work, he was an amazing singer as well.

WOW!  Thanks, Oldiesmann.  I don't remember Lonnie Mack, but I wish I did. (I was busy raising toddlers in the early 60's).  What a treat!
