I was rummaging around YouTube and saw this. I wonder how it would sound under a more controlled venue.

Found this on YouTube tonight. Back in 2015, Bob Dylan of all people recorded a Frank Sinatra tribute album, and did a great job of it.

Music - A Universal Pacifier
Let us hear your favorites.

Another Flash Mob.
I like to see and study the faces of both , performers and audience - especially some of the kids. So interesting.

A classic recorded in the 1940s by Mel Blanc doing his best Al Jolson imitation. Complete with mouth trumpet, Woody Woodpecker style laughs, a bird solo and Porky Pig at the end.

Yes, I definitely agree that music is the universal pacifier.  It is for me, and many others as well. 
I just read a sad news story today about the singer and composer Carly Simon.  Her two sisters both just passed away this weekend,  within one day of each other.  That reminded me of the theme song that Carly wrote and recorded for the movie "Swing Shift" - a story that takes place during the WWII years.  There is something both happy and sad about the movie, and the song has that same feeling.

A great song from husband-and-wife duo Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan. The duo was popular in the early 70s, scoring 5 top 30 country hits between 1970 and 1972, with the biggest being "Tennessee Bird Walk" (#1 country / #23 pop in 1970). This was the flip side to the 1974 single "Something on Your Mind" and later appeared on the 2001 compilation album A Little Out of Sync. Misty died early last year at the age of 75. Jack is now 80.

Michael -  I liked the song, and loved looking at those old black and white pictures from long ago.  I have many old photo albums that my Mom put together,  with family pictures that look very much the same. I also like the philosophy of the song lyrics - "Here Today, and Gone Tomorrow".  Sad but true.

Great sentiment!

From 1978. The theme from Gilligan's Island set to the tune of "Stairway to Heaven". Unfortunately Led Zeppelin's management didn't find this funny at all and sued the band for copyright infringement. Since Little Roger and The Goosebumps didn't have the resources to fight it, they withdrew the single. It later re-appeared on a CD in 2000.

Some Relaxing Old American Songs

        Let it play in the background.

The first song Ray Stevens ever wrote, when he was 17 or 18. It was the flip side of his first single, "Rang Tang Ding Dong", a song originally recorded by doo-wop group The Cellos.

Michael..
...Ray Stevens had a very mature voice at age 17-18..

He did. The video description says he grew up singing in the choir at church so I'm sure that helped.

Here's an odd one. A Halloween version of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

That's a beautiful but sad song, bringing back old memories of the past. The saddest of all is, "I'll Be Seeing You" . . . also recorded by Sinatra. 

Back in 1949, several artists recorded a song called "The Wedding of Lili Marleen", dealing with the character from the popular WWII-era song. Comedy duo Homer and Jethro teamed up with June Carter to give the world this parody of the "Wedding" song...

Michael - This was recorded many years before June Carter met Johnny Cash,  and fell into that, burning  "Ring of Fire"!
I'll find it and post it! 

I've heard "Ring of Fire" many times. Great song

An interesting rendition of "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain". I'm not sure when this was recorded but I'd guess late 1940s or early 1950s since that's when he was most popular.

Can I come for help to the rest of the song that someone closed their show with?  I think it was either Doris Day or Diana Shore... "Good night, sweet dreams and da de dum, dum dum ..........."  driving me NUTS! And there's another that is almost the same melody but different next line. '40s or early '50s.  I love the '40s/'50s & remember almost all the words to the ones that made the Hit Parade. Had a lousy voice so did my singing under my breath, and how I loved to dance. Guess we did a lot of singing at our house, my brother's obit listed my sister & I as surviving siblings.... and included the nickname that he called her our whole life, "Tootsie". I sneek in to listen & read what y'all are talking about, so many good memories from those early years.

Shirley - it sounds familiar, but nothing is coming to mind.   Post some of your "Fav's".

Don't know why but this has been running around in my head all night. Reminded me of watching the "submarine races" (which may not mean anything to most).

I remember that, Shirley. I am trying to find a reference, but my best guess is Dinah Shore. I watched The Dinah Shore Show regularly, but don't remember watching Doris Day; I didn't care for her that much.

Hi Shirley - Welcome to "Just Plain Old Music".  This might be the song you remember?
Lawrence Welk Show closing theme Song

"Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn"

Goodnight, goodnight, until we meet again
Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn 'til then
And though it's always sweet sorrow to part
You know you'll always remain in my heart
Goodnight, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you
Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true
And now until we meet again,
Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn 

Oh, another good one we used to watch oh so long ago.

I think Dinah Shore signed her shows off with "See the USA in your Chevrolet, America's the greatest lant of all.."
