My father was a huge jazz fan of that era, my mum was a classical lover. I had an interesting childhood, then Douggie marched in with

I stumbled on this site today and I thought it was pretty interesting. You can't hear the songs here but you can copy/paste the titles into Google and they usually pop up as You Tube videos.
http://www.bobborst.com/popculture/numberonesongs/ Your favorite pop songs are all there somewhere.

Strange how sometime in the late 1990's the artists names and song titles are spelled like an illiterate did them

This is a great song ...listen to the wee lassie sing her heart out

Wow, what a coincidence. I was just listening to Tal last night accompanying Jeff Beck. What a package! Cute, and plays the crap out of the bass (as an amateur bassist, I will attest to that!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC02w...eature=related

I know some won't admit to liking this guy. But play this song in a bar full of drunks and watch all the fun....

Chuck, you're SO right ! Jackson Browne was seminal in the seventies, along with Glen Fry, J.D. Souther, Linda Rondstadt et. al. in what was then, and still is, some of the best musical product ever. Jackson was a customer at the Hi Fi store I was working in during my "Hollywood Days" & flipped backstage passes for Him & the Eagles to us rock star wannabees*. That tune hit home- I was THERE at the Universal Ampitheatre in Hollywood when he closed his "Running on Empty" tour with "Stay"- the crowd was on it's feet, lighters in hand & went wild when Lindley did his falsetto bit. OMG !

Chuck, that is a great performance.......Tony you look like I did back in those days!!!

In "Stay", Browne humbly displays a beautiful, genuine connection with the audience/fans : " People You have the power over what we do, You can sit there and wait, or You can Pull Us Through (So People Stay!)". Gotta' love it

No idea, but the flowers and lights are awesome.

Looks like an in-put recording monitor, and an equalizer.

Nope, just Nike running pants. They were my "deal closers" (as long as I rembered the potato goes in the FRONT)
