As a kid growing up in the 1950's, I used to listen to night baseball games on the radio in bed while falling asleep. I heard this Hamms Beer commercial so many times then, that now in my 70's, I can sing it by heart with my little Indian drum that I have. Yeah!, ha! ha! faded memories that may...

Roy was an opera singer kidnapped by rock&roll. Anyone who has lived in west -texas where he grew up can imagine him developing his voice, trying to out-howl the coyotes crying at the moon.

I heard Billy Eckstein in a club in San Diego. It was a fantastic experience! The deep, deep powerful, vibrato of his voice shook the room and everybody felt it to their bones. His songs, I Apologise, and A Cottage for Sale, were the anthems for failed romances, his Over the Rainbow, is the be...

If ever a song and a singer were made for each other, this is it!! Tremenda cancion, tremendo cantista. Daniel Santos's singing style is so dramatically unique, that almost any song he sings , is immediately captured for his own legend. Un stilo canstista, que separa Daniel Santos de todos, ant...

The San Francisco experience of the 60s, has always been a never- forgotten memory for those who went, and a wish-i-had agony, for those who didn't. My advise to young folks , when the time comes, answer the call!!, don't wait for a Scott McKenzie to call you. Or, older folks, a Tony Bennett to...

this song started a new westward migration. many longhairs with backpacks crowded the Greyhound Bus station, on the interstates thumbs were pointed west, girls were going OUT through bathroom windows, guys were chucking business suits for knee-torn levis, and running out the door. it wasn't gol...

back in 64' when me and my yahoo buddies heard this song in a roadhouse bar, we hollered about it and played it over and over again. it was a favorite of all the redneck girls. we wondered who the new country girl singer was. then we learned she was a folk singer and Canadian. we were stunned....

Procol Harum came on the scene after the Beatles had already made their splash in the U.S., and had also come out with two albums with under-the-influence lyrics in their songs. The Beatles wanted to keep up with the psychedelic bands, and Procol Harum wanted to keep up with all of them. This...

What do the words mean? Who knows? Who cares?, the song works!! The Beatles started it all with their album, Rubber Soul, with off- the- wall lyrics, designed to keep themselves up to date with the psychedelic California bands like The Dead and Janis Joplin. Procol Harum came up with a son...

Marx Brothers fans were stunningly surprised when Doris Eaton sang this song in the movie. After viewing the high jinks and laughing at the jokes, this beautiful song comes in and completely mesmerizes everyone, with Doris Eaton and the song that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
