One of my favourite songs from the 80's. Came on while I was driving home today - and the car radio says who/what is playing - all of which is to say that until today I didn't realize that Ronnie Spector sang the chorus.

In other news Ronnie Spector died last month.

Yesterday, I clicked on George Thorogood One Bourbom, One Scotch and One Beer. Decided to see where it came from. First recording is apparently Amos Milburn. Listened to that and some other things by Milburn (jazzy blues or bluesy jazz piano). Led to Arthur Crudup then Blind Blake doing a song called Police Dog Blues and into modern times with Jorma Kaukonen doing Police Dog Blues. I got Blind Blake from the Reacher TV shows. The show ain't so good, but its a door to some good blues music that doesn't involve the "usual suspects" in blues.

Well, this was the very last thing I listened to.



And this is what I listened to just before that.

No one can match Izzy singing "Over The Rainbow"! So talented and so loved by all who knew him. Very sad when he passed. :(
 
That was weird Yakko, but it lead me to this.
 
Right now, "The Celtic Women", Irish to be sure! Love the dancing too! Beautiful singing! :love:
Also very pretty to look at, grin. :encouragement:
