Song #54: "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles

I can't believe it's been a year since the historic Nashville, TN flood.  I chose "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles because I saw this youtube video last year & it was one of the best slideshows I saw about the flood.  God bless all those who's homes & lives were affected by the flood.  God bless the people of Nashville for being the amazing helpers to our neighbors.  I'm so proud to call this city home!

Song #53: "One For My Baby & One More For The Road" by Frank Sinatra

"One For My Baby & One More For The Road" by 'ole blue eyes' is just such a great classic standard.  I only learned today that Johnny Mercer co-wrote it.  He's becoming one of my fav songwriters.

Song #52: "Mr. Bojangles" by Robbie Williams

I love the song "Mr Bojangles."  There's tons of versions out there & most of them are amazing.  I do love the version from the musical Fosse with Ben Vereen dancing the Bo Jangles part.  But, tonight I'm choosing the Robbie Williams version.  First off Robbie Williams is such an over looked/underestimated pop star.  He did an album of standards that is simply amazing!  If you can, check it out, you won't be disappointed if you like that style of music.  Anyway, here it is.  Hope you love it too!

I went ahead & put the Ben Vereen version on here too.... I mean, why not! :)

Song #51: "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohen

Today I heard a great brand new song about Memphis, which made me think of another great song about Memphis, "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohen.  I have ALWAYS loved this song (except the Lonestar cover of it).  Growing up, I traveled to Memphis quite a bit, so I will always have a special place in my heart for this town.  I think that this song & video both are a great tribute to it.  Aaahh...memories.

Song #50: "My Blue Heaven" by Norah Jones

There's a tribute album to Fats Domino that came out a few years ago.  Norah Jones covered "My Blue Heaven."  I just love her version of that song.  The rest of the record ain't half bad either.  Check it out! PS. I have no idea what this video really is.  Looks like a slide show that someone put together with the song in the background.

Song #49: "So In Love" written by Cole Porter

I don't care who sings "So In Love," as long as it is pointed out that it is written by the magnificent Cole Porter.  If you've not seen the movie about his live, 'DeLovely,' I highly recommend it.  Kevin Cline plays Cole in such an honorable way.  I started to love this song because of that movie.  Hope you check it out!

Song #48: "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin

Yesterday my friend was going to the symphony which got me thinking of who I'd like to go hear played at the symphony.  Well my favorite piece is "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin, so it's my song of the day.  I've always love the great songbook composers like George Gershwin, Cole Porter & Irving Berlin, but Gershwin has always been my favorite.  This song reminds me of the feeling of being in New York City.  It's just a beautiful piece.  Hope you enjoy it too...happy Saturday!
