Christine O'Donnell sure looks like Ronstadt.
ReplyDelete68: Hey Jude (Beatles), Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkle), Hello, I Love You (Doors)
ReplyDeleteBecause it's recently come up on my shuffle rotation more than once, I'm going with Ronstadt's Different Drum. Though you have plenty of other fine choices there, Bruce. Stoned Soul Picnic. I've got the 5th Dimension and Swing Out Sister's nearly note-for-note remake.
ReplyDelete(I also have two other Ronstadt songs - Tumbling Dice and Poor Pitiful me - both of which would be great remakes for Carrie Underwood.)
68: Hey Jude (Beatles), Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkle), Hello, I Love You (Doors)
ReplyDeleteVery good picks LL!
Then: Magic Carpet Ride, Mrs. Robinson, Going Up The Country, Hello (I Love You) and Hey Jude were all favs. Hated: Crimson & Clover.
ReplyDeleteBetween now & then: Different Drum & Sympathy For the Devil
I'd pick "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" by James Brown. I gave 1968 a B-.
ReplyDeleteI'd pick "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" by James Brown. That is pretty 1968. Mexico City and all.
