Karen Carpenter (March 2, 1950 - February 4, 1983)

Gone too soon, the other half of brother-sister duo, The Carpenters. I like this song.

The Jarmels - the Way you Look Tonight - 1961

REWIND 2003 Guy Sebastian Australian Idol Grand Winner

Things may have turned out a lot different had his parents not leave for Australia.

Pete Seeger (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014)

The legendary folk singer/songwriter died peacefully in his sleep aged 94. Among the songs he wrote/co-written were "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" and my favorite, "Turn, Turn, Turn!" Here he is at age 93. RIP Pete!


The Jarmels - "The Way You Look Tonight"

Another Doo Wop number. I love their version of this Fred Astaire classic. The group was more known for their hit song A Little Bit of Soap (#12 in 1961) but for me this is the best.

David Gates - What's This I Hear - Fantastic Early 60's Doo Wop Ballad

David Gates of Bread fame sang this Doo Wop number back in the 60s. Doo Wop has always been my love.

Alphaville - Forever Young (Official Video)

One of my all time faves - Forever Young. I find it odd that the song didn't even make the US Top 40. However it has become a pop culture standard. It has been performed by numerous musical groups and appeared in television series, movies, and advertisements.
