Day Six: Favorite Song

Day Six: Favorite Song

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like food yesterday, there are so many choices for a favorite song. Let's see...

Dolly Parton has written and performed many I like, Coat of Many Colors one of them.



I love the message that the song imparts, in such a beautiful and simple way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John Mellencamp also has his fair share of great music, Cherry Bomb being my favorite of his:



Just a great song, an ode to simpler times, I suppose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time is classic, and brings me back to the 80s every time I hear it.



Great song sung by an awesome talent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't You (Forget About Me) is, to me, the quintessential 80s song.



It might have a lot to do with be so closely associated with The Breakfast Club, but with or without the film, it is an 80s classic that never gets old.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I will have to go with Unforgettable, the version made into a duet by Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie.



A beautiful song, without doubt. Two amazing voices spanning time to meld just perfectly on a classic.

My wife and I also chose this song to be "Our Song", and we couldn't have picked a better one. That's why Unforgettable is my Favorite Song.

  1. I got to see Dolly live in the mid '70's. She was so beautiful and gracious. She gladly stood on the edge of the stage and signed every autograph that we idiots asked of her.

  4. The Lauper and the Simple Minds get kudos. Right now my favorite song is "King of the World" by Bob Schneider.
