As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

#175 Peace Of Mind – The Magnificent Men (1965)

Had to give some love to the first hit (local at least) for the pride of Harrisburg PA, a blue-eyed soul aggregation that included their own band and wrote much of their own material, including this single. While largely unknown, they made quite an impression on many who heard them (see links below). And, like the Spaniels, they did a great version of “Stormy Weather”.
