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.)

Stop Saying Trump’s Win Had Nothing To Do With Economics


 
This is yet another article that should be of interest to those who just can’t understand how anybody could possibly have voted for DJT. (Hint: it’s less “economic hardship” and more “economic anxiety”.)

#134 It's Gonna Take A Miracle – The Royalettes (1965)


 
Since I referred to this as a must-hear in an earlier posting, I really should give this soul music classic its own entry. This was the Baltimore girl-group’s biggest “hit” (falling just short of the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100), but don’t for a minute think that it’s the only good thing they ever recorded; “Blue Summer”, for one, is also well worth a listen.
