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.)

#44 Stay Together Young Lovers -- Brenda & The Tabulations (1967)



Philadelphia’s Brenda & The Tabulations specialized in slow, aching R&B ballads that sounded as though they should have come out five or ten years earlier than they did. This one didn’t make much of an impression on the charts (a couple of their other singles did dent the top 25), but it would have been a perfect slow dance for a high school prom back in the day.
