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.)

Jimmy Ruffin


I wanted to be sure to note the death of soul singer Jimmy Ruffin on Monday. The older brother of Temptations singer David Ruffin certainly wasn’t one of Motown’s biggest songs, but he did record “What Becomes Of The Broken-Hearted”, one of the greatest Motown singles ever.
