Timeless
song, great vocals by the incomparable Ray Charles, excellent arrangement –
what more could you ask for? Note that this is the only song on the list that’s
an official song for any of the states.
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.)

#24 It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday -- Boyz II Men (1991)
This one
is one of the best – and most successful – a cappella songs of all time. It
never fails to bring a lump to my throat.
