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.)

Maurice White

Hope it’s not a bad sign that two of the seven Lifetime Achievement Award winners to be recognized at the Grammies later this month are Jefferson Airplane and Earth, Wind and Fire. (Also a little eerie – EW&F is right next to The Eagles on my CD shelf.)
 
I hadn’t realized that the band was formed in Chicago, a city which is woefully underrated for its contributions to soul music.
 
Favorite songs:
September
Let’s Groove
That’s The Way Of The World
Shining Star
Boogie Wonderland
