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.)

#181 Since I Fell for You – Lenny Welch (1963)

Lenny Welch, to the extent that he’s remembered at all, was primarily known as a ballad singer; he had his one big hit with this unexpectedly soulful version of a big-band standard from the 1940s. I don’t know where he got the idea to revive it, but we can certainly be glad that he did.
