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.)

B.B. Dickerson

Morris “B.B” Dickerson was an original member of the legendary funk/rock/soul band War, serving as vocalist (perhaps most notably on “The World Is A Ghetto”) and bassist.

 

Despite their accomplishments, War is STILL not a member of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Get with it, people!

 

Favorite tracks:

The World Is A Ghetto

 

The Cisco Kid
