Your 3 Favorite Songs


We all have a ton of tunes that we love:
Ones that bring back memories, ones we melodically love and ones that are personally touching to us...

I have given this some serious thought and I am surprised by the 3 I've settled on:

The Little Drummer Boy (the traditional version by the Harry Simeon Coral)

Beautiful (by Carole King)

In Your Eyes (by Peter Gabriel)

Please give this some thought - and share yours...

Great songs slaw. I always forget how good a song "Monday Monday" is, until I hear it playing. By the way, I met Carole in the late 90's, and she was absolutely wonderful, as beautiful inside as she is outside.

"God Only Knows", written by Brian Wilson (music) and Tony Asher (lyrics), performed by The Beach Boys, vocals by Carl Wilson.

"What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted", written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean, performed by Jimmy Ruffin. Joan Osborne has also recorded a great version.

"The Weight", written by J.R. Robertson, performed by, of course, The Band.

"No Time To Cry", written and performed by Iris Dement. An incredible song also recorded by Merle Haggard, Kasey Chambers, and Joe Nichols. Iris’ version remains the best.

No Lennon & McCartney songs? They imo were a good writing team (not so good without each other), not a great one. Some disagree with that assessment ;-) .
