What Old Song Do You Just Love

[Alaska Catdog]

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer
You Don't Own Me - Leslie Gore
You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield
Sh-Boom - EggCream (I don't know if this version is old, it's from Cars)
You Are The Woman - Firefall
It Aint Me Babe - Bob Dylan
Get a Job/Stand Down Margaret - English Beat

OK I could go on and on and on but this is a good start.

 

[Tifffany]

"I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket"- Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
"Let Yourself Go"- Ginger Rogers

Feeling That Way - Journey

 

[OK!]

Everything I Own - Bread

I love, love, LOVE this song! It's one of the only ones that I will always belt out at the top of my lungs in the car, no matter what kind of mood I may have been in right before the song came on.

Some of my other old favorites are
Suspicious Minds - Elvis
Moon River - Andy Williams
Could It Be Magic - Barry Manilow
California Dreamin' - The Mamas and the Papas
I Am a Rock - Simon & Garfunkel
Cecelia - Simon & Garfunkel (another of my all-time favorites)
Lady Madonna - The Beatles

and for Christmas, I always have to hear Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, and "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano (and "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid--I was horrified this past Christmas when I realized it'd been 21 years since that record was made! )

 

[ZipaDeeDooDah]

Not too old, but Have A Little Faith In Me (Joe Cocker)

 

[koopa]

A Day in the Life - The Beatles
Send in the Clowns - Sarah Vaughan
Funeral for a Friend - Elton John

too many to list...

I've Seen All Good People - Yes
We're All Alone - Bozz Scaggs
Billy Don't Be a Hero

Que Sera, Sera - Doris Day

My mom used to sing this to me when I was little and I remember it so clearly.

You and Me Against the World - Helen Reddy

My mom called this "our song".

These are both even more meaningful to me since I lost her in an accident 4 years ago.

 

[PrincessKitty1]

In My Life (Beatles)--seeing the British Invasion play it at Epcot got me hooked! It's a beautiful love song.

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers

 

[bcvgal]

Brown Eyed Girl
At Last-Etta James verison
American Pie

 

[HOGFAN]

"At Last"

"Someone to Watch over Me"

 

[Keli]

The Way You Look Tonight
Crazy Thing Called Love

I'm totally cheating here though because both those songs are on Michael Buble's (my keyboard doesn't have an accent key, or at least I can't find it, lol) cd's which aren't old!

I also love 40's music, big band and swing.
