This 1950's song has very simple lyrics and a haunting melody.

   Never was a 'cult follower' of Blue Oyster Cult. Not being much into their "dark"  hard rock then or now. But June 1979, 6th studio album Mirrors, with new producers and theme, while a major change from dark hard rock to more 'palatable' chart topping type music for the time, shocked BOC hard followers. IMO, it was their best album ever, with most tracks off of Mirrors potential top 40 if radio stations were to understand the album, which they didn't. June 1979 running around Langley in my 428 CJ Torino GT, winning most races Friday night at Latimer Rd. strip after 12am, shredding a set of Goodyear's every 3 weeks, this album is etched in my memory.

I was right into this band back in the 70's.  Their music seemed a cut above normal rock and roll.

This isn't a rock and roll song.  But it's always inspired me.  I have it on a list of songs to play at my earthly farewell.

Here is a song from the early 80's, done in the style of the day.  Good style too!

This song is by a duet from the 60's and is about pop music.  Suddenly our high school was full of guys with jackets imitating one of the singers...until they were banned.

This group had a few hits in the '80's.  I like this one best.

This song was popular when I was 16 yrs old.  I played HS football and we all sang this as we did our warmup laps.

This is George Benson's "On Broadway" with a twist.
