I'm interested in hearing some new/old classics. Please make a list of some of your favorite oldies. I'm hoping to rediscover songs I've completely forgotten about.

Total gay moment but I don't care

I drag this out on only the grayest of gloomiest days, say a cold Ohio winter day, I will play this. It's just fitting for those times.

I've never heard Everytime I Look at You before. I played it on youtube and it was totally unfamiliar. I don't know Warm Ride either and could not locate it on youtube to verify. Other than the Stevie Wonder songs, none of these songs are a lost oldie to me.

All I can think of at 02:20. Will probably post more at some point.

I've never heard a lot of these songs. But I did listen to all the unfamiliar ones. None of it interests me except Sally Go Round The Roses, which is not a favorite but the best of what I've never heard.

I found one!!!
Rock Your Baby: George McRae
This isn't really a forgotten oldie but it's one of the great songs from the past I didn't have in my collection, and I thank you Dave for reminding me.

So far Dave's list is the closest to what I am looking for. To be more specific, I'm looking for songs that were singles, not obscure album tracks.

vivfox · #11 07-30-2011, 01:08 PM

On my own I discovered this lost, great oldie. I LOVE this song!!!
