Greetings pop pickers and welcome to this week’s Friday Music Shuffle. Ten songs from my collection chosen at random by my music device. Why not join in the ‘fun’ by clicking on the title and singing along? You know it makes sense!
Here we go.
- Recollection by Bobbie Gentry. Back to 1968, here’s the brilliant and beautiful Bobbie. Lovely in every way.
- Here With Me by The Killers. A rather good song, co-written by Brandon Flowers and Travis’s Fran Healy, from 2012’s Battle Born LP.
- Under African Skies by Paul Simon. 1986’s Graceland was one of many career highlights by Paul Simon, as this song well illustrates.
- For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her by Simon and Garfunkel. All the way back to 1966 and yet another gorgeous Paul Simon song from Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme.
- You And Whose Army by Radiohead. From 2001’s Amnesiac album. Essential.
- Somewhere Listening (For My Name) by John Fogerty. From the Creedence man’s 1973 album The Blue Ridge Rangers, this is a cover of the old Archie Brownlee classic.
- Nothing Even Matters by Lauryn Hill feat D’Angelo. This comes from 1998’s epic The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, one of the greatest albums of all time.
- That Could Have Been Me by Todd Rundgren feat Robyn. Great track from 2017’s White Knight which is all killer, no filler.
- I Know What I Know by Paul Simon. Well, the great man’s third song in today’s shuffle and the second from Graceland. Who’s complaining?
- The Theme From A Summer Place by Percy Faith and his Orchestra. Lauryn Hill had it in the back for my Desert Island Disc until now. All the way back to 1959.
Just to confirm that this week’s Desert Island Disc is The Theme From A Summer Place by Percy Faith and his Orchestra. Sorry, Lauryn.
That’s all, folks!
