Bridge Over Troubled Water  performed by Simon and Garfunkel  1970
Composed by Paul Simon

What a beautiful song from one of the most influential duos of the 1960's. Paul Simon has written some of the best songs of this past century and this is among his finest. The moving orchestration featuring piano, violins, and the booming kettle drums convey the emotions of this song in a way that transcends time. It is still as moving as it was 32 years ago at the time it was released!

from Bridge Over Troubled Water (Columbia JC 9914), available on CD (Columbia)


So Far Away  performed by Carole King  1971
Composed by Carole King

Taken from the little album that came out of nowhere and brought Ms. King the recognition that she deserved, this is my favorite track. The simple setting and instrumental arrangement provide an intimate setting that allows the words to sweep over you. My friend's mother wore out two copies of this LP before the age of CD arrived. James Taylor plays acoustic guitar on this track as well as several others and went on to record his own version of "you've got a friend" which also appears on this classic album.

from Tapestry (Ode/Epic PE 34946), available on CD (Ode/Epic)


Make Your Own Kind Of Music  performed by Cass Elliot (a.k.a. Mama Cass)  1969
Composed by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil

A true anthem to self-love. Cass' beautiful voice proudly affirms that you have to be yourself and not worry about what anyone else thinks. She deserved more appreciation than she got during her short life and this song strikes me as quite autobiographical.

from Make Your Own Kind Of Music (Dunhill 50071)
available on CD - Dream A Little Dream: the Cass Elliot Collection (MCAD 11523)



  29 Oct 02 ·delicado: yeah, I love this track. She sings in a very sincere and rousing way.
  12 Jul 03 ·JangleBabe: If my childhood memories serve, this was the theme song of Cass's short-lived variety show back in the '70s.
Dream A Little Dream Of Me  performed by Cass Elliot (a.k.a. Mama Cass)  1968
Composed by Schwant-Andre-Kahn

Does anyone NOT like this song?!! A great nostalgic feel and that glorious voice... A perfect moment in music history!

from Dream A Little Dream (Dunhill DS 50040)
available on CD - Dream A Little Dream: the Cass Elliot Collection (MCAD 11523)



  03 Mar 04 ·inbloom44: *sighs* How I adore Mama Cass.
One Mint Julep  performed by Ray Charles  1960
Composed by Rudolph Toombs

While he is known as a great singer, Ray Charles is also a master at the keyboards and this is an excellent example of his ability. The usual jazz trio is joined by an impressive horn section that really brings the house down!! You can't sit still while listening to this song! God bless Ray Charles!!

from Genius+Soul=Jazz (Impulse! #2)
available on CD - Ray Charles: Genius and Soul (Box Set) (Rhino R2/R4 72859)
