Great song. I have the original, but Al Jarreau's cover is better IMO.

What a lovely Bang & Olufson table.

I don't mind at all if folks post tracks from the 70s as well. The Raspberries and Badfinger tunes definitely capture the spirit of the oldie- sunny, upbeat, high spirited. Great tunes!

My family just returned from vacation. Twelve hour drive each way, with two vehicles, one a rental.
My wife drove the rental, which has satellite radio. Last night she told me that the kids preferred the 60s station most of the time. It made me a proud papa...

As is the 1967 version by The Rascals.

Another fun tune back in the day:

Heh. Angel Baby was used extensively in The Fourth Tower of Inverness, a radio serial broadcast in the early 70s. The basic story took place at an old mansion that had three towers. A fourth tower appeared to a select few. It's appearance was always accompanied by the playing of Angel Baby, which seemed to be coming from the phantom tower, where other dimensions existed. A very cool story with lots of sound effects and hippie mysticism.

I love Rosie and the Originals' version of Angel Baby. I also like John Lennon's, but not quite as much.

In my 15 years of mobile DJing, there has never been a ballad that packs the dance floor as well as Unchained Melody. Here is a surprisingly good performance from Shindig.

Every person has his own choice of music. Generally youngsters have to like rocking music. Old misc is really slow and heart touch. We know that people say always Old is Gold.

Another awesome tune, and a long-time favorite of mine.

A little before r n' r really started, but one I still enjoy: Big Mama Thornton, Hound Dog
