March Musical Birthdays #MusicMovesMe

(If you are looking for my Blogging from A to Z Reveal post, I changed my mind about posting tomorrow - please click here).

It's time for another episode of my favorite thing to do on Mondays - #MusicMovesMe.

Who are the #MusicMovesMe bloggers? We are bloggers who blog about music each Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only on this music train, please!)   First, there is XmasDolly,   Her co-conductors are:  Callie of JAmerican Spice,  and ♥Stacy of Stacy Uncorked♥   Also, co-conducting  is  Cathy from Curious as a Cathy .  Last but not least, there's - (said humbly) me.

Every other week, we are asked to blog about a musical theme.  The other weeks are free weeks. 

For the month of March, we have a guest conductor - Patrick Weseman.  Today, he asks us to blog about musicians born in the month of March.

There's quite a selection of March musicians, it turns out.

Lady Gaga (March 28, 1986) has become a giant of the music world.  I am partial to "Born This Way" (warning, possible disturbing images.  The song itself starts about 3 minutes into the video.)

I remember Carrie Underwood (March 10, 1983) from her American Idol days, when it was obvious she would be a star, and she is.  I decided to go with "Smoke Break".  I nearly picked "Jesus, Take the Wheel" but I had heard this on another music blog several days ago, and immediately fell in love with it.


James Taylor (March 12, 1948) with Fire and Rain.  My favorite of his songs is The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald but I've found that people either love or detest that song. Oh well, thank you for readers who corrected me (sorry, Gordon Lightfoot!) but at least I posted a real James Taylor song!

 Diana Ross (March 26, 1944) with a live performance of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" in 1979.  Picking a song from her extensive career is nearly impossible.

Last but not least: Steven Tyler (March 26, 1948) of Aerosmith.  Hmm, which one of their many hits should I pick?
I'm picking "Dream On" from 1973 which was written by Tyler.

Hurray for March!

Join me again next week for another episode of #MusicMovesMe.

    1. Well, that was embarrassing! But you are right. Fortunately I chose a genuine James Taylor video.

  2. I never heard that Carrie Underwood song (nor did I know her American Idol link, since I don't watch it either). But, Lady Gaga, James Taylor, Diana, And Aerosmith (the latter of which I am NOT a fan), I am most familiar. Thanks for my musical Monday.

  3. This was a good theme, because so far I haven't seen that many repeats. I'll have to give my compliments to Patrick. You chose some great songs for this!

  4. Great selection! I like them all. What talents they all are! I think of Carrie and Lady Gaga as young women but they are in their 30's. The rest are in their 70's, how did that happen?

  7. I never hear James Taylor do "Edmund Fitzgerald." I always associate it with Gordon Lightfoot. Here, here for Gaga, Diana and Aerosmith. Thanks for the tunes.

  8. Alana,

    Nice March birthday picks and song choices! Diana Ross was a favorite from my childhood. My auntil and her 1st cousin would play Diana Rose and the Supremes records. I loved watching the big girls dance. They are about 10 years older than me. 'Aint No Mountain High Enough' live performance is from the year we got married. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with me, dearie. have a boogietastic week! ;)
