It's Monday and it's time for music.

Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers?

The Music Moves Me bloggers blog about music each Sunday or Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please!)   Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and yours truly.

For the month of September, our guest host is Sandee from Comedy Plus.  For today, the last summer of 2023 Music Moves Me, Sandee asks us to blog about Movie Songs.

I want to go back to my childhood for the first few songs.

Edelweiss is a song from The Sound of Music that enough people have thought it was an Austrian folk song, or even the Austrian national anthem.  I can't listen to it without tears. I am including it although, technically, it came from the 1959 stage play of the same name.  In the movie it was sung by Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews.

When I found this clip of four great grandchildren of the Von Trapps (who were an actual family that settled in Vermont after the war) singing Edelweiss, I had to include it as a bonus.

Moon River is a song from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, released in October of 1961.  This is the original, sung by Audrey Hepburn.  This songhas been covered countless times, perhaps most famously by Andy Williams.

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers is from the movie Unchained - I never realized this was a movie song even before the movie Ghost.

Some great theme music has come out of the James Bond series of movies.  Here are a couple of favorites.   First, from 1973, Paul McCartney and Wings sing  Live and Let Die.

Duran Duran - A View to a Kill, from 1985.

And more recently, from the 2014 movie Selma, the stirring song Glory, sung by John Legend and rapped by Common.

One more if you have time - from 1985's The Breakfast Club, Simple Minds and their hit Don't You Forget About Me.

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next Monday for another episode of Music Moves Me.
