It's Monday. It's time for another Music Moves Me post and, alas, time for another induction into Rock and Roll Heaven.
My apologies to some of the Music Moves Me posters I got to late or not at all. My main excuse is that the charging port on my old laptop gave up so I couldn't use it plugged in or charge the battery. My son was finally able to come over and make a repair but it's temporary and anyway, it's too old to accept Windows 11 so....I am getting ready to buy a new laptop.
Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky above). We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.) We have occasional theme weeks, but you are welcome to ignore the theme and use music of your choice. Why not join us? You don't have to sing, or play an instrument. All music lovers are welcome.
Today's theme is "You Pick". My pick is the late Sonny Curtis, who passed away September 19 at age 88 from complications of pneumonia. He was a singer and guitarist for The Crickets, which was Buddy Holly's backing band. He was also a prolific songwriter.
Here are some of his most well known songs.
I Fought the Law - I never knew this 1960 song was originally a Crickets song. I remember both the covers by the Bobby Fuller Four (I had the 45 single) and The Clash. Rolling Stone has named this one of rock's 500 best songs.
The theme from the Mary Tyler Moore show is next. This version is the original from the first season. Oh, those 1970's theme songs, you have to love them. The Mary Tyler Moore show is still beloved by members of my generation and many younger than me.
I just had to include a cover of this song, the official name of which is Love is All Around, done by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
More Than I Can Say from 1980- Leo Sayer.
Finally, a cover from Glen Campbell of The Straight Life.
And that's a wrap!.
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
