It's Monday and it's time for music!
Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers?
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, our theme is:You Pick. Sadly, it's time for another induction into Rock and Roll Heaven.
William Endfield Steinberg, who wrote or co-wrote the lyrics to some of the biggest hits of the 1980s, died February 16 from cancer. He was 75.Here are some of those songs:
Like a Virgin - Madonna, from 1984.
A beautiful song from Cyndi Lauper -True Colors, from 1986. I do love the 80's.
One of my favorite Heart songs. I chose a live version of Alone, a song released in 1987.
I Drove All Night has been sung by many artists. I chose the cover by Roy Orbison. This was actually recorded (1987) before Cyndi Lauper's original, but wasn't released (1992) until after her recording was released.
Last but not least, one could call this song off color, but, well, this was a hit for the Divinyls and it's tame compared to some hits that have come after. Here, from 1990, is I Touch Myself.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
