Unforgettable #MusicMovesMe

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!  We are brought to you by Cathy of Curious as a Cathy, Stacy of Stacy's Random Thoughts, Marie (Xmas Dolly), and myself, plus other music loving bloggers.  

Why not join us?  Our theme this week is "You Pick" and I'm going to pick several songs that I heard recently, and a couple I didn't.  No, you don't have to guess which is which.

Elton John and his 1975 hit Philadelphia Freedom, written in honor of tennis great Billie Jean King. 


Unforgettable, from Nat King and Natalie Cole, was a duet made possible by the technology of 1991.  Here, Natalie Cole sings her late father's 1961 hit as a duet with her late father, who died from cancer in 1965.  Natalie was just 15 years old.  Who can listen to this without a tissue or a tear?


Let's lighten it up with Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi, from 1986, their breakout hit.  And what a hit it was.  This is one of my favorite songs.

Shake it Off - Taylor Swift 


I'll end this with 1970's So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright, a song written by Paul Simon and sung by Simon and Garfunkel. The song was written as a tribute to Art Garfunkel, who studied architecture in his youth.  I love every song on this album (which I owned on vinyl) but this one has a special spot in my heart.

And that's a wrap!  Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me. 

And, if you like flowers, join me again later today for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.

  3. Once again, there are lots of memories on this list. Nat King Cole is one of my all-time favorite singers. I grew up listening to that voice and "Unforgettable" is quite possibly my favorite song of his. His daughter's later "duet" with him was a nice tribute. And I still own the vinyl of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album. I almost wore the grooves out listening to it back in the day.
