Maybe another top ten for 90's only, not the next please.

Couldn't be more clear - Thanks Farin

I inadvertently miss out more than just a smile juggling work and play, but for you here goes: Gotta run now, signing off for the Middle East Weekend. Cheers!

I give up (still LOL) Take it easy Blue Fish. This is what we do while waiting on the voting and the results Welcome to the Top Ten !

Luv to see Mrs. 55's face when she reads the foregoing

Nope, sorry OLD 55 I do not know Blue Mink. You guys really do know a lot of bands and artists. I feel so sheepish. Joking or not (You are the sunshine of my life), artist apart, the song deserves a vote !

I do not know who is the original singer of "You are the sunshine of my life", nor whose version/cover I first heard. Stevie Wonder, unfortunately, is not one of my favourite artists. Having said that your nomination will surely get my vote - I just love the song. I don't think I know your other nomination. Don't be surprised; I surprise myself. I did'nt know Lou Christie until last week !!

In the previous top ten I voted for Because just because it was a Beatles song even though I had never heard the song before. I do this to favour KNOWN artists but whose songs I don't know / have never heard. I was so undecided on the votes that I messed up my top ten as Lizard so kindly pointed out. Following results of the last top ten our dear Edna sent me the MP3 of Because. Trust me OLD55, after hearing Because I regretted voting for it, even though it made the top ten! I do realise how you feel on how this affects the voting process but how can I just vote for a song/artist I know nothing about. It's even worse to nominate and then quit voting. What most of the nominators do not know is that I am at a disadvantage I do not have access to music/video sites which are blocked here at my end - company server. It will take some time before I settle down with a more permanent residence and buy a home PC again and once more be able to effectively sample new music.

I'm beginning to feel the same, wondering if I would vote for just the few I knew and 'pass' the remainder of the ten votes. Thank you Kevin. Both your nominations get my votes. The Last Farewell - A distinctive song by a distinctive artist.

I have no intentions of making this a topical top ten, but to felicitate OlD 55 I'd like to go with: 1. Happy Anniversary (Mel Tillis / Slim Whitman) Another year of love has gone by Thank you for each day you give to me My darling, happy anniversary. Is not getting older much better You bring so much happiness each day Everything you are keeps me so in love I thank to heaven that you came my way. Darling, happy anniversary Another year of love has gone by Thank you for each day you give to me My darling, happy anniversary. Let’s stop and count our many blessings 'Cause love like ours don't happen every day And year after year we'll keep remembering Our anniversary in a special way. Darling, happy anniversary Another year of love has gone by Thank you for each day you give to me My darling, happy anniversary... and 2. The Hawaiian Wedding Song (Jim Reeves / Elvis Presley) This is the moment I've waited for I can hear my heart singing Soon bells will be ringing This is the moment love sweet Aloha I will love you longer than forever Promise me that you will leave me never Here I am now dear, You're my love, I know dear Promise me that you will leave me never I will love you longer than forever Now that we are one Clouds won't hide the sun Blue skies of Hawaii will smile On this, our wedding day I do love you with all my heart

Edna, I must confess I never heard of Lou Christie before TT No.36. I could not watch the video (streaming is banned here) but from 30 second samplings I heard on cduniverse.com I think I like the artist a lot and gave him my vote too. PS: I was disappointed after hearing Because - not a very Beatle song IMO, but many thanks for sending it my way. Appreciated.
