  3. 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 !!

  4. 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.

  5. I think I'm getting too old for this. I can only see 6 songs I'll definitely vote for so far. Let's hope we get some more good nominations (not that the ones we have already aren't - it's just that I don't know a lot of them).

    Also, in the spirit of the Top Ten, please note that if you nominate you are expected to vote too ! We've had a couple of people drop in with nominations, and even though I PT'd them they didn't bother voting.

    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.

  6. 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

  8. We have also "Bad Moon Rising" in the Halloween Top Ten. :) I like this list, as usual. I´m surprised some of you gave points to Lou Christie, I thought I was the only one who´d do it... :cool:

    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.
