The first album I can remember buying myself was "Meet The Temptations".

Well, Nutty...I don't know your age. But....you can never go wrong by including Steely Dan's, "Aja", Boz Scaggs', "Silk Degrees", or The Moody Blues', "Days Of Future Past".

:doh:Now I remember....it's "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie (On The King Of Rock And Roll )by Long John Baldry. Plus, I found Ralph McTell's "Streets Of London on Kazaa. Thanks Diggs...for your replies.

The Teen Queens', "Eddie My Love". Patience and Prudence.."Tonight, You Belong To Me" and/or "Gonna Get Along Without You Now". The Caravelle's.."You Don't Have To Be A Baby To Cry". Some of the Everly Bros. tunes transfer quite well to girl duets, such as "Devoted To You".

Let's not overlook Long John Baldry's "Boogie Woogie" (Boodgy Woodgy). This song has a distinct air of a London Magistrates's Court and surrounding downtown streets. Diggs, correct me if I'm wrong on the title.

As for Roxy Music....Avalon!

Thank you Diggs. Right on the money!! His version has a great "story-teller" sound. Here are the lyrics: Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market Kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride, hands held loosely by his side Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news So how can you tell me, you're lonely And say for you the sun won't shine? Let me take you by the hand, And lead you through the streets of london I'll show you something, to make you change your mind Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of london Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking Carrying her home, in two carrier bags So how can you tell me, you're lonely

There was a great song in the 70's called "The Streets of London". Sorry, try as I may I cannot remember the name of the artist. He was an Englishman, for sure. It's a very descriptive song as I recall. Darn, wish I could remember his name.

"Calling All Angels" by Jane Siberry and kd lang from the movie, "Pay It Forward". Maybe because it's played at the candle-light vigil for the slain boy at the end of the movie. Very touching and prayerful sounding song. Lovely harmony, too.

Mozart....the father of modern music and the King of Rock'N Roll! I'm listening to his piano concerto #3 now.

The Spector Christmas CD is my favorite.

...and who can't use un petit mort now and then? Ok, ok....sorry. I'm such a pig!

I concur with Melody...the perfect song for you.

Angela, there's a wonderful new song by Five For Fighting that's absolutely perfect for your needs. It's called "100 Years". Give it a listen. Brought tears to my eyes. It takes him from 15 thru 100....very fitting and true.

Love her stuff. She was so versatile...blues, pop, country...whatever. Made it sound like her own. Hers was such a sad story.

Can this have anything to do with it?....For years one metaphor for a girl losing/giving up her virginity has been death/dieing...as in Billy Joel's, "Only The Good Die Young". Or, am I totally off-base here? You'll have to forgive me. It's been so long since I've lit a candle for anyone. LOL!

OK...now don't laugh. I always liked the base line in Crazy Elephant's, "Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin'".

I agree...sad songs give us the opportunity to feel a sense of grief without having to suffer real loss. Why does that appeal to us? Perhaps we're staving off real grief, ie: real loss? Perhaps it's just a way of exercising one of our emotions that we luckily don't get to use very often.

Sinatra's, "High Hopes"...most kids love to sing along with this one, too. "We Can Make It If We Try"...Sly and the Family Stone.
