At first I thought I wasn't going to know enough of the songs, but I wounded up having to narrow it down from around 20 that I did know.

Thank you Radhi for your grand opening. I took 6 months' Leave.

And a very big thanks to Lee who prepared all of my playlist. You're a Genius.

The List is made up of 50 songs that I originally nominated unsuccessfully for the Top Ten. I like them, of course, but they're not necessarily my personal favorites.

If nobody else nominates them in the meantime, I'll probably use the Top 10 songs that you choose as my nominations for 5 weeks. Save me thinking of some for a while, and maybe add a little bit of extra interest to the outcome.

I'll keep quiet now until you resolve my Top 10.

:)

Very nice, Darryl. I know all of these well. It looks like you're fond of Dionne... so am I. In fact, I prefer her version of "Say a Little Prayer" to Aretha's. Possibly because Dionne sings the chorus herself instead of letting her backing singers do all the work ;-)

See ya,
