Lucky Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 This Masquarade - George Benson The only song to ever hold number one chart positions in the Billboard Top 40 Pop, R&B and Jazz charts - simultaneously. This is also a nod to this masterpiece's writer, who will probably never make our top ten with his voice, the extremely well-respected Leon Russell. Ron!! I cannot believe, outright plagerism from you of all people! Stealing my song away... (See the jeopardy game thread) I guess as long as it's there, you've got my vote! I've scrambled for a new one...

CanAm Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Chain Of Fools - Aretha Franklin Over The Rainbow - Judy Garland. I've wanted to nominate this song for some time, but I thought it might be ruled ineligible because of its age. When Jenny brilliantly nominated Unforgettable during the last round, I decided that Over The Rainbow should pass muster. This song never fails to bring a tear to my eye and if ever anybody "owned" a song, it is Judy and this marvelous tune. I can't imagine anybody else doing it justice.

Brad_M Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 This Masquarade - George Benson The only song to ever hold number one chart positions in the Billboard Top 40 Pop, R&B and Jazz charts - simultaneously. This is also a nod to this masterpiece's writer, who will probably never make our top ten with his voice, the extremely well-respected Leon Russell. S2V, The song "This Masquerade" didn't achieve that honor. It wasn't a #1 hit. It did peak at #10 on the Billboard Pop Charts, though, which is still very good. It was George Benson's album Breezin'(from which that song is from) that accomplished the feat that you mention above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Oh man. It's going to be impossible this time around. Ron, This Masquerade is awesome. Frank Sinatra once said of Benson's performance something to the effect that it is the best sung song he'd ever heard. April, Tower of Power's So Very hard To Go just knocks my socks off. Then there's Black Water, Can't You See, Mama Cass....oy! Eddie Holman, The Beau Brummels....anyway, you people are making this mui difficult. BluesBoy...Guaraldi's Cast Your Fate To The Wind was my introduction to his music. I have a great collection of his music. He died way too young. Love that song. As for my 2 nominations I'm going with: 1-Eli's Coming - Three Dog Night (this one didn't make it before but I feel it deserves another shot. It's for you, the sweet, departed Laura Nyro. 2-Sexy Ways - The Four Tops (Most of you have probably never heard this song but you should. The man (Levi Stubbs) tells exactly what he misses about his lost love). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
