Boy Bands is the prompt for Song Lyric Sunday this week. I think the term “Boy Bands” came about in the 80s. Prior to that I don’t recall ever hearing it before. The obvious ones that came to mind were New Kids on the Block, NSYNC, Take That and the Backstreet Boys. I have toContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Boyz II Men”

Song Lyric Sunday – Reggae Music
Well this should be easy for Song Lyric Sunday participants because it’s Reggae Week! I was torn as to what to share today because one of my favorite songs by Bob Marley and the Wailers is ‘Redemption Song’. It was his last recording before his death in 1981. However, as it is Reggae week, IContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Reggae Music”
Song Lyric Sunday – Funk
As we continue to explore different genres of music, we have this week arrived at Funk. In my opinion Motown, Soul and Funk are connected and if you like one, then you like them all. According to Wiki, Funk is a music genre that originated in Black American communities in the mid-1960s when musicians created a rhythmic, danceable new form of music throughContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Funk”
Song Lyric Sunday – Soul Music
I was happy to see Soul Music for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday prompt. Soul Music and Motown are what I grew up with and I knew immediately I wanted to pick two songs. Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett and Shotgun by Junior Walker and the All Stars. Both are great songs and feature aContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Soul Music”

I was excited to see this week’s music genre for Song Lyric Sunday. Jim Adams, our host, has asked for Bluegrass. I have chosen the song, Annabel Lee, by an artist I have come to really like. Sarah Jarosz, an American folk and bluegrass singer. She was inspired by the poem called ‘Annabel Lee’ byContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Bluegrass – Annabel Lee”
Song Lyric Sunday – Surfin’ USA
I finally get to choose a Beach Boys song for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday. Our host, Jim Adams, has given us Surfer Rock as a theme. I picked Surfin’ USA as my main choice and threw in Fun, Fun, Fun as I liked it too. I actually prefer some of their slow stuff likeContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Surfin’ USA”
Song Lyric Sunday – Green River – Swamp Rock
I was so happy that Jim Adams picked Swamp Rock for the week’s Song Lyric Sunday. It gives me a chance to share a song by probably my most favorite band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and you can’t get a swampier song than Green River. Although CCR’s music gives the impression they are from the Bayou,Continue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Green River – Swamp Rock”
Song Lyric Sunday – Bubblegum Pop
This week’s music prompt for Song Lyric Sunday is Bubblegum Pop which is very similar to last week’s Sunshine Pop. Both genres go back to the late 60s so I have come up with Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes by Edison Lighthouse. An English pop band, formed in London in 1969. The band was best known for thisContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Bubblegum Pop”

Song Lyric Sunday – Yacht Rock
Welcome to another Song Lyric Sunday. Our prompt for this week is Yacht Rock, suggested by John Holton from the blog The Sound of One Hand Typing. I suppose Yacht Rock is a ritzier name for Soft Rock and it’s a genre with plenty of easy listening to choose from. I have picked a BozContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Yacht Rock”
