After 60 years, there are so many songs that make me happy. I love being this age because I've been through so many different "eras." I have tons of good memories associated with so many types of music.

My favorite song as a kid in the back seat of my parents' car was something called
"Put Another Nickel In" by Theresa Brewer. It had a beat and this was pre rock and roll.


I think my two favorite songs though are "Summertime" and "Amazing Grace."

Welcome to 4WT Rhonda! I was away when you joined in.

That was a beautiful version. How about this one by Elvis:

Here's a version by Leann Rimes that could break your heart with its beauty

http://youtube.com/watch?v=iT88jBAoVIM&feature=related

Here's "Summertime" by a few different people:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1yKgAEkCKxY (Ella Fitzgerald)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mzNEgcqWDG4&feature=related (Janis Joplin - I saw her do this at the Filmore East - Amazing!)

I better stop - there are just too many versions of both of these songs!

Just one more - "Danny Boy," also by Elvis

YES!!! I can't believe you found that. Thank you so much Janet. I never saw the visual act. That looked like Jimmy Durante playing the piano. Do you think it's possible? I read the reviews and the young man is Gower Champion. Wasn't it Marge and Gower Champion that was a wonderful dance team?

There was tremendous talent back then!
