LC Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 On my list, I forgot to include EC's "I Can Remember" PLUS another pair of Beach Boys ballads (from Pet Sounds) that did wonders for my li'l daughters when they cried as infants: * "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)" * "You Still Believe in Me" Something about BW's voice on those songs is very soothing to fussing babies, in my experience... Also, Kazumi, I hate to admit it here, but... I've never heard "Cindy in the Wind." From descriptions elsewhere on the site, it sounds killer, because I love "Walk Away Renee" (especially EC's version, for the honesty in his vocal). When did EC do it, and how have people been finding copies of it?--LC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 LC, Bernie has posted "Cindy in the Wind" on EC.com in the past. He may again in the future. It's a big hit with most people who have gotten to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Gracias. I'll keep my eyes open for it.... It sounds intriguing, just from the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 kd lang-Orbison's "Crying"."Since I Fell For You"-Lenny Welch."Brooklyn Roads"-Neil Diamond."Love and Mercy'-Brian Wilson.-I'll never forget hearing those first notes come out of the mouth of that "Sleeping Giant".When I first popped that "TAPE" into my car and heard Brian emerge from a virtual coma to open his long rumored solo album with this plaintive yet extremely "hooky" cry for understanding for himself and for the world I broke down.-Ira.

SugarBabi7 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Billy,Didn't he also record some of his first songs at the old Sun Records place that Elvis recorded at? I think he's from Memphis isn't he? I always have a box of kleenix at the ready when I listen to him or Bobby Goldsboro. Those two can tear your heart out and leave it bleeding on the floor.Sugar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ira Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Does anyone remember Dickey Lee's tribute to "Runaround Sue" a song called "I Saw Linda Yesterday"? Also "Laurie" a Twilight Zone" type song about a girl who returns from the dead on her birthday.-Ira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmichel Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 the thing about Dickey Lee...all through his career...he kept coming back to the same theme...death...even in the twilight of his hitmaking career he was still mining that vein successfully...two of his hits from the mid 70's continued his string of love songs and death...ROCKY and ANGELS, ROSES AND RAIN...after playing them, i later found PATCHES...recorded years earlier...with the same tragic theme.

BeatleJay Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Any song that Joe Cocker sings is bound to make me cry!Actually, "Everything I Own" by Bread was the first one I thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trindy Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Darlene, a little off topic, but...if you think Sergei Grinkov's tribute show was a tearjerker, you should have seen the first Stars on Ice show the cast had to perform without him--the season premiere. I went up to Placid just for that show...somehow I felt I should be there.Normally, you go to an ice show, you see smiling skaters ready to perform for you. That day, I saw skaters standing there hand in hand, tears in their eyes, in the very first number. The music of the opening number hadn't been edited to remove the parts where he and Katia would have skated--they had left it as it was, and just kept that, with a spotlight on the ic while everyone stood still. And then at the point where they would have skated their solo, the music was played that they would have skated to. Scott Hamilton said "Close your eyes and imagine them skating." Damn. (I recall it as part of the Grieg Piano Concerto in A.)Then, at the end of the show that season, there was a finale set to Beatles music--group and solo. Again, their music had been left in it. And when it played, I just about lost it yet. What were they going to skate to? McCartney. "And when I go away/I know my heart can stay with my love..."Nobody planned on THAT song being so prophetic.

Tony Cartmill Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 "Hymn To The Fallen" by John Williams from "Saving Private Ryan" because it's so hauntingly beautiful. And when I think of what it's about, all those young soldiers whose lives' ended in an instant of mortar and gunfire, when they still had 40-60 years ahead of them, wives, young kids at home...It makes me verklempt...

darlene Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Trindy, What a heartrending ice show... I would have lost it too. I adored G&G, and I still can't believe he's gone. I wish I hadn't missed that show. You described it so beautifully. I'm glad you got to go. It sounds like they all put every bit of love for him into it. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 bahoodore-You did good."You Don't Know Me"-the ultimate I'm a friend and I'd like to be more song."I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"-did you ever hear B.J. Thomas version of what I'm pretty sure is originally a Hank Williams Song -and when you think of the pain he was in-this song can rip your heart out.In my humble opinion you did real good.-Ira.
