I heard the song "More Than Words" by Extreme on the radio the other day and was reminded of how much I love it. It's definitely going on my "rainy day" playlist. I honestly think it's one of the most beautiful ballads ever made- does that sound extreme? (no pun intended) "More Than Words" features lead singer Gary Cherone with Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt on the guitar and … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “More Than Words” by Extreme

Throwback Friday: “Thank You For Being A Friend” by Cynthia Fee (a dedication)
Who would've thought that 2 weeks in a row my Throwback Friday posts would be TV theme songs in honor of the passing of sitcom icons? Rue McClanahan, most famously known as "Blanche Devereaux" on the hit TV show "The Golden Girls," passed away yesterday June 3, 2010 after suffering a stroke.

Instead, I picked a song that just touched me personally today. I'm keeping it in the 70s like last week by choosing "Happy Feelin's" by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly from the album by the same name. This was after the group had been … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “Happy Feelin’s” by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly
Throwback Friday: “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” by Roy Ayers
See! I told you this week I would go back a decade. Time for some 70s spring/summer lovin' music. Released in 1976, "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" is the title track off Roy Ayers's album. A native of LA, it only seems natural that this jazz artist would pen a song like this. As I listen to it now, it feels like a precursor to sounds you hear in G-Funk made popular in the … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” by Roy Ayers
