Otis Redding - Shake (live at Monterey 1967)

Elvis - Little Darling (live '76)

Sweet Song.

Peter Tosh - Legalize It (live)

What an Anthem. Everyone should be familiar with it.

Too Short - The Ghetto (1990)

This is also from my youth, 5-6 grade, and it has a respectable sample from the great Donny Hathaway. And he's from Oakland.

Amy winehouse - F*ck me pumps

This is a message song, and its hard to argue with her message. She looks healthy in the video as well. By way of full disclosure, this is one from my dear mother's favorite artist.


Zacarias Ferreira - Es Tan Dificil

This was the summer hit in Washington Heights last year.
I would hear it at night, especially late at night, along Audoban ave, and it would be repeated and repeated. Well I came to enjoy the classic sound and tried to seek out its name, and it was at a wedding in the village that I was working that I was given the name of the artist by a Puerto-Rican young lady that was working as a waitress at the wedding. I was drinking the host's scotch that night and I happily accepted her handwriting on the cocktail napkin that indicated the name of the singer.




We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel

I remember this song from my youth. Good slideshow, but I'm not with the comments...its a bit much.

Barry McGuire: Eve of Destruction (1965)

The Dells - The Love We Had Stays On My Mind

Looking forward to Shabbos
