[SkeeK]

i'm making a CD of oldies to play in the car as I drive my gorgeous dear love (and a couple other hangers on without vehicles ) to prom.

I've got
Blueberry hill by fats domino
stand by me
you can't hurry love
yesterday
come on eileen
you showed me - turtles
unchained melody
i can't help falling in love with you
perfect day - lou reed

some others.. i want YOUR suggestions. oh and be sure to incude the artist in case I'm clueless.

THANKS!!

Real oldies?

I'd recommend 'Earth Angel' by The Temptations

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Anything by Simon and Garfunkel
Dr. Feelgood--Aretha Franklin
Anything by Neil Diamond

Can't remember the artists off the top of my head, but these are superb...they go like this...

This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore...by Gary Something and the Playboys

Sha-la-la-la-la-la Live for Today by ?

"Rainy Night in Georgia" by ?

Too bad I can't sing 'em for ya!

 

[SkeeK]

Sha-la-la-la-la-la Live for Today by ?

The Grass Roots good suggestion! I'll have to look into your other ones.

I've got Sweet Caroline and The Sound of Silence

How about some Sinatra, Billie Holiday, or Dean Martin? Or some other oldies...

*Maybe Baby--Buddy Holly
*I Only Have Eyes for You-- The Flamingos (this is such a great one!)
*Crimson and Clover--Tommy James and the Shondells
*One Night--Elvis
*My Girl--The Temps (yes generic, but really, the song never seems to get old...)
*Aint Too Proud to Beg--The Temptations yet again...
*Let's Get It On--Marvin Gaye...hehe

Hope I was able to help...

"the Way You Look Tonight"--I believe Harry Connick, Jr. did a great version of this classic
"Be My Baby" the Chiffons (?)--the song at the beginning of Dirty Dancing
"The Nearness of You"--this is an old Hoagy Carmichael song; Norah Jones' version is beautiful

Gary Lewis & the Playboys

The Bee Gees' "Words"

And "Ferry Cross the Mersey" by Gerry & the Pacemakers

 

[HeartlandGirl]

The Grass Roots good suggestion! I'll have to look into your other ones.

I've got Sweet Caroline and The Sound of Silence

I'm glad other people know what the hell I'm talking about! Thank you SkeeK and joyful!

Good Neil, Art, and Paul choices as well!

 

[joyfulgirl]

"I'm Into Something Good" by Herman's Hermits (actually by Carol King, but HH's version) because it's about dancing with a pretty girl


HeartlandGirl--I'm old enough to remember these when they were first released!

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Rainy Night in Georgia appears to be by Brook Benton...or so says the results of my quick Internet search.

joyfulgirl There's nothing wrong with that!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

At Last by Etta James

Very romantic song

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

You must put some Aretha Franklin.

 

[tiny dancer]

Anything by The Beach Boys!

[Moonlit_Angel]

Wow.

Great list you have so far, Skeek.

I also agree with a lot of the other songs mentioned.

How about "Midnight Confessions", another Grass Roots song?

And, my personal favorite song of all time-"Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbinson. I definitely suggest that one, too.

"Brown-Eyed Girl" would work, too (and if your love has brown eyes, that makes it even better ).

And "Something" by the Beatles as well.

There's a few more suggestions for you.

Enjoy your prom, and your time with the girl you're going with. .

Aw, what a sweet thread.


I am blank at the moment, which is weird since it seems as if all my dad listened to in the 80's was oldies from the 50's and 60's!!! lol

 

[SkeeK]

What a night. I think we may have broke up. maybe we can work things out. i don't feel like being anywhere or doing anything right now.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh Skeek...

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Oh, no!

I'm sorry, SkeeK. . .
