A perfect song? What are your choices?

@mitchagain - 'I'm On Fire' by Dwight Twilley Band? Great choice - what a wonderful power-pop song that was! 

@larsman  - Thanks, that is indeed a great song. Over the years I've been surprised by friends of mine who grew up in a different region(s) of the country who had never heard that song. Maybe that's why it wasn't a bigger hit, as it surely deserved to be bigger than it was.

Oh yeah, a bid 3rd on Twilley’s "I’m On Fire"! His "Tryin’ To Find My Baby" is another Power Pop classic.

And how could I have not included "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid?

As I write I’m listening to Dave Edmund’s great recording of John Fogerty’s "Almost Saturday Night". And if you haven’t heard it, give a listen to Dave’s recording of Mickey Jupp’s "You’ll Never Get Me Up (In One Of Those)", a healthy dose of pure American Rock ’n’ Roll, written by an Englishman, played and sung by a Welshman. Both songs are included in Dave’s Twangin’ album.

Country & Western/Hillbilly music isn’t shown the respect it deserves ’round these here parts. Allow me to correct that situation.

- "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton.

- "Stand By Your Man" by Billy Sherrill & Tammy Wynette.

- "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" by Bobby Braddock & Curly Putman.

- "Long Black Veil" by Danny Dill & Marijohn Wilkin.

- "Ring Of Fire" by June Carter & Merle Kilgore.

- "She Thinks I Still Care" by Dickey Lee & Steve Duffy.

- "The Bottle Let Me Down" and "Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard.

The acoustic version is lovely too.

Audrey Hepburn was such a darling.
