    I can't think of any one in particular at the moment, other than "In the Ghetto", by Elvis. Of course all of the songs dealing with war, drugs, rebellion, etc, pretty much defines things today - unfortunately. Are there any songs about "twerking"????

    I don't really listen to much music of this day - I'm a child of the 60's 70's and 80's when there was so much folk music, and music that was actually music, and not some of this nonsense "street music" - chanting to the beat of the drum. AARRGGGHHHHH !!! Loved the Everly Brothers, Pat Boone (Goone as so many call him), Peter, Paul & Mary, Glen Campbell, Andy Williams, Roger Whittaker, John Denver, Moody Blues (even tho more "rock"), and so many more like those listed. I'm even so "square", that I LOVE Yanni.

    I was thinking about this during the day. And through all the upheaval of various times, love songs continue and are always part of the musical landscape.

    Oh yes indeed - very dreamy!

    And a couple of more recent singers that I love, are Josh Groban and Susan Boyle. I could listen to them all day!
