OUR DAILY OLDIES: OUR OLD SONG TODAY IS "THE LETTER", ORIGINAL BY THE BOX TOPS BUT SINCE I INCLUDE INTERNATIONAL OLDIES, THERE ARE ARE THE EUROPEAN VERSIONS OF THE SONG, ONE FROM SPAIN AND ONE FROM ITALY, ALL 3 IN THE SAME TRACK. ENJOY IT.

OUR DAILY OLDIES: WHEN I STARTED THIS SECTION TO SHARE OLD MUSIC, I PROMISED OLDIES AND RARITIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD, NOT ONLY OLD SONGS FROM AMERICAN RADIO. THE DECADES BETWEEN THE 1950s AND 1970s (MAYBE SOME 80s TOO) WERE PRODIGIOUS DECADES WHERE THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME WAS PRODUCED, NOT ONLY IN THE U.S.A. BUT AROUND THE WORLD. THERE WAS A GOLDEN AGE OF EUROPEAN POP MUSIC AND TODAY'S SONG IS FROM THOSE TIMES. TODAY WE GO BACK TO ITALY WITH A BEAUTIFUL SONG FROM "MINA".

Today would have been my now deceased Wife Sue's 74th trip around the sun. I've spent most of the day thinking of her and one of her favorite songs. "Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying (Official Music Video)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9TShlMkQnc

Are there any Allman Brothers Band fans here?

OUR DAILY OLDIES: 'LIGHT MY FIRE' WAS A HIT BY THE DOORS BUT AFTER IT BECAME A HIT BY THE DOORS, JOSE FELICIANO DID A VERSION OF THE SONG WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MUSICAL READING AND IT BECAME A RADIO HIT, STILL PLAYING TODAY IN OLDIES STATIONS. I INSERTED A NON COMMERCIAL RECORDING OF A MUSICAL GROUP IN COLOMBIA (SOUTH AMERICA) THAT WERE REHEARSING THE SAME SONG IN SPANISH AND I FOUNDED TO BE AN INTERESTING VERSION. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: 'TILL THERE WAS YOU' IS A VERY OLD SONG, ORIGINALLY IT WAS A CUBAN BOLERO (LOVE SONG), PEGGY LEE RECORDED IT IN ENGLISH, YEARS LATER, THE BEATLES MADE A COVER VERSION AND AFTER THE BEATLES, A MEXICAN MUSICAL GROUP MADE ANOTHER VERSION IN SPANISH. HERE ARE THE 3 OF THEM IN THE SAME TRACK. ENJOY THEM!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: OUR OLD SONG TODAY IS A 'CHICANO OLDIE' ('CHICANO' MEANING AMERICAN OF MEXICAN ANCESTRY). MANY YEARS AGO,THE BORDER WAS NOT A CHAOTIC PLACE LIKE TODAY, MEXICANS FROM BORDER TOWNS CAME TO SHOP TO THE AMERICAN SIDE, PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA WENT TO TIJUANA FOR FUN, SOME TOWNS WERE HALF IN THE U.S.A. AND HALF IN MEXICO, LIKE LAREDO AND NUEVO LAREDO, CARS AND TAXIS HAD BORDER PLATES TO MOVE WITHIN CERTAIN DISTANCE IN BOTH COUNTRIES AND BORDER RADIO SPOKE AND PLAYED MUSIC IN BOTH LANGUAGES. THIS SONG IS AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE OLD TIMES.

Excuse me, but we live in an age where everybody worries about offending everybody else. If my being outspoken about sexual immorality and gay issues offends someone, perhaps it will make them think? If they get offended, it is on them; because it is an abomination to God.

Attention Groomers: They Don't Serve Breakfast in Hell!
This is as much about the cover as it is about the song. Transgenderism is a mental illness, and if you support it you are enabling mental illness and satanic perversion! REPENT or go to hell. The choice is yours.

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY'S OLD SONG IS "SUNNY" IN 4 DIFFERENT VERSIONS: THE ORIGINAL BY BOBBY HEBB, THE MEXICAN VERSION BY LOS YAKI, A FUNKY VERSION FROM ITALY AND A DISCO VERSION BY BONNIE M FROM JAMAICA. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY'S SONG IS 'LET IT BE' FROM THE BEATLES WITH THE ADDED BONUS OF THE SPANISH VERSION IN THE SAME TRACK
