I think the general state of things is what drove a song like "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" back into my consciousness. <br /><br />A coulpe of these songs came to me out of all this general anxiety I've read on Multiply and other sites by regular folks, plus the hatred expressed by pundits and politicians in the major media.doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-39833029598237753122011-08-20T19:40:58.000-07:002011-08-20T19:40:58.000-07:00I have heard the song I never knew of here Doug bu...I have heard the song I never knew of here Doug but brilliantly put as it's a song which certainly is much needed as it's very hard to read all these thoughts from so many on how fed up they are.

While this music recalls your older brother's snogging sessions with his girl (a generosity of spirit on your part to still like Jackie De's music), I always have to divorce her songs in my head from all the advertisers who jumped on the bandwagon later on and used life-affirming music like these first two selections to sell Coca-Cola, ciggies and overpriced, low-mileage four door cars.doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-70696920385497592442011-08-20T02:26:58.000-07:002011-08-20T02:26:58.000-07:00My older brother used to play Jackie De Shannon so...My older brother used to play Jackie De Shannon songs to accompany his toe curling smooching sessions with his girlfriend, but despite all that I still like them Doug, even though I am far too young to have ever owned any myself :-)Aaran Aardvarkhttp://aaranaardvark.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-89617477610306221722011-08-19T16:46:09.000-07:002011-08-19T16:46:09.000-07:00Nor had I heard them in quite a while.

It seems she preferred a more natural look as the decade progressed. <br /><br />I find it's easy to get the original artist of certain iconic songs confused--dozens of solo artists and groups recorded "What the World Needs Now". (Even contemporary groups like Coldplay.) The great Dionne Warwick had the first chance at this one, but she turned it down.doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-47157863911254683362011-08-18T08:20:31.000-07:002011-08-18T08:20:31.000-07:00Me too Lucky.
