Song of the Day - Toast To Our Differences - Rudimental

There's something about this song that's just so likable to me.  Between the African/Island-flavored rhythms and vocals and its beautiful message, to me it is one perfect song for utopia!  Check out Rudimental and Toast To Our Differences...

Hump Day Song of the Day - Muevelo Loca Boom Boom - Pitbull

Image result for muevelo loca

For any of you wondering whatever happened to Latin rap sensation Pitbull, well he's still around and he's still sounding like he always did.  With a thumping back beat, catchy lyrics and Pit's signature voice, I totally jam out whenever I hear this one.  I think the only reason this song wasn't a big hit is because people were just over the sound of Pitbull, but hey, he's still got it!  Check out Muevelo Loca Boom Boom...

Song of the Day - Freedom - The Pointer Sisters

It's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and of course the theme for the day is freedom.  Now there are plenty of songs out there eschewing the concepts of freedom, and I'm choosing a lesser-known song by the Pointer Sisters, from their 1985 album Contact.  It's a beautiful song and I hope you'll check it out.  Here's Freedom...

Song of the Day - Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tenille

Image result for love will keep us together

In case you haven't heard the news, I am sorry to be the one breaking it to you, but Daryl Dragon, the "Captain" in the pop duo Captain & Tenille, passed away late yesterday at the age of 76.  I never thought I'd be posting one of their songs here, but they were undeniably a part of my musical youth.  Who remembers, but I probably even had one or two of their albums back in the 70's when they were popular and I was a pre-teen.  Their songs were everywhere back then and if you were around at the time, you surely remember pop ditties like Shop Around, Muskrat Love, Do That To Me One More Time, and this one, their first big hit which earned them a Grammy back in 75.  Here's the still so catchy Love Will Keep Us Together...  


Rest In Peace Captain!
