    Play it again, Sam!

    I was just playing "Ebony Eyes" by Bob Welch [[Yeah, I know it ain't soul, but, so what? I love pop music.). It's one of those songs that I can't get enough of and have to play it a few times. I never tire of it.

    What songs do you love so much that you have to play it repeatedly a few times?

    Some of mine are [[and, again, I love pop music):

    Ebony Eyes - Bob Welch
    You Keep Me Hanging On - The Supremes
    Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
    Midnight Confessions - The Grass Roots
    I Love You - People
    The World Is A Ghetto - War
    Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes - Edison Lighthouse
    One Chain Don't Make No Prison - The Four Tops
    Closer To Home - Grand Funk Railroad
    Ninety-Nine And A Half [[Won't Do) - Wilson Pickett
    Hold On, I'm Comin' - Sam & Dave
    Fox On The Run - Sweet

    One that instantly comes to mind is "Do You Wanna Hold Me" by Bow Wow Wow. That is one of the catchiest songs to me.

    Baby I Need Your Loving - Four Tops
    Rise - Herb Alpert
    Walk Away from Love - David Ruffin
    Stoned Love - Supremes
    That Girl - Stevie Wonder
    Didn't I Blow Your Mind - Delfonics
    Nights on Broadway - Bee Gee's

    You guys are picking some good songs. But for me, and I think I've said it before, my favorite play it again song would be "For Your Love" by Ed Townsend. So soulful with a very smoky sax solo. Outstanding.

    Nice! First time I ever heard Ed Townsend's version. I am more familiar with Peaches & Herb's version.

    I tend to do it in spurts. For a while, I was in a Mitch Ryder mood. I do find myself attracted to good writing, so recently I've been spinning Jim Webb's excellently written "Paper Cup". Great lyrics on this one.

    My iPod has over 10,000 songs on it, and I have a ways to go to fill it to the 40,000 mark...anyway, I've been repeating Bread and Grass Roots songs on it. Most recently, I listened to "Everything I Own" more than once--a girl I went to high school with and had as a friend on Facebook passed away unexpectedly about a month ago after routine surgery, and I cried a little as I played it, thinking of her family. As for Grass Roots, lesser-known hits of theirs like "Wake Up, Wake Up" [[which I'm trying to absorb the message) and "Glory Bound" have gotten played a couple of times in a row.

    However, when I had my Walkman, I did wind up playing "Can't Seem to Get You Out of My Mind" by the Eddy Jacobs Exchange about 10 times in a row once...it was on a Northern soul cassette Tim Ashibende sent me some time ago. Still looking for the damned 45...LOL!

    Best,

    Mark
