Play it again, Sam!

[soulster]

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

[Jerry Oz]

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.

You have a great list Soulster and I can easily see myself playing some of those more than once. But here are a few of my own.....


These Eyes - The Guess Who
Ain't Nobody - Rufus & Chaka Khan
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
There'll Never Be - Switch
I Ain't Leaving Without You - Jahiem.


There are just too too many that I would play over and over. This is tough LOL

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.

[Jerry Oz]

Only the Lonely by The Motels
American Workers and Heart and Soul by The Bus Boys
Sunless Saturday by Fishbone
It Wasn't Me by Shaggy
Tell Me a Bedtime Story by Pieces of a Dream
So Far Away by The Crusaders
Brighton By the Sea and Blue Lick by Bob James
Mr. Magic by Grover Washington Jr.
Down Home Blues by Z.Z. Hill
Friends In Low Places by Garth Brooks
My Maria by Brooks and Dunn

All are ear candy for me.

It is a bona fide classic Ralph!

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,
