About my song of the day:
I listen to music when I work (8+ hours a day). I put my entire hard drive in random play (about 24,000 songs). Naturally, I would bump into songs I like. And I replay that favorite song again and again throughout the day. Then the music will be embedded in my brain for a day or two.
Hence, I call it my song of the day.
Past Song of the Day's
Below is Song of Day's from the past along with my chit-chat.

If you love me (Really Love Me) by Edith Piaf.
I didn't watch the movie 'La vie en rose'. But, I guess this story was told in the movie. The song was written for her lover. She sang this song for the first time in 1949 in New York. Next month, her lover took a plane ride from France to New York to be with her and got killed in the crash. She released this song several months later. I like this song a lot.
Songs like this remind me I need to hurry up and find true love :(
Kay Starr's version (English). Starr is 89 years old, still alive.
Esther Phillips' version
Brenda Lee's version - Brenda is still alive, only 67 years old. She was super young when she was popular. When she tourd UK in the 1960's an unknown band, The Beatles, was her opening act. A legend right here.

Disguises by Roberta Flack Featuring Donny Hathaway (March 1980). This is just a good song. Donny Hathaway committed suicide after recording 2 songs. Flack released the album a few months later.
Another Song: Make it Rain by Michael Burks.
What can I say? Man gets mellow sometimes. I'm doing OK.

Blossom Dearie - Plus Je T'embrasee
I know it's Christmas time, but I wanted to pay respect to Blossom Dearie.
On more: Bossom Dearie - Doop Doo Dee Doop
I think I like Peggy Lee's version better, but Blossom is always cute.
