Music Classics

Music!! How does one live without it? Not only does it add tremendous value to our daily lives, it also enhances our enjoyment when watching a movie…. Can you imagine that scene in Jaws where the shark is cruising up behind the hero’s boat…… and there is no music at all. Just silence !

Over the years there have been some great classics which, to my mind, have endured throughout the decades impervious to generations and genre’s. So I decided to share some of those which I believe are classics in the true sense of the word.
From Google.

classic

adjective

judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind.

"a classic novel"
synonyms: definitive, authoritative; More ###

A superb number from the 1950’s

Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife

Who has never heard this great Christmas number ….

Bing Crosby – White Christmas

For years this song held the title of the biggest posthumous hit by a male vocalist

Otis Redding – dock of the bay

One of my all time favourite songs although I hated it when I was young, the incomparable Frank Sinatra aka ‘Ole Blue Eyes’

Frank Sinatra – My Way

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
