No requested medley today. I was feeling inspired and came up with this 30-minute “let’s get the weekend started” blast of rock and roll.
I didn’t stick with one particular year. Hell, I didn’t even stay with a single decade. I just wandered through the massive collection of songs (over 45,000 of them) in my database.
Most of the songs should be familiar to you but if a few are “I’ve never heard that one before” songs, look at it this way. You just discovered something new! 🙂

The Weekend Is Here Medley
Norman Greenbaum – Raiders – Belmonts
Guess Who – Crickets – Sly & The Family Stone
Stevie Wonder – Stealers Wheel – Mystics
Kinks – Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
Well Ray, you sure have gone all eclectic on me this morning. Jumping all over the place to keep me on my toes. I must admit you did a fine job.
Norman Greenbaum always has a positive effect on me. It’s a shame he liked chicken farming more than singing.
You got me with the Belmonts today, I don’t remember that song at all. A nice surprise.
Buddy Holley is timeless and enjoyable each time I hear him.
Sly of course wants us all to dance. On this song he is less frantic than usual. I. Like him with more energy.
I know you put the Kinks in here toward the end to see if I was paying attention. Well I was and thank you.
Who would have ever thought to pair Robert Plant with Allison Krauss? Not me but it sure works.
Thanks Ray, I hope you enjoy the weekend.
Thanks, Don 🙂
First things first. I DID plant that Kinks song near the end just for you. I can’t believe you picked up on that. 😉
Greenbaum was a true product of the 60s. He never cared about being a star and you’re right, he did love his farming.
That Belmonts song was their last Top 40 hit (#28 in 1962).
Can you begin to imagine how big Buddy would have been if not for that plane crash?
I came very close to including ‘Dance To The Music’ for Sly … probably should have.
Plant & Krauss nailed that old Everly Brothers song!
Warning … It’s a mellow Neil Diamond medley on Sunday 🙂
Thanks for the warning. I’m taking Sunday off.
I knew you would 😉
This was so helpful today! It charged me in the morning and gave me the lift I needed in the afternoon. I discovered and enjoyed 2 new-to-me songs and loved the variety! 45,000 songs?!?! That’s a lot of memories! 🙂 XOXOXOXO
Thank you, Wendyl ❤️
Discovering new things is always fun 🙂 I’m very glad the music gave you a lift and I KNOW Monday’s medley will do the same thing!
XOXOXOXO
What fun! Such variety…I love eclectic… liked hearing songs I never heard right next to old favorites.
Thank you, Donna.
I admit I was all over the musical map with this medley. 🙂
