I would sing Jolene and Dock of the bay.
I would also do Devil went down to Georgia.
Carey, Jolene is such a beautiful song. I'd never heard it until I was making the CD.
I really like Mountain Music by Alabama and could so see me slapping my thigh and stomping my feet while singing. I love Patsy's voice on Your Cheating Heart but I'd go with Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth. Awesome song.
On the other CD, I love Dance to the Music for it's upbeat tempo but would sing Summertime. Janice also did this. Not sure which rendition I'd do.
I play the best of Dolly CD when I get ready in the morning. I just love her. If you want to hear a beautiful song by her, check out Coat of Many Colors. Sad song.
And Little Sparrow is another good one. And Three Doors down.
Oh, let's face it, I'm a big dork and I love Dolly Parton.
CD #1: I'd sing Devil went down to Georgia just because I live here and I know I could never hit the high notes in a Patsy Cline song LOL.
CD #2: Definitely "Reach Out" by the Four Tops. It has got to be one of my most fave songs evah. I remember my sister and I singing it to each other one New's Year Eve. We were drunk and shouting it out but we meant the words.
Great songs.
*sings* I'll be there, to love and comfort you .....
Dock of the Bay! I wanted to say Didn't I Blow Your Mind, but I can't sing that high.
Dock of the Bay is one of my VERY favorite songs.
I win, right?
Provided a canuck is elligible to enter, I would have to go with "Isn't She Lovely" (Stevie Wonder). I think it's the only song in my range (like how I pretend to know what I'm talking about?) plus it's up-beat, so that's always good.
I do lvoe "Didn't I Blow Your Mind.." (by the Delfonics), though. That one gets some serious iPod rotation over here. (It's on my "Jackie Brown" soundtrack.)
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhh, I didn't realize we had to pick one from both CDs! I'm going to pick Mountain Music from CD#1. It's fun. The audience will love me.
Nookie, my son loves that song. When I played that CD he would get so wrapped up in it. I saw Charlie Daniels do that live. That's a fiddle player. Reach out is another great one.
Kim - Dock of the Bay - that song always takes me someplace warm. My sister got me into Alabama. Mountain Music is one knee slapping song.
EmRB - of course. I'm changing the name to the America's Idol. I love Stevie and passed up an opportunity to see him live in Vegas. The Delfonics are a classic act. My x-BF, the one that left me heartbroken, was a big Delfonics fan.
Carey, that suprised me that you like Dolly. My dad would always yell, "Lasann, come in here Dolly and Porter are on the TV." He did that because I didn't much like country. I didn't much like Dolly then but since my CD creation I've come to appreciate her voice. I love her personality and loved 9 to 5 and all the other movies she was in.
Tomorrow will be my attempt at classic rock and my Beatles CD.
I'll do Walking after midnight and Dock of the Bay. Better schedule me to go on last though, cause I'm thinking I'll be able to clear the room.
I LOVE Dolly, Lasann. Last year, Michelle and I scored front row center to her concert and we took my Mom. Had the best time ever. We even got some of the beads from one of her outfits that had a little mishap on stage.
Dolly is one of my 5 top favorite performers of all time.
And what she did for Cole Porter? Made me love her even more.
He had to sell the rights to some of his music to pay off, I believe the IRS. Anyhow, she bought all the rights from him so that he could pay his bill. Later on, when he had made some money again, he wanted to buy back the rights from her. She did not sell them back to him. She gave them back for nothing. Now that is loyalty.
Ring of Fire and Let's Get it On!
Love them to bits!
You're Gonna Miss Me and What's Going On.
