Man, these were the days. Kaftans, long hair, beards, beads, lots of hooter, acid, mushies and women to die for.

 

Buddy Hackett.

 

A nice, simple, but effective cover of the Marley classic One Love.

 

Hate ****in' Aussie Rules.

 

Just a man and a guitar. He looks down the road and waits on the return of his woman. Who needs a million dollars worth of sound equipment?

Look down the road
'Fer as my eyes could see
Hey-hey, yeah
'Fer as my eyes could see
And I couldn't see nothin'
Looked like mine, to me

I don't want no woman
Stay out all night long
Yeah, hey-hey-hey
She stay out all night long
I don't want no woman
Don't know right from wrong

I wouldn't have a rooster
He won't crow 'fore day
Yeah, hey-hey-hey
He won't crow 'fore day
I wouldn't have a hen
Won't cackle when she lay

I don't want no woman
Got hair like drops a-rain
Hey-hey-hey
Got hair like drops a-rain
Boy, you know this a shame
It's a pity an a cryin' shame

I ain't gon' no holler
Comin' the road you're down'
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Comin' on the road you're down
I'm gon' stand right here, 'till my
Mustache drag the ground

Mama, low
Papa, saw her and so
Hey-hey-hey-hey
Papa, saw her an s-
She walk like my baby
But she comin' too slow

That's the reason
I look down the road
'Fer as my eyes could see
Hey-hey-hey-hey
'Fer as my eyes could -
Then I couldn't see nothin'
Looked like mine, to me

 

Mention the name Bing Crosby today and you'll probably get an "Aggghhh gimme a break." But if you seek the truth, Bing is and was one of the biggest selling singers in history, he was a super star of he first magnitude. More than a billion sales of one type or another sets the man alone from all others. He could sing anything and the clip below attests to his brilliance. His voice was so warm and rich, it was as smooth as.

 

Another brilliant version, probably my favourite.

 

For any music lovers on here check out a band called Greta Van Fleet. They are amazing. The kid who sings for them my god what a voice, he's the second coming of Robert Plant i swear. Saw them last night in Manchester and out of the hundreds of gigs I've been to its in my top 5. Can't recommend them enough
