The Chainsmokers: Push my Luck

Oh wow - that ^ made me recall Linda Ronstadt's version...

And there's an earlier song called 'Lucky Man' by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Carol, I’ll delete mine!

my 16 year old grandson and I were talking music and something came up about Elvis and I tried to explain about Elvis in the beginning - his popularity and the controversy of his music and "sexiness." It's really hard to describe to someone who hasn't seen a similar phenomenon (except maybe Taylor Swift's Era's tour) in their generation...then we moved onto the Beatles and he wanted to know what it was like when they came on the scene. All I could say was the girls, the hysteria, the hair, the music, the everything.

Olychick, I think it is wonderful the things you and your grandson talk about. I know you’ve mentioned cars before. And now music.

Allen Toussaint was a wonderful and well respected musician from New Orleans who composed a number of memorable hit songs. This one is Fortune Teller. Another of my favorites of his is Java, an instrumental popularized by Al Hirt.

The first video is Fortune Teller as performed by Toussaint, the second is a cover by the Rolling Stones. It was recorded by many different artists as were many other Toussaint songs.

Roxsolid - Fortunate Son woke me right up!

Here's a doo wop fortune -

DIAMONDS AND PEARLS - THE PARADONS

You Never Give Me Your Money - The Beatles

"And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar

Spend it fast as I can"

Greenback Dollar - Song by The Kingston Trio

You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
With money in the bank

You'll be the fattest cat
Who's stretched out flat
You'll have yourself to thank

Luck Be A Lady Tonight - always an ear worm for me.

And I never realized how much Clapton and Sting's singing styles are alike.

Here's Uptown Gal's link:

Money, Money, Money/ ABBA

Ha! Lonejack - that reminded of this classic Heehaw running gag - I think this one fits the theme:

Pfft You Were Gone

Taking A Chance On Love/ Ethel Waters

Money (That's What I Want)/ Barrett Strong

"Money, so they say

Is the root of all evil today"

Money - Pink Floyd (and one very expensive guitar)

Ah, but properly, it's the love of money 😉

Born Under A Bad Sign/ Albert King

Got My Mojo Working/ Muddy Waters

Country Joe McDonald - Superstitous Blues

RIP Joe!

Berkeleyside.org retrospective

Perfect, sempervirens!

That reminded me of this:

With A Little Bit Of Luck/ Stanley Holloway

No Expectations/ The Rolling Stones

Once I was a rich man, now I am so poor...
