Tell a favorite singer and a song that he/she sang.

My song that I remember the most is "Hey Jude" by a group called (and you may have never heard of them) The Beatles. It was special to me because it was a song that lasted seven minutes and I got to dance with Marie for about 5 minutes of it before another guy (Leon Mallow) tapped in and took her for the rest of the dance. And worse than that it was the last dance of the night. I did get to have the last word of the night with her since I walked her home after the dance. There were other songs that I liked and when I looked through the list the other day I could instantly recall the music in my mind. They actually made some really great songs during that area that are still popular today.

What was your favorite singing group or band?

It was probably “the Sons of the Pioneers” first and then the Monkee’s and the Beatles. However Neil Diamond has come to be my most favorite over the years as time has gone on and his songs have continued to be created aand sang as well as the old ones still being popular.
