Old Songs That Are Still Amazing

Skipadeedoodah · Nov 22, 2009

I've been kind of on an old music kick lately, trying to listen to some stuff I haven't heard before and/or stuff that people rave about, so throw me some old songs that are still amazing.

Here, I'll start. Listen. Love. Share.

Please ignore the terrible video and wretched dialogue in this video. It's the best version of the song I could find.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DlGr0Pj9Rsw&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DlGr0Pj9Rsw&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I'm not gonna lie, this song was inspired by this scene of what might be the most adorable movie ever.

She must have confused old songs with old people.

Oh, I am the queen of old music.

It doesn't get any better than Sam Cooke, though. He embodied soul. His voice was one of a kind. The emotion he could portray in his singing was unsurpassed. This song has to be my favorite of all time. One can only imagine what he could have done for the music world if it wasn't for his untimely death.

Sam Cooke - "A Change Is Gonna Come" (1965)

I totally agree with you about Sam Cooke! I was just listening to him last night. His voice, his style, his everything.......complete and total win. Good to see I'm not alone in my love for him!

He is by far my favorite artist. And in the five years I've been listening to him, nothing I've found has come close. You are definitely not alone. Great minds think alike. 🙂

Agreed 🙂

I grew up with him. My grandmother and father listened to his records constantly so I have a warm and fuzzy feeling about him just from that let alone discovering on my own how awesome he was. Such a great appreciation I have from him.

Yeah, just saw your posts on the Joy Division/The Smiths thread. You have some great taste in music :bowing:

Johnny Cash covered Nine Inch Nail's "Hurt" in 2002. It was featured on his album American IV: The Man Comes Around. Nine Inch Nails did it first in 1994.

The more you know. 😀

Well damn 🙂 Thanks, mama!

P.S. I had a feeling you were gonna be all over this thread 😛

I enjoy your music posts because usually it's stuff I've never heard and most of the time it's pretty good. 😎
