U2 - One

A lot of songs by Sam Cooke seem to still be the same to me. Sure, they're very early 60's, but man, his voice is brilliant and they sound beautiful. And this coming from a 31 year old rock and roller.

About a month ago, I was in a store and Del Shannon's "Runaway" was playing on the store speaker system. A couple of teenage girls were singing along and bopping to the music that probably came from the time their parents were born. If that doesn't qualify, what does?
-
September Song.
-
"Moondance" Van Morrisson
-
Imagine by John Lennon.

Bat out of hell - Meat Loaf

Amazing Grace "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see. T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear... the hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares... we have already come. T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace will lead us home. The Lord has promised good to me... His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be... as long as life endures. When we've been here ten thousand years... bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise... then when we've first begun. "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.

All of the great ones transcend time and genre. I remember when Judy Collins acapella rendition of "Amazing Grace" emerged as a hit on every rock station in America. Here are a few of my favorites of the moment and of all time.
