Many of the songs that do this to me have origins in my adolescence, the late
60's and early 70s, when my siblings and I would gather around the piano or
the turntable to sing, to wit:
"Candles in the Rain" - Melanie
"Come on People" - Laura Nyro
"Say it Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)" - James Brown
"What's Going On" - Marvin Gaye
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" From "The Execution of Private
Slovik" movie (This one should've been on my tear-jerker list, actually)
"Do Right Woman" - Aretha Franklin
-Julius
