Name the song the line is from Part II

Sorry to butt in, but Tony's is "Why Me, Lord," by Kris Kristofferson.

Now back to Jim's --

"Ooooh
Fallin’ free, fallin’ free
Fallin’ free, fallin’ free
Fallin’ free
Ooooh
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
You and me"

A few more hints.

In the next verse, the three-word title of the song is repeated five times:

Ooooh
Fallin’ free, fallin’ free
Fallin’ free, fallin’ free
Fallin’ free
Ooooh
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
You and me
Ooooh

As noted, the song is from 1977. There was a certain genre of dance music that was very popular at the time. This song was done in that style. The vocal track was sung by a real person. The backing music was 100% synthesized.

The American female artist who sang the vocal was sometimes called “The Queen of [the genre]”.


I’ll give it up in a little while if no one guesses it.

Aaaahhhggggg!!! How did I miss it?
She is still one of my favourites

That is the great Donna Summer and she is Feeling Love - I Feel Love!

Sixties!

Cross your heart with your living bra





Haha. I used to tease my wife with that one. Her name is Judy.

It's Judy In Disguise (With Glasses), by John Fred and his Playboy Band. Good one!


More 60s (barely). Later covers generally met with limited success, but the 1960 original of this one went to #1 US and #2 UK:

Oh, I know
That the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun

Not sure who did it originally but it is Save the Last Dance For Me. Still play that one!
Heading out for a while so I'll leave it open



Ok here's an easy one:

Take a sad song and make it better.

Hey Jude from the Fab Four!

Sixties -

Wherever you go

Hi All,

That must be “Soldier Boy” by The Shirelles. Nice choice, Tony.

I’ll turn now to 1976:

I'm not sure why I called
Hello, everyone. Taking a break from that New Year's ritual called bowl game overload, lol.

Cyndee, that's got to be I'd Really Love To See You Tonight. It's a very pretty song by England Dan and John Ford Coley. Nice choice.


I'm a little apprehensive about this one, but I liked it, so I'll give it a whirl. It's from 1989 (US#1, UK#7):

People say I should forget
There's plenty more
Don't get upset
People say she's doin' fine
Mutual friends I see here sometimes


I really like that one, Jim. It was played a lot on the jukebox where I worked at the time. It’s “Good Thing” by Fine Young Cannibals. Great choice.

We have some mid-80s here:

Oooh, now baby, I'm caught up in the magic I see in you
