31 Aug 2014 For Mom: Playlist for a Summer Gone By…
HERE’S SOME GOLD DUST:

Curacao – Cal Tjader
The Frog – Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66
Come Together – The Beatles
All Blues – Miles Davis
Come è lunga l’attesta! (Tosca) – Leontyne Price
Scorpio – Dennis Coffey And The Detroit Guitar Band
Bacharach for the Ladies has special significance because I believe that hearing Mom do her best with “Alfie” may have been my first experience listening to a backing track without a Dionne or Dusty to sing along with.
The Good The Bad and the Ugly – Ennio Morricone
Stop! In The Name of Love – The Supremes
Crimson & Clover – Tommy James & The Shondells
Groovin – The Young Rascals
All Cried Out – Dusty Springfield
Walk On By – Dionne Warwick
Every Day A Little Death – Patricia Elliott & Victoria Mallory – Stephen Sondheim
No blog post about vinyl would be complete without this advice from the back cover of Mom’s Lionel Hampton LP, “Wailin’ At The Trianon”

So sorry to hear your mom passed. May she rest in peace.
What a beautiful way to remember her.
Some of the songs on your playlist I grew up with too. I look forward to discovering the others.
Lots of love
Liam
