ATF: Honorable Mentions

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Abraham, Martin and John
Dion
Has anybody here
Seen y old friend Abraham
Can you tell me where he's gone
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good they die young
You know
I just looked around
And he's gone

Anybody here
Seen my old friend John
Can you tell me where he's gone
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good they die young
I just looked around
And he's gone

Anybody here
Seen my old friend Martin
Can you tell me where he's gone
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good they die young
I just looked around
And he's gone

Didn't you love
The things that they stood for
Didn't they try
To find some good
For you and me
And we'll be free
Someday soon
And it's a-gonna be one day

Anybody here
Seen my old friend Bobby
Can you tell me where he's gone
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John



Nightshift
The Commodores
Marvin
Marvin
Marvin
Marvin
He was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line
Marvin
Marvin
Marvin
Sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds
And I still can hear him say
Ah talk to me
So you can see
What's goin' on
Say you will
Sing your songs
Forevermore
Ever more
Ever more

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down
On the nightshiff
I bet you're singin' proud
Oh I bet you pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night
it's gonna be alright
On the nightshiff
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift
Oh
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshiff

Jackie
Jackie
Jackie
Hey what you're doin' now
It seems like yesterday
When we were workin' out
Jackie
Jackie
Oh
Oh
You set the world on fire
Fire
Fire
You came and gifted us
Your love
It lifted us
Higher and higher
Keep it up
And we'll be there at your side
Say you will
Sing your songs
Forevermore
Ever more
Ever more

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down
On the nightshiff
I bet you're singin' proud
Oh I bet you pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night
it's gonna be alright
On the nightshiff
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift
You found another home
Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down
On the nightshiff
I bet you're singin' proud
Oh I bet you pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night
it's gonna be alright
On the nightshiff
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift
You found another home…

  4. Great memories! Also seeing the lyrics helped me understand these songs of my youth. I am one who remembers an old hymn "Jesus Saves" as "Jesus Shaves".

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Marja!!! Three Times a Lady is way too syrupy sweet for my taste. Of course, that could go toward explaining why I am so often in trouble with my wife. Sigh.
