If you really want to know: (this list is legitimate, and fairly recent) These are AR's top 10:
These are songs to have grown up with:

I Won’t Dance - Fred Astaire
My hero. Completely disciplined, completely free.

I’m Easy - Keith Carradine
From Robert Altman’s great film, Nashville. The scene has an acting lesson from Lily Tomlin.

Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts - Bob Dylan
10am. Monday morning. RADA student. Our brilliant teacher, June Kemp, gets us moving.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack
Just listen.

Desperado - Langley Schools Music Project
Recorded in a school gym in 1976. The singer is 9 years old.


Dancing in the Street - Martha and The Vandellas
Just dance.

Real Good For Free - Joni Mitchell
She says it all, really. No comment required.

Coney Island - Van Morrison
Nostalgia about everything. Everywhere.

You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling - The Righteous Brothers
Last dance at the party. A red light bulb. The dregs of cheap wine.

Imagination - Little Jimmy Scott
A great jazz singer rediscovered just in time.

Waimea, you have just the most wonderful information....LOL

Love ya!

We aim to please. (;

I could see Alan enjoying watching Fred Astaire. Oh my, after seeing him some in the BBC Barrister series. Love the list waimea!

Wow! Where did you find this list? I've never seen it before.
P.S. - I remember hearing First Time Ever I Saw Your Face on a non commercial radio station and knowing immediately that I had to have that record. I must have walked about 2 miles to get to the only store I knew was selling it at the time. This was, I think, about a year before it became a huge hit. I've never done that for any other record before or since then. It's nice to know that Alan and I share some similar tastes in music (-:

Thank you !!! :))))))
