ladyapple27Most people are familiar with Billy Ward and the Dominoes' classic "Sixty Minute Man." Answer songs were popular in the fifties, and they released their own answer: "Can't Do Sixty No More." You can imagine the lyrics. A friend recently had a milestone birthday, and I sent him a copy. Priceless!
Note: Clarence Carter released a gleefully lascivious version of "Sixty Minute Man." I can only imagine what his version of "Can't Do Sixty No More" would sound like.

"Don't Let the Green Grass Fool You" was another one of those songs that Daddy used to sing.
After all these years, Brook Benton's rendition of "Rainy Night in Georgia" breaks my heart every time I hear it. That's emotive power.
I could talk about this all day...
