No.991: “Begin The Beguine” by Julio IglesiasA surprise that one but I also like that song. I acquired the album somehow (although I don't think I actually went into a shop and asked for it). He has a great mellow voice which just reminds me of lazing around on a sunny Spanish beach, drinking Bobadilla 103.

No.988: “Stay With Me Till Dawn” by Judie TzukeShe had a fantastic haunting voice and was surprisingly successful with this song amongst all the punk/new wave bands of '79. I'm sure she must have had other singles but this is the only one I know.

He reminds me of when I went to Italy and all the wealthy Latino men would dress up in their finest suits with a classy lady on their arm, strolling along the streets on a evening.
Trouble is, you don't tell your drinking buddies you like this sort of thing as they'll lump you in with the Barry Manilow crowd or far worse, Cliff!

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Tracks
As mentioned, a couple of lesser-known songs...No.987: “Bride 1945” by Paul Siebel (1970)
Folk country singer-songwriter Paul Siebel wasn’t as typically well-known as his contemporaries like Willie Nelson or Glen Campbell, but he did release two acclaimed early 70’s albums. The song* which caught my eye was this rather nice ballad from his first record ‘Woodsmoke And Oranges’. Siebel is still around and is 83 years old at the time of witing.
*Unfortunately this song isn't available anywhere on the net so I'll submit this one instead: 'Miss Cherry Lane'.
No.986: “Leave this Man Alone” by The Shiver (1969)
The Shiver were an early progressive rock band from Germany. ‘Repent Walpurgis’ was their best album and features this driving, guitar-driven epic. Oddly, I can’t find the song on YouTube only the full album so here’s that as a bonus for you. See what you think.
More tomorrow when we are to begin with who was probably the world's first female rock vocalist. I wonder if you can guess she was?

Well done, Tiffany!
I think I’ll make this a regular feature at the end of the day’s selections. A little poser.
I was going put this in a batch later on but I’ll just post this one on its own for now until I get organised with the next four songs.
No.985: “(Take Another Little) Piece Of My Heart” by Big Brother & The Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) (1967)
From the Cheap Thrills album, a sublime offering from the hard drinking, hard living raucous blues singer and her band. The song ‘Ball & Chain’ was a contender but just missed the cut.
More soon.
