Band on the Run
Frank Sinatra. She saw him at the Paramount in NY as a teenager with a jW girlfriend. I was so shocked when she volunteered this info. It was the only normal teen thing she did. I took her to see him at Radio City Music Hall shortly before he died. I've grown to love him. He was the anti_Beatle to me.
Tony Bennett- local.
I Want to Hold Your Hand -She supported me during my Beatlemania period which remains ongoing.
Blackbird. I was so beaten down by pain. She was my caretaker. My dependence cannot be overstated. For some reason, I started singing it. Never did when it was released. She was so happy to hear me interacting with my precious Beatles.
Big Band in general.

Mouthy, Paul Robeson sang My Curly-Headed Baby.
It should be on YouTube.
I can't find it at work, but perhaps someone else can do it.

One in a million - John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers
I don't see you very often And it's sad that we're apart I just want you to know That you're always in my heart My sweet mother,you gave me life and gave me light You are one in a million With power to make whole world bright You taught me pride in my achievements And stand up for myself The value of compassion And the love of someone else My good mother, raised me up to be a man You're just one in a million Tell you every way I can I know it wasn't always easy Never enough to go around Did the best that you were able And best is what you found Hey now, mother, don't make you swell with pride You're sure one in a million Make me feel so good inside Six thousand miles between us Don't think about that now Telephones and photographs have got to do somehow My dear mother, you gave me love and made me whole No matter where I wander You're in my lovin' heart and soul -
