For fatherless son to mother song...try “Mother of a miners child” by Gordon Lightfoot.

Ignored is Barret Strong, the singer of “Money, That’s What I Want”, a great rock song.

You guys too young for the Platters, “Only You”; Five Satins, “In the still of the Night”; Tommy Benton, “It’s all in the game”...Ivory Joe hunter, “I need you so”...etc.

You’re sweet but I may be old enough to be your grandmother.......lol.......I Only Have Eyes For You by the Flamingo’s still sticks in my mind from when I was growing up......didn’t really enjoy the 50’s music until I was old....spit!

Unheard of at the time for the vocal to come in so late. Groundbreaking stuff.
