There are so many wonderful girl singers, so here are a few, singing favorite love songs.
“The happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.” was the first song I ever heard by Donna Fargo. It is so nice to be happy, and I wish everyone in the whole wide world could be happy.
“Harper Valley PTA” was a really big hit for Jeanie C. Riley when I was young, and I wish I could play the guitar the way it is played on the record.
“Stand by your man.” I think this song was a world wide hit. Sometimes it must be hard to be a woman. Men are so bull headed! To me, women are symbols of love, but I think it is the men who start all the wars and troubles in the world.
“Sweet nothin’” This was a big hit when I was a young teenager, and I related very strongly with this song. I didn’t know what to talk about with a girl. “My baby gave me that special look!”
This song scared me when I was a teenager. I guess I was scared to get married. Some parts of the song are very true though: “I’ll never be lonely anymore.”
“Soldier Boy.” In my country, the guys had to do military training, and this song was often played on the radio in the request programs.
“Tammy.” I read the book by Debbie Reynolds, and it was very interesting. She had a hit with this song.
“Tennessee Waltz.” Some people have got it all, beauty and a nice voice! This song was too sad for me to sing, but I don’t mind hearing Patti Page sing it.
“Blue Bayou.” I love the way Linda Ronstadt hits those high notes. I can’t do that. She sings some good songs. I like her version of “Wayward Wind” too.
When I was young Nancy had a big hit with the boots song.
I have heard Mary Ford on the radio recently and she sings very nice.
We heard Debbie in South Africa when she was there with her dad, and it was a great honour to meet her.
Many of the songs I link to on the YouTube seem to get removed. Maybe they were pirate copies, or maybe they were stolen by the Pirates of the Caribbean. If any of you see Johnny Depp, ask him if he has seen the songs.
