It is so nice to be happy, and I wish everyone in the whole wide world could be happy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aOZPBUu7Fro&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">Jeanie C. Riley<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarper Valley PTA\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CMXnu31-k_U\" target=\"_blank\">Tammy Wynette<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cStand by your man.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tfJ-q0VFe_g\" target=\"_blank\">Brenda Lee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSweet nothin\u2019\u201d This was a big hit when I was a young teenager, and I related very strongly with this song. I didn\u2019t know what to talk about with a girl. \u201cMy baby gave me that special look!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=001JlTfLZPE\" target=\"_blank\">Girl Singers \u2013 The Dixie Cups<\/a><\/p>\n<p>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: \u201cI\u2019ll never be lonely anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BMu24ItpJN0\" target=\"_blank\">The Shirelles<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoldier Boy.\u201d In my country, the guys had to do military training, and this song was often played on the radio in the request programs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oYymDZtJvgs\" target=\"_blank\">Debbie Reynolds<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTammy.\u201d I read the book by Debbie Reynolds, and it was very interesting. She had a hit with this song.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_Ek3eCbfqp0&amp;NR=1\" target=\"_blank\">Patti Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTennessee Waltz.\u201d Some people have got it all, beauty and a nice voice! This song was too sad for me to sing, but I don\u2019t mind hearing Patti Page sing it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=su_NI9PQ1XQ\" target=\"_blank\">Linda Ronstadt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlue Bayou.\u201d I love the way Linda Ronstadt hits those high notes. I can\u2019t do that. She sings some good songs. I like her version of \u201cWayward Wind\u201d too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xG0NCj9dOSI&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">Nancy Sinatra<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I was young Nancy had a big hit with the boots song.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7iGXP_UBog4&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">Mary Ford<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have heard Mary Ford on the radio recently and she sings very nice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/video.search.yahoo.com\/video\/play?p=debbie%20boone%20you%20light%20up%20my%20life&amp;tnr=21&amp;vid=959553275202&amp;l=213&amp;turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts3.mm.bing.net%2Fvideos%2Fthumbnail.aspx%3Fq%3D959553275202%26id%3Dacdcd3d5ad5e15cd39773411657e239d%26bid%3DmcLwyOGT1mrvUA%26bn%3DThumb%26url%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fwww.youtube.com%252fwatch%253fv%253db07-yKnKRMQ&amp;rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Db07-yKnKRMQ&amp;sigr=11adgp1pk&amp;newfp=1&amp;tit=Debby+Boone+You+light+up+my+life\" target=\"_blank\">Debbie Boone<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We heard Debbie in South Africa when she was there with her dad, and it was a great honour to meet her.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the songs I link to on the YouTube seem to get removed.
