The Year you were born Round 7 Theme: The Year 1960 any Genre: Don't look now but I'm singing Rhythm and Blues... and a gender bender to boot.... I getting use to winging it and being out of the country genre for awhile.. but we all know that's my favorite music... "You Talk Too Much" is a 1960 single by Joe Jones. Was written by Fats Domino's brother-in-law, Reginald Hall, Fats actually turned down the song. Joe Jones (12 August 1926, New Orleans, Louisiana – 27 November 2005, Los Angeles, California, not to be confused with guitarist Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones) was an American R&B singer, songwriter and arranger. Jones is also generally credited with discovering The Dixie Cups. As a singer, Jones' greatest hit was the Top Five 1960 R&B hit "You Talk Too Much" that also reached #3 on the pop chart. Joe Jones claimed to have composed many songs, including the song "Iko Iko", which appeared in the opening sequences of the film Rain Man. Although his claims were originally successful, a federal jury and then Court of Appeals ruled that Jones did not write "Iko Iko" and that his claims were fraudulent, and that the true writers were the band he managed, The Dixie Cups. . The Dixie Cups hired music attorney Oren Warshavsky, who had previously won a case demonstrating that Jones fraudulently claimed ownership of another Mardi Gras classic song, "It Ain't My Fault." . Jones also failed in his bid to claim ownership (though not as an author) to yet another Mardi Gras classic song, "Carnival Time.". Jones died from complications from quadruple bypass surgery.

The Year you were born Round 7 Bonus Song.. Harmony Choose any song in the person chosen for you in their already recorded songs.. Well,, It wouldn't matter what I choose I do not do harmony thats why I the better half does it. In fact I have him to thank for the little that I tried.. Hope it's not to bad.. "The Fugitive" by Merle Haggard Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music singer, guitarist, instrumentalist, and songwriter. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield Sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster guitars, vocal harmonies, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. By the 1970s, Haggard was aligned with the growing outlaw country movement, and has continued to release successful albums through the 1990s and into the 2000s. His songs display unflinching personal honesty about such universal themes as love, loss, patriotism, regret and redemption. In 1997, Merle Haggard was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame for his song "Okie from Muskogee". Thanks for my singing partner for laying down this wonderful track..

Her late 1970 release topped the U.S. country charts, reached #3 on the U.S. Billboard pop charts and remained the biggest selling recording by a female country artist until 1997. Anderson's recording sold over 16 million copies and has since become a country/pop music standard. Martina McBride's version In 2005, Martina McBride included the song on her album of covers, Timeless. This album featured classic Country songs from over the years, including "Rose Garden". McBride decided to release her version as a single. Her version brought McBride all the way to the Country Top 20, and brought her a hit. Most critics and fans predicted it would be a hit for McBride, but it would have been unrealistic for anyone to have expected it to be the monster hit it was for Lynn Anderson, reaching the #1 spot in 16 countries worldwide. Here's the list that we follow for each round.. Keep your fingers crossed that I make it through to the end.. love these ladies..

For Today's Feature; "Down Town" Key Of ( ) "Downtown" is a pop song composed by Tony Hatch following a first-time visit to New York City. Hatch had originally intended to present "Downtown" to The Drifters, but when British singer Petula Clark heard the incomplete tune, she proposed that if he could write lyrics to match the quality of the melody, she would be interested in recording it. Thirty minutes before the song was scheduled to be recorded, Hatch was still completing the lyrics in the studio's washroom. "Downtown" was released in late 1964 and became a best seller in English, French, Italian, and German versions, topping music charts worldwide (with 3 million copies sold in the US alone and introducing Clark, who had been a popular recording artist and actress in Europe for nearly 20 years, to the American record-buying public. She continued her success in the United States with a string of fifteen consecutive Top 40 hits. Thanks for listening and commenting..

The song is an up-tempo party anthem in which Owen highlights the various events at a party in a bar. All music described the song as "trying so desperately hard to establish Owens image as a bad-ass hell raiser that it finally becomes comical" Joshua Ryan "Jake" Owen (born August 28, 1981 in Vero Beach, Florida) is a Grammy-Award nominated American country music artist. Signed to RCA Records Nashville in 2005, Owen released his debut album Startin' with Me that year.

A second album, 2009's Easy Does It, has accounted for two more singles in the #2 "Don't Think I Can't Love You" and "Eight Second Ride."
