My dad used to sing that song (cats in the cradle) to me when I was kid. Funny how life imitates art.

- Buffalo Springfield - For what it’s Worth
- Credence - Who will stop the rain (the remake a few years ago with Fogerty and Bob Seger especially)
- Otis Redding - Sitting on the dock of the bay
- The Shirelles - Baby it’s you.

Thats enough to wet my eyes.

Written in a minor scale. It is sad before you hear the lyrics.

Don't stop believing.... the closing song we played at our Daughter's memorial with 200+ in attendance all holding hands in a circle.

Was the song that her and her other small town girlfriends always requested as the last song at closing time, in bars in Toronto, when they were going to University.

The Star Spangled Banner, when sung properly and powerfully, can be emotional. Whitney did a fantastic job all those years ago.
