Song of the Day
"Hey, that's no way to say goodbye" by Roberta Flack.
The truth is that my SOTD is "That's no way to say goodbye" by Leonard Cohen but when I looked it up it turned out that it was my SOTD a mere 2 months ago (I have a bad memory and listen to Leonard Cohen a lot). In the comment section of that post, commenter Bryan mentioned the Roberta Flack version which I'd never heard before. It's very pretty. Not nearly as broody, obviously, as Leonard Cohen's but it still has the same sultry feel.

Bullshit!!! Your song of the day is "Got my mind set on you!" and your song of yesterday was Beyonce's "Upgrade U". Liar!!

Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at September 18, 2008 07:11 PMBeing the youngest, my childhood is punctuated by the musical tastes of my siblings. Roberta Flack (sometimes with Donny Hathaway) was always played. "Ballad of the sad young men" is a must. Another noteworthy singer is Chaka Khan from her Rufus days. "Walking in the Sun" is a lovely song.
