Baby Boomer Beatles Week

Now that I've recovered from the shock of the deaths of Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac, I'm back with my favorite baby boomer jams.

This week is dedicated to The Beatles. Ever since I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show back in 1964 (I think), I was a fan. What I admired and respected about the group from Liverpool is they never hid the fact that their music was greatly influenced by the Rhythm and Blues music they heard in the United States. Many white artists in this country stole the music originally made by black artists, claimed it as their own and went on to make millions.

The Beatles are forever etched in music history. The songs I post this week are in no particular order of how I like them, although this song ranks in my favorite top three.

Baby Boomers Grew Up on Motown

This blog is dedicated to baby boomers, like me, who grew up listening to music---all kinds of music! I'm a baby boomer whose parents were music lovers and always had the latest hit records in our home. The songs featured in this blog are the ones I would include on my all-time favorites list. Maybe we share some of the same interests. Take a listen to the best song I believe The Temptations ever sang.
