Radoye Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Quote "Danny Boy" is a ballad, written by English songwriter Frederic Weatherly in 1913, and set to the traditional Irish melody of "Londonderry Air". In 1910, in Bath, Somerset, the English lawyer and lyricist Frederic Weatherly initially wrote the words to "Danny Boy" to a tune other than "Londonderry Air". After his Irish-born sister-in-law Margaret Enright Weatherly (known as Jess) in the United States sent him a copy of "Londonderry Air" in 1913 (an alternative version of the story has her singing the air to him in 1912 with different lyrics), Weatherly modified the lyrics of "Danny Boy" to fit the rhyme and meter of "Londonderry Air" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radoye Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Quote "Saturday Night Fish Fry" is a jump blues song written by Louis Jordan and Ellis Lawrence Walsh, best known through the version recorded by Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five. While the origins of rock and roll are disputed, some have suggested that the song may indeed be the first rock 'n roll record. The song does contain elements that would be used in rock 'n roll such as electric guitar, a brisk tempo and "a mix of the bass" that would be common in the later genre. Saturday night fish fries were a New Orleans tradition (dating back several decades, but particularly popular during the Prohibition era) of piano parties, or rent parties, at which a pianist played and visitors donated as much money as they could afford; the beer flowed freely, with plenty of potato salad and (of course) fried fish. The sponsor would hang a red kerosene lamp on the gate so everyone would know it was a fish fry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.F. Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Spoiler Lyrics Oh where oh where can my baby be The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world We were out on a date in my daddy's car We hadn't driven very far There in the road straight up ahead A car was stalled the engine was dead I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right I'll never forget the sound that night The screaming tires the busting glass The painful scream that I heard last Oh where oh where can my baby be The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world When I woke up the rain was pouring down There were people standing all around Something warm flowing through my eyes But somehow I found my baby that night I lifted her head she looked at me and said Hold me darling just a little while I held her close I kissed her our last kiss I found the love that I knew i have missed Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight I lost my love my life that night Woah, woah, woah, woah Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh Wayne Cochran The singer-songwriter released his original version of "Last Kiss" in 1961, and it went on to become a number-two hit in two cover versions.
