Sometimes music heals and music teaches us to never give up. I was just remembering back to 2014 when Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith performed this powerful version of 'Dream On' along with the Southern California Children's Chorus. https://t.co/BnyDwHPRbO
Released in late 1977 as the lead single from their 1977 self-titled debut album, 'Baby Come Back' was the breakthrough single for the band Player, and it has always been a favorite of mine. https://t.co/OORODoTNlp

Kenny Loggins wrote 'House at Pooh Corner' when he was in high school and recorded it in 1971 with Jim Messina. In 1994, Loggins re-recorded the song (with an additional verse) under the title 'Return to Pooh Corner.' I love Pooh bear and I love this song. https://t.co/kKRYIW6QAZ

What were you doing back in 1983? Music is the soundtrack of our lives, and I can clearly remember back when I first heard this song. Released as a single in November 1983, from their album In the Heart, here is Kool & the Gang with 'Joanna.' https://t.co/Rzh2G7y15J

"In the A, I'm an innovator
Makes sense why they imitate, huh?
I'm a style originator, while you're still playing
I got real game, you're an emulator"

I love the music of Todd Rundgren, but this song in particular is a favorite of mine and always brings a tear to my eyes. 'Hello It's Me.' I don't think it's only the music. It's also the memories. https://t.co/yLj7mJItwc
This is a song you might have sung in school, but I'm sure it didn't sound this great. Some fine musicians join Bruce Springsteen on 'Erie Canal.'
