Okay, Ray Charles didn’t do “Be-Bop-A-Lula,” that was Gene Vincent. But “What’d I Say” and “I’ve Got a Woman” are both Ray Charles standards.

Here's another song I didn't know that I knew until I played it. Great song. Have you ever done a Bee Gees countdown? They were great songwriters; and wrote over 1,000 songs both for themselves and others (Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, etc.).

@LindaOHio — I know. You know, he owned Johnny Cash’s house when it burned down. I read he had planned on making it a museum.

@FourWalls No pressure. Just a suggestion. I'm prejudiced because I LOVE them. It's a shame that only Barry Gibb is left. :-(

Oh yes do I..I sat right next to Mark Knopfler at an impromptu party for his lighting mans engagement in Croydon, London many years ago. He had the most bluest eyes.

Sorry do not know this one but can say at some point in my life I have been in dire straits and I have taken some incredible walks through my life
