Songs To Singers

Like the headline says. Here are some songs about (or addressed to) singers.

"Steve Earle" - Lydia Loveless

"Johnny Cash" - Madeline

"Rickie Lee Jones" - Fire Island Pines

"Diana Ross" - Freddie Gwala

"Cathy Dennis" - June & The Exit Wounds

Four of those five titles also appear in the "Artists" menu on my iPod. This woman is the odd one out.

    Now you're just showing off. I have a couple of those and can add "The Four Mills Brothers" by Van Dyke Parks, but I am not sure I have much more after that.

    I can feel a Spotify list coming on (or at least I could if I had Spotify). Over to you, Mister F?
