This song is from the movie Last of the Mohicans. It's title on the movie soundtrack is Promentory but it is an orchestration of the tune The Gael written by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean and arranged by Trevor Jones. The film is set in the Adirondack Mountains of New York but most of it was filmed in western North Carolina at The Biltmore Estate, Lake James, and Chimney Rock Park (the promontory).

There are several versions floating on youtube but I like this one. If it doesn't stir your emotions, I don't know what will...

Today's selection is about nostalgia. Before Donnie Osmond became a boxer(yes, he boxed Danny "Partridge" Bonaduce to pay his rent) and back when Marie still had soft, non-scar tissue cheeks Donnie was a bubblegum pop sensation who was making teenage girls (and their older sisters) fling their panties at him with a bat of his eye singing songs like this one. From 1971...

I remember seeing this on MTV in the mid-90s. It was considered "alternative" back then, power pop maybe? I really liked this song but didn't care for their other music.

Welcome to another trip in the Way Back Machine. Today's selection is by Herman's Hermits who is still active but not with their front man at the time, Peter Noone. Peter still DJs on Sirius XM's Underground Garage channel occasionally btw. Anywho, in 1966 this song was the B side on the No MIlk Today single. What a shame. It should have been the A side.

A musical history lesson tonight (whether you like it or not). Françoise Hardy was a leading figure in the early 1960's ye'-ye' wave which was European French garage beat music. Although this song was originally made famous by Perry Como, I like this version much better. The background vocals make it great. Would fit right in a James Bond movie.

Girl bands rock! Thee Headcoatees were an all-female garage band formed in Chatham, Kent, England in 1991. They were part of the Medway scene. The members were Holly Golightly, Kyra LaRubia, Ludella Black and "Bongo" Debbie Green. This song is pure energy...
