I hope you have better luck with this one by Harry Nilsson from 1972:


Without You was described by Paul MacCartney as "the killer song of all time."
It had originally been recorded by Badfinger, one of the first signings to the Beatles’ Apple Records.

1972 was a bit of a traumatic year for me. I remember this song quite well and it is one of my favorites.

I am sorry to hear it was such a bad year for you... this one is also from '72:


“Lean On Me" was a number 1 hit and is likely Bill Withers’ most popular and best-known song.

It was the year that I first joined the military. I was 17 years old at the time. This was near the end of the Viet Nam War. Also, my girlfriend ditched me for my best friend. A few years later I met this friend. This was after their divorce. He said that he was sorry for what he had done. I told him that he spared me years of anguish as he took my place and actually did me a favor.

R.I.P. Susan Wojcicki. July 5, 1968 to August 9, 2024

American business executive who was the chief executive officer of YouTube from 2014 to 2023.
Wojcicki joined Google in 1999 as its 16th employee and played a significant role in the company's
early growth, including overseeing the acquisition of YouTube in 2006. Under her leadership, YouTube
expanded significantly, becoming one of the most influential platforms for video sharing globally. Her
net worth was estimated at $765 million in 2022. She passed at the age of 56 after a battle with lung cancer.


Thus, any song from youtube in tribute to her will do. Something from the sixties, let's choose her birth year: 1968.


Though truthfully I do prefer Juice Newton's 1981 rendition


I sang this song at karaoke in the early 90s quite a bit...

@TabinRivCA I should have said, Babs was fabs LOL

My mother took me to see Funny Girl when it came out. It seems it was one of her traditions:
take a daughter to a movie or two when the daughter "comes of age." I lucked out with that, for
I also saw Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet with my mother. My youngest sister says she did not
fare so well with the life-long trauma that accompanied seeing Planet of the Apes LOLOLOLOLOLOL


This song highlights Babs' sense of humor.

All 'round talented and a movie fave for sure. She certainly had the pipes also, and though her music was not
normally to my tastes, I cannot deny that she really could sing, and I did buy a greatest hits or something along
those lines, for the song, A Woman in Love, which was written by Barry and Robin Gibb and released in 1980...


PS ~ I continued the mother/daughter tradition and took my own daughter to see the Spice Girls' movie Spice World .:giggle:
