For My Son

 

My Son, My Son (2005 Remaster) · Eddie Calvert

 "My Son, My Son", a tune that was first released in October 1954 and took sixty years to make sense to me. Since then every day, like today, comes to my mind and its lyrics, especially with the voice of the unforgettable Vera Lynn, perfectly express what I feel .

Monday's Song : Daddy Cool - Eagle Rock [1971]

Today’s song comes from Australia and Daddy Cool’s debut LP “Daddy Who? Daddy Cool”, which was released in July 1971, reached number 1 and became the first Australian album to sell more than 100,000 copies.

The group's name came from the 1957 song "Daddy Cool" by US rock group The Rays. Daddy Cool included their version of this song on Daddy Who? Daddy Cool.

Watch the original song by The Rays:

 

It is said that Elton John, who toured Australia during 1972, was so inspired by Daddy Cool's hit single "Eagle Rock" that, with lyricist Bernie Taupin, wrote “Crocodile Rock”
