recorded the song “Alexander`s Ragtime Band”. Together they made Ivring Berlin`s song a hit. Ragtime music was generally associated with African Americans‚ but many people enjoyed this type of music. At the beginning of the song‚ Jolson and Crosby talk back and forth and they both continue this pattern while singing. I initially had a hard time hearing the difference between the voices until I heard Jolson and Crosby say each other’s name. They are talking about who is going to start the song. Bing Crosby

Even though this isn’t actually Billy Withers himself I think the song does him some justice. The song “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Billy and covered by Octavius Womack is easily one of my favorite songs. I listened to the cover version since it was one of the most popular versions of the song on youtube I could find when searching and I liked it a bit more than the version that made me search for it on the radio. What originally got me into blues music was the fact that I had just started driving and

I do a lot of things that require commitment‚ such as homework and sports. When

In the song “Ooh Ahh” By: Grits it gives a specific message of thankfulness and worship to God. I choose this song because of its catchy hook‚ and of course it’s wonderful message about God and how we should look for him in our own lives.

The lyrics also gives me a sense of sadness in the realization that so many girls are effected by societies expectation and the anxiety it causes. the opening
