Randy’s Rarities

As I was perusing my digital music collection the other day I noticed several songs I had not listened to in quite some time. Not only that, they are songs which the artists are unknown to most and at best very little heard from. Most of them are from the 50’s thru 70’s, not surprisingly as that makes up most of the music anyway. So I thought I would run a series on these songs, and artists, some charted a song or two but many did not reach a national let alone international level of success. Most had very short and yet others had surprisingly long careers.

There is a reason I have these songs, some I found through cover versions and I backtracked to find the originals others have a relationship to another artist perhaps. Others I just happened to like. Some readers will no doubt recall a tune or two but there’s a reason I am calling them Randy’s Rarities. I hope you enjoy the music.

  3. Dust off those long buried hidden gems for us Randy. Personal taste, in the end, is what drives our love of music. And if you’re the only other one who appreciates ‘A Lover’s Concerto’ by the magical and sadly misunderstood Mrs Miller, so be it. (Man, can that gal scat!)
