M will be for The Man That Got Away, performed by Judy Garland in A Star is Born. One scene, no cuts, incidentally. I'll get back in my closet now.
I've posted this band, but I don't think it was this video: Lovebettie: Hello Stranger The singer and guitar player took one of my classes when they were in college students. She was nice and quite smart... But you'd never have guessed that she'd be able to front a band.
A is for BAltimorA - TArzAn Boy Love me some greAt ItAlo Disco. MOD NOTE: an A is basically an upside down V with a line added, so we'll allow Baltimora here in the V slot - welcome to the thread Ruh7!
W is for a terrific Civil Rights anthem by Nina Simone, who did not originate "I Wish I Would Know How It Would Feel to Be Free" but made it matter even more in the 1960s and 70s when she started singing it in concert.
Oh sorry haha did not know it was used lol haha. You are too rad. X is for Xavier Rudd for adding non-Xenophobic tone to his music by playing aboriginal music with his own style. Xavier Rudd - Follow the Sun
Been wanting to post this one for awhile (hence pointedly skipping the letters and numbers, because someone will snag A if I wait). Of all the 1980s-era collaborations, this was the song which really rocked. It's Artists United Against Apartheid with "Sun City"
Aside from liking the song and the video, my first thought was always just how awkward Joey Ramone's cameo looks.
Francesco Di Giacomo, the voice of prog rock's band Banco del Mutuo Soccorso died yesterday in a car accident, RIP Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Il giardino del mago - a) passo dopo passo... b) Chi ride e chi geme... c) Coi capelli sciolti al vento... d) Compenetrazione...
F is for Famous by Nick Helm Taken from the BBC3 comedy 'Uncle' which has just finished it's 1st season. Enjoyable show aided by the performances of Helm and the young Elliot Speller-Gillott and Helm's musical ditties. Beware the language is NSFW
I is for I Want You to Want Me | The Holmes Brothers Holy Moly. It's a gorgeous piano gospel ballad. Hat tip to @Footix
