On You Tube,
listen to three songs:
"Done Too Soon" by Neil Diamond -- 1970
"Life Is A Rock (but the radio rolled me)" by Reunion -- 1974
"We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel -- 1989.
---------------------------
Similar topics and expressed in a similar writing-style: sort of a fast -- list -- of people and /or things -- places, events....
Interesting -- wonder if Reunion was influenced by the Neil Diamond song, and wonder if Billy Joel was influenced by both of the previous numbers -- maybe Neil Diamond was inspired by a song which came before 1970 that I haven't discovered yet!
("nothing new under the sun"...)
-------------------------
And early this evening I was informed and introduced to an (apparently) famous recording by one Clarence Carter.
Great, jumping censorship boards!
Holy Ladies' Auxiliary!
