Welcome back to #MarcosPlaylist and #SaturdaySingalong with another song from the playlist I made for my grandson in August 2020 on Spotify, when he was just a few days old. I chose my favourite songs with a mellow rhythm to sing to him, dance with him cradled in my arms and perhaps send him to sleep, or at least calm him down!
Today I’m featuring What the world needs now, a wonderful song composed by the great Burt Bacharach and made famous by the singer, Jackie DeShannon in 1965, when I was six years old!
Jackie has recently launched a remasterised Anthology of her songs including hits such as Lonely Girl. She’s also famous for composing Grammy Award Winning Song, Bette Davis Eyes, in 1974, although the song was made famous by singer, Kim Carnes.
Again, I love the calming rhythm and uplifting lyrics as I singalong with Marcos! Here’s the spotify link:
This post, tanka and playlist is dedicated to my now eleven-week old grandson, Marcos.
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love, honest love,
Like a mother’s love,
You don’t need to reach the stars,
Just enjoy and share the love.
