A to Z Song Challenge: L is for Lady in my Life


Michael Jackson.  I think I was 10-years-old when I decided that my favorite aunt would marry Michael Jackson.  Yes, I was one who had the perfect poster of him in the bright yellow vest plastered on my wall.  I was completely and utterly in love with him.  In fact, when he sang "Say Say Say" with Paul McCartney I just knew he was talking about me.  You know that line, "And I love you endlessly"?  I thought he said, "And I love you AND Leslie!"  LOL 

It is only fitting that he is somewhere on this list.  Although I could find a song by him that love in every letter, I chose this one.  It is ONE of my favorites of all time, by any artist.  It's a bonus that it's MJ.

So....

A to Z Song Challenge: K is for Kiss of Life



There must have been an angel by my side

Something Heavenly led me to you

Look at the sky, it’s the color of love

There must have been an angel by my side

Something Heavenly came down from above

He led me to you


This is a love song that truly inspires me.  It makes me smile just to hear it.  The music and the words are what we all hope for when we think of falling in love with that special person.  We all look for that one person who gives us the kiss of life.

A to Z Song Challenge: J is for Just Fine

I was freshman in college when Mary J. Blige entered the scene with her “What’s the 411?” album.  I was an instant fan.  Her songs seemed to bring out many emotions.  In fact, many of her tunes could be on this countdown, but I chose one of the more upbeat ones.  
 
“I won’t change my life, my life is just fine.”  It felt good, as a fan, to hear her belt out those lyrics.
