Music Thread (post a song)

I loved the music of Billy Stewart. I wonder if that clip comes from The Raiders' TV show, "Happening '68." Here's one by Etta James that definitely is from that show ... observe the enthusiasm of the audience.


As for summer songs, here's my favorite.
 
In the song, Tequila by the Del
Tortes, how many times is tequila mentioned?
 
I find a lot to like in this one, behind the obvious Willie and Lyle.

This is a song LL wrote, and Willie cut on his sublime "Across the Borderline" album. I was listening to a podcast lately and they talked about how this album helped pull Willie out of a bad trajectory - he'd been the butt of late night jokes with his IRS issues. He was on trajectory to be a legacy/Branson type artist, and this album, produced by Don Was, helped correct that.

Bonus points to Lyle for wearing a FFA jacket from his hometown.

I've heard Lyle talk about how much Willie cutting two of his songs meant to him, and I think that you can feel that in this performance. I love the way he backs off on harmony for Willie.
 
One of my favorite 90s tunes a one-hit wonder based around a 1920s trumpet riff (also featured in a recent Dua Lipa song)
