On May 16, 1963 at the fifth annual Grammy Awards, Ray Charles won Best R&B Recording with โI Canโt Stop Loving You.โ On this day in 1966 The Beach Boys released their landmark album Pet Sounds, which included the song โYou Still Believe In Me.โ This day in 1970 Randy Bachman left The Guess Who and recruited at Joe Walshโs suggestion Winnipeg bassist and vocalist C.F. Turner to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive, with eventual hits โYou Ainโt Seen Nothinโ Yetโ and โHey You.โ And in 1987 on this day, U2 scored their first US #1 hit โWith Or Without Youโ from the album The Joshua Tree.
What do these seemingly random facts have in common apart from occurring on the same date? The song titles all contain the word โYou,โ which is the theme of this weekโs playlists. The task of creating playlists for You proved almost as daunting as that for the word Love highlighted in my November 6 playlists โSilly LOVE Songsโ and โA Groovy Kind Of LOVE,โ with the You lists containing over 250 songs, and Love lists 350 songs. And the songs are simply amazing, ranging from the songs above to Gagaโs โYou And I,โ The Stonesโ โYou Canโt Always Get What You Want,โ Joe Jacksonโs โYou Canโt Get What You Want,โ The Frayโs โYou Found Me,โ Bon Joviโs โYou Give Love A Bad Name,โ Fleetwood Macโs โYou Make Loving Fun,โ Billy Joelโs โYou May Be Right.โ The Beatlesโ โYou Never Give Me Your Money,โ Hot Chocolateโs โYou Sexy Thing,โ AC/DCโs โYou Shook Me All Night Longโ The list goes on and on. Every song just fantastic.
With such a common, popular word in song titles, I obviously couldnโt include them all, lest you would be listening forever. Hopefully I didnโt miss any of your favorites. There are almost 18 hours of spectacular You songs that you wonโt want to miss. Great to listen to on your runs, workouts at the gym, long car rides, the songs can occupy your music listening time for quite a while.

I hope that this music and my blog truly serve as a โrevival: a new presentation of something old,โ a springboard to return to the music of your youth, or perhaps to find artists you want to discover anew. Rediscover the passion of music in your life. Live in the moment. Enjoy the moment. Love the moment. Listen to the MUSIC!
Yes, that is a big topic! There are a lot of songs on there that I really like, but I would have a few others, as well.

Sorry if I duplicated any on your list. With so many of them, I couldโve missed a few. And itโs almost impossible to stop!
Who Are You and Rock You Like A Hurricane were already on the lists. Can't believe I forgot You Better You Bet, You Were On My Mind, You Belong To Me, You Wear It Well, and Still Loving You - all added. Have added the others, will give a listen, see if they make the cut ๐
Thanks for the input. Great songs.
Quite the undertaking, a playlist with โyouโ
in it. That being said, there are more songs
Iโd add (if it was my list):
Iโm happy to see my fav Fab 4๏ธโฃ song, which is
โAll you need is loveโ but they have at least 17
more songs with you in it. Unless maybe
youโre planning a Fab 4๏ธโฃ playlist down
the road ๐ค๐ค
These are some of my fav โYouโ songs that
didnโt make the cut:
Without you, Nilsson (consummate You song)
You donโt know me, Ray Charles
Baby, itโs you, Shirelles
Follow you follow me, Genesis
Wish you were here, Pink Floyd
By Fleetwood Mac:
As long as you follow
Only over you
Say you love me
Say you will
I donโt want to live without you, Foreigner
By Tom Petty:
You donโt know how it feels
Depending on you
Just between you and me, Lou Gramm
๐ผ๐
Again, can't believe I forgot Without You - added - As for Fab Four, I did already include You Never Give Me Your Money, All You Need Is Love, Do You Want To Know A Secret, From Me To You, Got To Get You Into My Life, PS I Love You, She Loves You; John Lennon's I'm Losing You and Whatever Gets You Through The Night. Will research more Beatles tunes..
