FATHER Figure - Songs in Celebration of Fathers
Fatherโs Day is a holiday in honor of fatherhood and paternal bonds. When attending church on Motherโs Day in 1909, Sonora Smart Dodd, who was raised with her 5 brothers by her father alone, conceived of the idea of establishing a day in celebration of fathers. In the US the day is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June. Predating the US day in honor of fathers, the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages established St. Josephโs Day to honor the first father of the Church as well as all fathers.
And some of the best dadโs in literature, according to readers polled by BookBub include Atticus Finch from โTo Kill A Mockingbird,โ Matthew Cuthbert from โAnne of Green Gables,โ and Arthur Weasley from the โHarry Potterโ book series. And great TV dads include Danny Tanner from โFull House,โ Philip Banks from โThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,โ James Evans from โGood Times,โ Gomez Addams from โThe Addams Family,โ Jason Seaver from โGrowing Pains,โ Carl Winslow from โFamily Matters,โ Mike Brady from โThe Brady Bunch,โ and Ward Cleaver from โLeave it to Beaverโ among many others. Who are your favorite literary, movie, and TV dads?

My dad passed many years ago. But not a day goes by when I don't think of him...the fun and humorous side he had. Every few months I visit his and mom's gravesite and fix it up. They deserve that kind of respect. He deserves it.
My favorite TV dad is Andy Griffith.
A good dad song is "The Living Years" by Mike And The Mechanics

Sorry for the loss of your father. Mine passed also many years ago (36 years now) at the age of 49. Too young. Agree on Andy Griffith. So great. And a single dad, no less. "The Living Years" is a great song, for the longest time unavailable digitally. Will add to this playlist - is part of the playlist tribute to my dad - see my previous blog https://listentothemusicblog.com/dance-with-my-father-big-bad-john-tribute-to-dad/
