Bruce Hornsby - The Valley Road.  The song is just so upbeat, it makes me feel good.  I especially like to listen while watching the video on Youtube, watching people from all walks of life bopping to the music, and watching Hornsby's fingers dancing across the keyboard.

For me, a youg man coming of age in the early 70s, it has to be "Chevy Van", written and sung by Sammy Johns.  I love to turn that one up!!

That's a great one!  I love that one too.  When I was dating my Dan, his car wasn't working, so he walked from his apartment in the next town to my apartment and I remember him acting out the song and I laughed so hard.
