As if it weren’t enough that Obama has finally come out supporting same-sex marriage…now Rufus Wainwright is back…and in full-on ’70s pop songsmith mode with his new Mark Ronson-produced album, “Out Of The Game.” This truly is a good day for America! For those who don’t know, Mark Ronson was the guiding force behind Amy […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera
OK, this is awkward! I don’t really like much of the music I’ve heard by Maroon 5…and I do not watch “The Voice!” (I’m an “Idol” guy!) Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to the magic of this record. Great hook…one of the best I’ve heard in years…and a beat you […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston
While I was never a huge fan of Whitney Houston, it’s hard to deny that she was superbly talented. Once again, the star making machinery brought someone to the highest of highs and then seemingly jettisoned her to the gutter when the world was through with her. Whether it was Elvis, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” by Miley Cyrus
Yup…you got that right…Miley Cyrus…and not only that, but a credible cover of this Dylan classic from the just released Amnesty International 4 CD collection “Chimes Of Freedom.” At 76 tracks, this collection of Dylan covers is all over the map with as many cool additions to the canon…”Most Of The Time” by Bettye Lavette, […]

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “It Must Be Him” by Vikki Carr
Ms. Carr was born Florencia Bisenta de Casillas Martinez Cardona in El Paso Texas and was a humanitarian regularly entertaining the troops in South Vietnam.

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "We Found Love" by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris
Song Of The Day – “We Found Love” by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris Robyn Rihanna Fenty is one sexy-hot island girl…and she can spin a pretty good tune too!

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Easy Come Easy Go” by Cass Elliot
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Easy Come Easy Go” by Cass Elliot Only in the 1960s could someone as robust as Cass Elliot become an equally big star. Sure, she had talent to burn and a set of unrivalled pipes, but in this day of the thinner than thin in showbiz, she […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Waters Of March” by Art Garfunkel
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Waters Of March” by Art Garfunkel Art Garfunkel certainly missed his calling during his post Simon & Garfunkel solo career.
