Essential Hip Music
What songs are "must haves" for a music lovers MP3 player?
I like all kinds of music so feel free with your suggestions. My player currently has everything on it ie classical, pop, R&B, rock and hip-hop and that's the way I like it! I just want to make sure that I am not missing any "essentials".
Here are some all-time greats that others probably won't mention:
Fats Waller "Ain't Misbehavin' "
Bessie Smith "T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness if I Do"
Benny Goodman "Sing, Sing, Sing"
Billie Holiday "God Bless the Child"
Hank Williams Sr. "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
Leadbelly "The Midnight Special"
Jimmie Davis "You Are My Sunshine"
Nat "King" Cole "Route 66"
Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five "Saturday Night Fish Fry"
Elvis Presley "Mystery Train"
Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy"
The Crickets "Not Fade Away"
Peggy Lee "Fever"
Lloyd Price "Stagger Lee"
Julie London "Cry Me a River"
George Jones "White Lightning"
The Platters "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"
Jimmy Cliff "Many Rivers to Cross"
Love "Alone Again, Or"
Aretha Franklin "I Never Loved a Man The Way I Love You"
The Buzzcocks "Ever Fallen in Love?"
The Only Ones "Another Girl, Another Planet"
Jellyfish "Baby's Coming Back"
