What are you listening to?

[laffite]

I have a video I want to post but I don't remember the title of the song see if you can help.

The first line is something like "Just because you have a ring on your finger and think you cannot go out any more" Famous song, many recordings.

There is a particular vid of this song that is great.

I googled the quotes above but I did not get the title of the song.

laffite,

Could the song possibly be the 1963 hit Wives and Lovers by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and recorded by Jack Jones? It has the lyric "Don't think because there's a ring on your finger, You needn't try anymore."

Yes, you got it. Thanks. I posted the below link at least a couple times in TCMWorld and was thinking about this morning.

. . . I posted the below link at least a couple times in TCMWorld and was thinking about this morning.

I love Wives and Lovers (ditto Roses and Lollipops).

Regarding Cécile McLorin Salvant's rendition, she was interviewed by Fresh Air host Terry Gross who described Wives and Lovers as "one of the all-time, like, sexist songs" and doesn't "know how this particular song happened" by the "fabulous songwriting team" of Burt Bacharach and Hal David and asked Salvant "why in the world" she recorded it.

Feminists who get their undies in a bunch and foam at the mouth about "sexist" stuff that existed before "Womens Lib" (e.g., Wives and Lovers and Barbie) set my teeth on edge.

I listened to that very album on vinyl! I still listen to JACK JONES and have a collection CD I enjoy.

I haven't listened to HOLE. They were good... much more Pop on that record. The cover reminds me of Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables...


They did a good job mixing the more pop sounding songs with the more punky ones. The albums are
very solid with little filler. The background of the cover is a bit reminiscent of that of the first X album.

"Wooden Ships" is one of my very favorite songs. It makes me happy someone else is listening to it, too!

Wow, I just read that David Crosby has just passed away. What a beautiful singing voice he had.

Thought of Los Angeles second... HOLE were a band I might listen to. It was in the 90s I got less interested in records and bought few.
