Life is a path lit only by the light of those I’ve loved …
“Jam,” Michael Jackson
“James,” Huffamoose
“James Bond Theme,” Leroy Holmes
“Jamey’s Got the Blues,” Randy Stonehill
“Jane Says,” Jane’s Addiction
“Jangling Jack,” Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
“Janie Jones,” The Clash
“Jasper Johns,” Twitchen Vibes
“Jayne’s Blue Wish,” Tom Waits
“Jazzman,” Carole King
Since this list starts with Michael Jackson, here’s a bonus link to his favorite song. (That’s Janelle Monae singing a Charlie Chaplin tune — spanning a century of American artistic genius.)
After an unfortunate string of bottom-tier Randy Stonehill songs cropping up in these weekly alphabetical slices, today we at least get some middle-tier Stonehill. Hmm, maybe when we get to the U’s, we can arrange it to include “Until Your Love Broke Through.”
