Post something "pop"

This thread is interesting to me because except for Barry Manilow and a couple of others, everything here is "rock" to me. I still think of "pop" as Perry Como, Peggy Lee, Sinatra, The Mills Brothers, Barbra Streisand, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney, Tony Bennett, et al.
Funny how definitions evolve.
For example, "As Tears Go By" by the Stones is softer and quieter than "Sooner or Later." Would you call that a "pop" song by Mick and Keith?

That's the beauty of it - it's all about what each individual considers to be "pop." That's exactly what makes the thread so interesting!:thumbsup:

What are you...100?!? :D

Much here, I would say, was played on AM Top-40 radio in the '60s/early '70s (pre-1972 Buick that came with FM radio. No way my dad woulda sprung for anything above AM).
