"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"

I'm currently reading Carole King's Memoir: "Carole King-A Natural Woman". She has been such an
inspiration to me growing up.  Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and my Mom were like superheroes. They still are to me, even as an adult. Being such strong, independent, women of the earth, what else could I ask for in a role model, eh?  I found this picture on-line and thought it fitting for the time-period of the writing of this song. late 1950s.  What a perfect anthem.
  I added a few of my own little parts to this song. I hope you like them!
Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and originally recorded by The Shirelles. It has been recorded by many artists and was ranked among Rolling Stone 's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time at #126. The song is notable for being the first song by an all-girl group to reach #1 in the United States. The song is in AABA form.
**Using the name Bertell Dache, Tony Orlando recorded an answer song: "Not just Tomorrow, But Always"**

'Dancing With Myself' 
~Billy Idol~
Thank you Billy Idol, for this song...
THE dance anthem for me growing up. I always danced, as if no one was watching... I probably looked like an idiot most of the time, limbs flailing around, Butt length brown hair flying in peoples faces (if there were even people on the dance floor).
Growing up in a radio studio, (my mom was a DJ/ Station Manager at local radio station for a good portion of my childhood) exposed me to so much music... especially that of the alternative/punk rock genre.
I remember going to Daddy Daughter dances with my dad and making up the craaaaziest footwork/ dance moves when I was 7 or 8. This song reminds me of all of those times.
Don't be afraid to dance with yourself/ be free spirited and enjoy each moment to the absolute Fullest!! I have to remember that more as an adult, sometimes... I think we all do. :)
PS-I always thought the lyrics were:
"If I had the Chance, I'd TEACH THE WORLD TO DANCE"
It wasn't until TODAY that I realized the real words, which are...:
"If I had the chance I'd ASK THE ONE TO DANCE"
Sometimes you like your version better, eh? hahah
ENJOY! :)
