Born on this day

Posted on April 21, 2024

Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays! This week’s challenge is to build your song picks around April-born singers, songwriters, or musicians.

I picked a single artist, Paul Lavon Davis, born April 21,1948.  The American singer, songwriter was known for his hits from the 70s. I only knew him as a pop singer but his career crossed genres.  His songwriting gave him a few #1 country hits. 

In the playlist, the first five tracks are singles and the last four tracks are #1 country duets and a country single.  

Tracks: 1. I Go Crazy 2. Cool Night 3. ’65 Love Affair 4. Sweet Life 5. Do Right 6. You’re Still New To Me (Marie Osmond & Davis) 7. I Won’t Take Less Than Your Love (Tanya Tucker with Paul Overstreet & Davis) 8. Meet Me in Montana (Marie Osmond & Dan Seals) 9. Bop (Dan Seals)

 

“I Go Crazy” I remember well and I totally forgot about his hit songs. He recorded “Ride ‘Em Cowboy” in 1974 and it peaked #4 on Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, #23 on Billboard Hot 100, and #47 on the Country chart.  His country songs never reached my ears.  Davis died April 22, 2008, just one day after his 60th birthday from a heart attack.

 

 

Okay, you’re next. Who or what did you pick? I can’t wait to hear!

 

This is a music link up.  Your post must contain at least one song or your URL is marked “No Music”.

 

The 4M co-hostess are featured in my right side bar underneath the banner. The guidelines are simple.  Every other week, a suggested (not mandatory) theme is given to build your song picks. YouTube and other music sites have options to create and embed playlists or individual songs into your post. On the off weeks, we dance to whatever music moves you (your choice)! To access the party, add your music post below, and visit others on the dance floor. Let the party begin!

    … Davis died April 22, 2008, just one day after his 60th birthday from a heart attack.

    Wow! That’s kind of interesting. And such a shame that he died so young. I know he was “young” because I’m now almost 5 years older than he was when he died, and I am STILL YOUNG(-ish). 😉

    Paul Davis! I had forgotten all about him, and I loved I Go Crazy and ’65 Love Affair so much when they came out. I never knew he was a country singer; I very much enjoyed his duet with Tanya Tucker. Another star who died too young, he had such a pleasant voice. Alana ramblinwitham

      Hi Cathy loved your post and I hope you are well.
      It’s always such a loss when someone dies so young especially when they are a great talent like Paul Davis . Thank you for your great playlist 💜💜
