CAFFE` LATTE`
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS

#310 ALL OF MY LIFE Barbra Streisand
In 1996, Barbra Streisand's new film 'The Mirror Has Two Faces' hit cinemas. The motion picture starred the singer, Jeff Bridges, Pierce Brosnan and Lauren Bacall. The romantic comedy's soundtrack featured music composed by Marvin Hamlisch. The film's hit song was "I Finally Found Someone", a duet Streisand recorded with Bryan Adams. That song is based around the love theme composed by Streisand and Hamlisch.
"All of my Life" is a solo approach by Streisand of the same love theme. Unlike the duet with Adams, Streisand sings lyrics penned by the husband and wife team of Alan and Marilyn Bergman. "All of my Life" is not heard during the film, but was added to the album as a bonus track. The song deals with the long wait to find a soulmate.
Streisand produced the soundtrack and directed the film. Bacall collected a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for her Best Supporting Actress in the box office hit film. Streisand herself was also nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Actress (Musical / Comedy) category.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new songs are added each day (every 12 hours) with an expanded edition coming soon!

CAFFE` LATTE`
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS

#311 HE'S SO SHY Pointer Sisters
The Pointer Sisters recorded "He's So Shy" for their 1980 album 'Special Things'. The song, initially known as "She's So Shy", was written by Tom Snow and Cynthia Weil. As Ruth Pointer revealed to me during an interview, the girl group switched the gender to suit them. Richard Perry produced the track. It became the LP's big hit once released as a single. "He's So Shy" reached #3 in America, 1 in New Zealand, 11 in Australia and 14 in Canada.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.

#312 ONE NIGHT ONLY (DISCO) Beyonce' with Sharon Leal & Anika Noni Rose
In 2006, Beyonce' starred in the film version of the musical "Dreamgirls". Most of the original stage version's songs were included in the film. "One Night Only" was from the show which premiered on Broadway in 1981. The song was written by Henry Krieger and Tom Eyen.
Earlier in the film, Jennifer Hudson performs a more soulful interpretation of "One Night Only". The "disco" version, sung by Deena Jones (Beyonce' Knowles) and The Dreams (Sharon Leal and Anika Noni Rose), was produced by The Underdogs (Damon Thomas and Harvey Mason Jr) with Ritchie Jones. The plot is loosely based on the story of Motown's premier act Diana Ross & The Supremes.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.

#313 HISTORY REPEATING Propellerheads featuring Shirley Bassey
Propellerheads is a duo that formed in Bath, England in 1996 and consisted of DJs Alex Gifford and Will White. The former had played keyboards for Irish vocalist Van Morrison and saxophone for the British new wave group The Stranglers. When the time came for Gifford to record his own material, he recruited White. The local drummer agreed to form a duo.
In 1997, Propellerheads collaborated with Shirley Bassey on the Gifford composition "History Repeating". He also produced the track. The single reached #19 in the UK and 10 on the US Dance Chart. The song was included on the duo's 'Decksandrugsandrockandroll', which was released in 1998. Bassey's vocals added a cool polish to the modern dance context.

#314 PUT ON YOUR WHITE SOMBRERO Abba
"Put On Your White Sombrero" was recorded in September 1980 during the sessions for ABBA's 'Super Trouper' album. Having scored a hit in 1979 with "Chiquitita", it was decided that it was too soon to revisit a Latin American theme. Thus, the track was removed from the album by the time "Super Trouper' was unleashed in November 1980. "... Sombrero" remained in the vaults until 1994. The album's title track replaced it, being the last song cut during these sessions. Frida Lyngstad performed lead vocals on this upbeat track that was written by her bandmates Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderssson.
"... Sombrero" was finally heard by the public when included on the ABBA box set 'Thank You for the Music'. It was added to the 'Super Trouper' track listing for the remastered version issued in 1997. Ulvaeus and Andersson co-produced the recording.
