    Following up my Mrs. Dahlia's post today about music, she mentioned having music everyone would like. I thought it might be fun to start a thread for people to post their favorite "everybody knows this" songs.

    If everyone pitches in, we could have a really awesome resource for an everybody playlist for receptions!

    Post at least 3!!

    Here are mine:

    1.James Brown -- "I feel Good"

    2. Chubby Checker -- "The Twist"

    3. Ben E. King -- "Stand By Me"

    Mine have already been mentioned but what a great topic! It's already in my favorites. It'll be helpful to refer to when planning songs that must be played at the reception.
