You’re right, Jung. Bob Marley’s music is certainly inviting and peaceful. I get stock photos of paradise circulating in my head when I hear it.
I’ve never listened to him intentionally, but I had a roommate in grad school whose musical diet during the week was, as he put it, “Drix, Doors, Zep”, but every weekend he’d put that stuff away and “rastafar out” with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.
When I got my ukulele I looked up a video series on how to play it, and the first demo song was Three Little Birds, which I had never heard of. So I had to search elsewhere to find my vehicle of empowerment, which ended up being Leaving on a Jet Plane.
By the way, that’s not Natalie Wood you’re hearing; it’s Marni Nixon. She dubbed in the singing voice for her. She did the same for Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, and for Deborah Kerr in The King and I.
Also, there’s this from Wikipedia: Contrary to popular belief, the famous reggae musician Bob Marley never recorded a version of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”, as he died seven years before the song was written. Despite this, a video on YouTube entitled “Bob Marley – Don’t worry be Happy ” has over 146 million views.

It’s not rock and roll, but it’s a classic about new love:

Love isn’t in the title, but it’s definitely the subject:

I’m guessing that it was Dennis and Mike that caused all the trouble. The others probably behaved themselves.

I hadn’t heard about that, Jung. I just looked up some of the details. According to a local newspaper columnist who interviewed zoo officials, these were the “charges”:
One band member bounced a carrot off the head of a tiger.
Another band member tried to stick the head of an antelope through some iron bars.
They carried around puppies and baby chicks and would set them down in the open and walk away. -

The Association was a very underrated vocal group. They had several songs that are still very well known today, and yet you never hear or read anything about them.

That’s a very comprehensive list, Jacki. And there are links to top 100’s in lots of other categories, which would be fun to browse.
I discovered #10 just a couple of years ago, and couldn’t get it out of my head for weeks thanks to this video. Now it’s going to haunt me all over again, so I’m going to drag you down with me:

That’s an interesting one, Jacki. I had never heard it, and I tend to find songs like that. How did you first come across it?

Actually the one I posted is the banned version.

I love this song! I first heard it on the TV show “The Greatest American Hero”, along with Elton John’s Rocket Man.
