Coven - One tin soldier (with lyrics)
This is a lost classic from around 1970. It's kind of tacky but great for kids to sing along with.

Listen, children, to a story That was written long ago, 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley-folk below. On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath the stone, And the valley-people...
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Cher "Love Hurts"
Not really a fan of Cher because of her dropping a dime on Gregg Allman, but music is music and she does sing well...

Kashmir and covers of it
One is Jethro Tull with Lucia Micareli. I know my rule is "best for last" but not this time. This combo kicks ass! Next will be Led Zeppelin and then Alter Bridge. All are awesome versions but I like the Tull/Lucia the most for the speed of the playing.

Leon Russell (Wild Horses)
Below is from Termite58 on YouTube.
Leon Russell (born Claude Russell Bridges on April 2, 1942 in Lawton, Oklahoma, United States) is a singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist. Russell attended Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
First known mostly as a session musician, Russell has played with artists as varied as Jerry Lee Lewis, Phil Spector, Joe Cocker, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Elton John, BB King, Freddie King, Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman, The Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Badfinger, Tijuana Brass, J.J. Cale, David Gates, Frank Sinatra, The Band, Marc Benno, Edgar and Johnny Winter, Glen Campbell, Gary Busey, Jesse Ed Davis, and The Rolling Stones. With a solo career spanning the genres of rock, blues, and gospel, Russell began his musical career at 14 in Tulsa nightclubs. Two years later, after settling in Los Angeles, he studied guitar with James Burton, and worked sessions with Dorsey Burnette and Glen Campbell.
After becoming a part of Phil Spector's studio group, Russell played backup on many of the most popular hits of the 1960s, including The Byrds, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Bobby "Boris" Pickett and Herb Alpert. He also served as Snuff Garrett's assistant on numerous productions. Russell built his own recording studio in 1967, and recorded his first LP, Look Inside the Asylum Choir, in a collaboration with Marc Benno.
His first songwriting hit was Joe Cocker's 1969 version of "Delta Lady", and Russell went on to organise Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. The Russell-written "Superstar", sung by Rita Coolidge on that tour, would go on to be a big hit by The Carpenters, Luther Vandross, and others. Shortly thereafter, Russell released a solo album, Leon Russell, which included the original version of the popular "A Song for You". Also in 1970, Russell played piano on Dave Mason's album, Alone Together (notably, on the song "Sad and Deep as You").
During the 1960s and 1970s, Russell owned the Church Recording Studio on 3rd Street in Tulsa, which is now owned by Glen Mitchell and one-time Russell studio engineer Steve Ripley of the country band The Tractors. Russell still records there frequently, while his former home on Grand Lake, in northeast Oklahoma, still contains the famous dining room table and chairs made from church pews from his Church Studio. On the property stands a private recording studio that has seen many famous names, including members of The Beatles.
In the summer of 1971 Russell was asked by George Harrison to play piano on Badfinger's third album, Straight Up. The piano which complements George Harrison's slide guitar on Badfinger's radio hit "Day After Day" is played by Leon from those Apple sessions. The sessions were interrupted because many of the musicians on Straight Up left for New York City to participate in the Concert For Bangladesh, organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, at which Russell performed a memorable medley of the songs "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Young Blood".

Cher And Elijah - Crimson & Clover
Cher and her son Elijah Blue Allman performed the song as a duet for the soundtrack to A Walk On The Moon (1999). This is a song by Tommy James and the Shondells. It was one of the biggest hits of the 1960s and reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1969.
Genghis Khan a Nomad and a damn Great King!
Genghis Khan (pronounced /ˈdʒɛŋɡɪs ˈkɑːn/ or /ˈɡɛŋɡɪs ˈkɑːn/[1]; Mongolian: Чингис Хан, Chinggis Khaan}}, IPA: [tʃiŋɡɪs χaːŋ](
listen); Činggis Qaγan; c. 1162[2]–1227), born 
Temüjin (help·info) (meaning "ironworker"[3]), was the founder, Khan (ruler) and Khagan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous empire in history.
He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he started the Mongol invasions and raids of the Kara-Khitan Khanate, Caucasus, Khwarezmid Empire, Western Xia and Jin dynasties. During his life, the Mongol Empire eventually occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia.
Before Genghis Khan died, he assigned Ogedei Khan as his successor and split his empire into khanates among his sons and grandsons. He died in 1227 after defeating the Tanguts. He was buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in Mongolia at a location unknown. His descendants went on to stretch the Mongol Empire across most of Eurasia by conquering and/or creating vassal states out of all of modern-day China, Korea, the Caucasus, Central Asian countries, and substantial portions of modern Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Post for you.
You never read anything you don't like but...
You are the biggest problem I ever met.
You create your own reality and lies to you are common standard.
Nothing about you is real, except the bullshit aspect.
You "say" you want "nothing" but how is it that it ends with you having "everything"?
You "claim" you were abused and hurt, but... I think if that were so you wouldn't "abuse and hurt".
Your notions are motions to create speculation and lie.
Everyone see's this. That is why you are failing in everything in life.
You are greed beyond measure, need even more than you can carry.
You are excessive in fairy tales, you fight for months to win a lie.
You are judgmental towards others like you think you have the rights!
You dishonor everything, your own family, mine and ours.
You are discipline with no mercy, law without shame.
A liar of exactly everything and a weakness all the same.
In a moment of judgment I'd kill you if I could,
but memories respect you, only reason I give you my time.
Should severance find you you'll live alone on the streets.
Would honesty find you. I would cry also at your defeat.
Wisdom if found you then my prayers answered well
Ignorance owns you, arrogance as well!!!
In stony step and measures you will fail or you succeed.
Not on soft paths you walk on with lies and bullshit greed.
It gets cold out and hard sometimes but a mile is still a mile.
Learn to walk befoore you die because soon it's too late.....

Lost my love....
I lost my love on silent snow
In fields we walked across the plain's.
On narrow shores I took her from,
Was from the East I think...
She fell so silent into the snow,
not a sound made hearsay, not an utter moaned.
was wind coming from the East,
could hear it coming but couldn't see.
The scent of fragrances in her hair.
Her clothing wet now
I felt it then.
Was , was something inside me I lay'd down too
Next, near her, beside her I fell down too...
What is one life for judgment if not both judged the same?
In the silent snow we both lay
In ecco of reason the truth become past.
I fell in love and it finally came to pass.....

Why I LOVE dance...
This blew me away...
Best for last...
"Fields of Gold as interpreted in Ice Dance by Michelle Kwan "
Best for last...
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
I really don't like his bullshit aspects, but the guy was a fantastic dancer....
And...
