Yesterday's KLAW Classic was from a mother/daughter duo. Today's is a famous daughter of a famous mother, Dottie West.
Shelly West looks so much like her momma! She has success in country music as a duet partner with David Frizzell. (You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma), and today's KLAW Classic was the only other #1 in her career...
Famous cousin to Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggert, and pretty darn good piano player, that's one way to describe Mickey Gilley.
Another is as the singer for today's KLAW Classic. The song is a lament about loneliness and late-night desperation in finding a desirable significant other in a barroom...
I love it when we can find rare videos for our KLAW Classics.
This has always been one of my favorite tunes. The slow motion of the Waltz echoes through the song! Alibis was the second number one for Lawrence after 'Sticks and Stones'.
"Piece of My Heart" is a romantic love song originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. The song came to greater mainstream attention when Big Brother and the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin on lead vocals) had a much bigger hit with it.
A baby boom is any period marked by a greatly increased birth rate. In this song penned by one half of this real life brother duo, David Bellamy speaks to a time long gone...growing up on Mickey Mouse and hula hoops.
