Music is what inspires us and uplifts us, makes us want to dance and forget our troubles. Music makes us laugh and makes us cry. It is the story of our lives.

When I was just a boy, I danced to “The Twist.” When I became a teen, I dug the music of Elvis Presley. When The Beatles came out, I grew my hair long and started my own band. When I became an adult, I fell in love with the tunes of Frank Sinatra. Then I became a lifelong fan of so many other performers who carried on the same wonderful tradition. I’m not only a lifetime musician, but a proud member of The Baby Boomer generation. I love performing the songs of the single greatest generation in American history, or what I like to call, “Old School Cool.” Every time I sing these beautiful songs, suddenly all of the wonderful memories come flooding back. I hope that when you listen to them that you’ll feel the same way.

While musical tastes may come and go, here is my list of 175 timeless hits that inspired an entire generation, including Christmas, my very favorite time of the year.
