Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin US

My favorite Janis Joplin song,

Anyone remember that TV series many years ago, "When the music stops" all about pop/rock stars who had died young, terrific program, esp the Janis Joplin one.

Oh, yeah, "Hey You, Get Off Of My Cloud" the Stones.

[Yorkie]

So what was the best selling Sheet Music?

I did a search on 1948 music and found this cd of 'hits' from that year (all American though)

20 Original hits by the original artists from the year 1948 on CD presented in a quality 3-part gate-fold greetings card complete with envelope and ready to send in the post.


Perfect as a gift, but these high quality recordings of ever more difficult to find tracks make these popular gifts something music collectors will want to keep for themselves too!

02. Frank Sinatra - Nature Boy
03. Louis Armstrong - A Song Was Born
04. Duke Ellington - Sultry Serenade
