Flashback Friday: Nina Simone - Feeling Good (1965)


Well, Flashback Friday is officially back, thanks to the 327 of you that voted to keep it (more like 5). Here's an all-time classic, Feeling Good by Nina Simone. If you don't know who Nina Simone is, you've probably heard at least one song of hers in your life without knowing it.

She's a musical pioneer in jazz and soul music, and believe me, this is just one of her many classics. Her rendition of this song is definitely my favorite. So sit back and start a fire (actually, probably not since it's 100 degrees in this bitch). Stream and link after the jump.

Flashback Friday: Kool & The Gang - Hollywood Swinging (1974)


Seriously one of the funkiest, swankiest songs of all-time, Hollywood Swingin' is just one of those tracks that is timeless. Kool & The Gang are one of the pioneers of music, creating classic cut one after the other. I'm sure you can recognize this song from multiple outlets, more recently in GTA: San Andreas haha.

Stream and download link after jump.

Flashback Friday: Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight (1997)


Apparently I just like gimmicky ideas for this blog, but I came up with another one: Flashback Friday. I have a lot of songs that I've accumulated over the years as random hits from the 90's as well as even earlier. This is one of those hits. One of those alternative hits, that have the perfect amount of pop sprinkled in.

I honestly had thought Eagle-Eye Cherry was the name of this band, but apparently it's the artist's real name. Shame. But what's not a shame is the fact that this may be one of my favorite songs of all time. Sing in the car and/or sing it with your boo (they love that shit). Video and download link below.
