Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)
by Doris Day 🎧😍
- This was written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston, Doris Day sang it in Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 remake of his 1934 film The Man Who Knew Too Much.
- The phrase "Que Sera, Sera" came from a 1954 movie called The Barefoot Contessa, where the family motto of the character played by Rossano Brazzi is "Che Sera, Sera." The motto in the film is Italian, but Evans and Livingston switched the "Che" to "Que" because more people spoke Spanish in the US.
- This became Doris Day's biggest hit and her signature song, but she didn't want to record it because she thought of it as a children's song. Livingston explained in Zollo's interview: "She didn't want to record it but the studio pressured her. She did it in one take and said, 'That's the last you're going to hear of this song.'"

Dancing Queen by ABBA
Released: 1976
- Written by ABBA guitarist Bjorn Ulvaeus and keyboardist Benny Andersson in the summer of 1975. They had written a good hook for a dance song, but didn’t quite know where they wanted to take it. The song was heavily inspired by George McCrae’s disco hit, “Rock Your Baby” and the drum beats on Dr. John’s album Gumbo.
- “We knew immediately it was going to be massive,” said ABBA singer Agnetha Fältskog. In fact, the first time Ulvaeus and Andersson played “Dancing Queen” for the rest of the group, Anni-Frid Lyngstad burst into tears. “And that was before me and Agnetha had even sung on it!” she said. “I knew it was absolutely the best song ABBA had ever done.”
- With over four million copies sold worldwide and over 691 million streams on Spotify, “Dancing Queen’s” iron grip on pop culture has not subsided. Whether you’re seventeen or 107, when you hear the song playing, you are always the dancing queen.

Missing someone? 🎧😔
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith
Released: 1998
- It was one of the greatest power ballads of all time. Diane Warren wrote the song, which is about treasuring every moment spent with another person. Warren found inspiration after hearing about an interview where actor James Brolin said that when his wife Barbra Streisand was away, he missed her even when he was sleeping.
- Aerosmith had been around since the 1970s, but this was by far their biggest hit and gave them a huge comeback. It was also their only number one in the US, staying on top for four weeks. It has also sold over a million copies in the UK, peaking at four.

The Story Behind “She’s Always a Woman” by Billy Joel 🥀🎧. Released : 1978- “She’s Always a Woman” is about Billy Joel’s first wife Elizabeth Weber. Besides being Joel’s wife, she was also his manager. A woman as a manager was a unique occurrence in the music industry of the 1970s. And as a result, a lot of men in the music industry considered Elizabeth to be “Unfeminine” and “Tough”. Billy Joel wrote the song to defend his wife. He implies that Elizabeth may be “tough” and “unfeminine” to people in the industry, but she’s always a woman to him. Nowadays, “She’s Always a Woman” is often interpreted as an honest love song. As a song that declares love to a woman, despite her imperfections.- Billy Joel and Elizabeth Weber married in September 1973. She was the inspiration behind Billy Joel’s “Just The Way You Are” and “She’s Always a Woman”. These love ballads couldn’t save Joel’s marriage and they eventually went through a rough divorce in 1982. At the end of the 70s, “Just The Way You Are” and “She’s Always a Woman” were staples in Billy Joel’s live shows. But after his divorce from Elizabeth Weber, he scrapped the songs from the setlist. Joel stated that he lost the passion to play the songs. In recent years he brought “She’s Always a Woman” back on the setlist, often stating “And then we got divorced” at the end of the song.- - “She’s Always a Woman” appears on Billy Joel’s fifth studio album “The Stranger” and was released as a single in 1978. The song peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also reached the charts in Canada, Belgium, and The Netherlands. In 1986, “She’s Always a Woman” entered the UK charts when the song was released as a double A-side with “Just the Way You Are”. In 2010 the song reached the UK charts again due to a cover by Fyfe Dangerfield. Joel’s original eventually reached number 29 on the UK singles chart. #love
The Story of... 'Imagine' by John Lennon Released :1971 - - Nearly 50 years later, and it's still one of the most covered songs ever, and continues to be used as a symbol of the pursuit of world peace. Lennon was inspired by several poems from wife Yoko Ono's 1964 book Grapefruit.One poem, which Capitol Records later reproduced on the back cover of the original Imagine album titled 'Cloud Piece', reads: "Imagine the clouds dripping, dig a hole in your garden to put them in." Lennon composed the song one morning in early 1971.It was written on a Steinway piano, in a bedroom at his Tittenhurst Park home in Ascot.Yoko Ono watched on as he composed the melody, chords and most of the lyrics, and nearly completed the whole song in one short writing session. In 1971, it reached number one in Canada and number three in the US. However, it wasn't released as a single in the UK until 1975, where it reached number six.After Lennon's murder in 1980, the single re-entered the UK charts, and reached number one, where it stayed for four weeks in January 1981.It was re-released as a single in the UK in 1988, peaking at number 45, and again in 1999, reaching number three.To date, it has sold over 1,640,000 copies in the UK, making it Lennon's best-selling single as a solo artist.
