  1. This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #WindowsAndDoors. Although this tune isn't one of my top Jackie DeShannon or Bacharach/David favorites, it is an obvious choice for this theme:

  2. "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" is a song originally performed in 1969 by #JackieDeShannon, who composed it with her brother Randy Myers and #JimmyHoliday. In the U.S., it was DeShannon's highest-charting hit, reaching number 4 on the #Hot100 in August 1969 and number 2 on the #AdultContemporary chart. In late 1969, the song reached number 1 on South Africa's hit parade. The song rivalled the success of her #signatureSong, "#WhatTheWorldNeedsNowIsLove". In 1988.

    “Some things take so long
    But how do I explain
    When not too many people
    Can see we’re all the same
    And because of all their tears
    Their eyes can’t hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn’t it a pity”

  19. I saw her today
    I saw her face
    It was a face I 🥰
    & I knew I had to 🏃🏾 away
    & get down on my 🧎🏾‍♂️
    & 🙏🏾 that they go away
    & still it begins
    #needlesandpins🪡
    Because of all my pride
    The 😢 I gotta hide
    Hey, I thought I was smart
    I won her ❤️
    I didn't think I'd do
    But now I see
    She's worse to him than me
