"The Way That Young Lover Do" by Van Morrison from Astral Weeks. Except that's probably 6/8, so maybe I'm cheating.

Ah --- From my other fave musical, SOUTH PACIFIC by Rodgers & Hammerstein:"(I'm In Love With) A Wonderful Guy."Richard Rodgers is one of my heroes! What a sense of melody and countermelody ---Ern

Not really a "rock song," but it has a great range for a tenor voice! Fantastic melody in that one ---Plus, thinking of the exotic Liat gave me a rise in my Levi's! Ern

I was trying to come up with a 3/4 time tune that I liked, and the only tune I could think of, was one I don't like. Lionel Ritchie's, "Once, Twice, 3 Times a Lady," always revolted me. But it's in my head, not going away. Can you say HIT RECORD?
