This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #AskAQuestion. Somehow, sadly, this question seems just as relevant today as it was back in 1970:
Larry Sanders (The Prophet of Soul): Where Did Peace Go (1970)

@revivalrecords@cupoftea.social It may also be worth noting that the song was co-written by Neil Sedaka, who passed away a few days ago.
The Wikipedia article for this song has a nice account of how it ended up being recorded by Francis:

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #RobinHood. The first song that I came up with has bows and arrows, but it's not about Robin Hood:
Sam Cooke: Cupid (1961)

@kimmosaaskilahti@mementomori.social Kiitokset muistin virkistyksestä, laitoin albumin pitkästä aikaa soimaan!
Tämä oli aikoinaan ensimmäinen Velvet Underground -LP, jonka ostin omaksi - lähinnä kai siksi että se tuli ensimmäisenä vastaan jossain levykaupassa. Joka tapauksessa tätä tuli kuunneltua paljon. Omia suosikkejani olivat myös "I'm Beginning to See the Light" ja "After Hours". Tai oikeastaan voisi mainita erikseen melkein kaikki kappaleet.
Saattaa tosin olla, että minulla oli jo ennen tätä yhtyeen eka LP luokkakaverin (sittemmin valokuvataiteilijana kunnostautunut Marco Melander!) nauhoittamana kasetilla - en enää muista missä järjestyksessä tämä meni.

Another pick for this week's #TuneTuesday theme, #thebubble. This otherworldly early seventies classic is probably a fairly obvious choice for a Finn:
Pekka Streng & Tasavallan presidentti: Sisältäni portin löysin (1970)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP1tcsVoFOU
Pekka Streng (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pekka_Streng) was still a quite obscure cult figure during my teenage years in the early 1980s. I think I may have read about him in Esko Lehtonen's "Suomalaisen rockin tietosanakirja" ("The Encyclopedia of Finnish Rock") before I actually heard this record for the first time on the radio. I do remember that bought a reissue version of his second album ("Kesämaa", 1972) at the very first record fair I ever attended, at Lepakkoluola in Helsinki back in 1987.

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #thebubble, songs that make you forget everything around you.
Somewhat paradoxically - given the lyrical content - this one does it for me:
Marvin Gaye: What's Going On (1971)

@Wintergr33n@lingo.lol Or the ghost of Glen Campbell made...?
There is a great 2014 documentary film of Campbell's last tour ("I'll Be Me", https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049586/) which was later shown on one of the Finnish TV channels. Although I've always liked him, this film made me appreciate him quite a bit more.

Another pick for this week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme, #FireSmokeAndHeat.
The Willows: Sit By The Fire (1964)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmEoDnRp6kc
This very enjoyable Drifters soundalike was issued on the short-lived Heidi record label. Distributed by Atlantic Records, it was a showcase for the productions of Tom Dowd and Bert Keyes, and if my memory serves me right, it may have been owned by them.

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #DentistsAndTeeth. The first thing that came into my mind is Dinah Washington's ode to her dentist, who she would like to visit every day:
Dinah Washington: Long John Blues (1949)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3kwdM_puAs
The song was issued as the flip side of "Baby Get Lost", one of Washington's #1 R&B hits, but it also charted on its own, peaking at #3 on the Billboard R&B Jukebox chart.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Thanks for the posts! Looks like I only have four of the albums on vinyl and another four on CD.
But I do have much of the other material in slightly different packages, and except for two or three artists on the list, I think I'm at least somewhat familiar with all of them.
