Louis Armstrong/ What a wonderful world
What a happy and knowing song. Forgetting about the troubles of the world and just focusing on the little joys. One of many hits by Louis Armstrong. Repeatedly featured in commercials, tv shows, and movies. A song that is so memorable that we had to give it our number one spot.

Judy Garland/ Over the Rainbow
A beautiful masterful song. Judy Garland performing it in The Wizard of Oz. It became one of her signature hits. Brillant singer and actress. No one has come close to singing it like her since, except IZ.

Whitney Houston/ I will always love you
One of the greatest love songs of all time. Beautifully sung by one of the world’s greatest singers. Taken from the Bodyguard soundtrack. A classic by Dolly Parton, Whitney made the song her own. Another hit by the singer/actress along with the rest of her music.

Sir Mix-a-Lot/ Baby Got Back

Tina Turner/ Proud Mary
An awesome singer and dancer. Also an actress, spanning many hits. Proud Mary is a song that people will definitely stick with her. Though the classic was remade by her own version.

Chessy and smart. Funny and fun especially for girls. Freedom and Independence for young and young at heart women everywhere. The song is one of her memorable and signature songs out of all the rest. Lauper has always been different and a good singer

Terrific R&B Singer, dancer, actor, spanning many hits etc. Nice & Slow is probably one of his best & memorable hits. When it first came out, a lot of people was playing that jam.

Aaliyah/Are you that somebody
Great R&B song. Very stylish and hip. Tight beat and one of the late Aaliyah’s best. As a singer/dancer/actress, she was in the middle of her prime until her untimely death. She had an unique way of mixing R&B/Hip Hop/Pop in her songs. She will surely be missed.
