Thanks, everyone. Hawaiian: He Mele Lahui Hawaii. Written by the Princess, before becoming Queen Liliuokalani. This song served for a number of years as the Anthem for the Hawaiian Kingdom before it was illegally annexed by the U.S.A. Her uncle replaced this one with Hawaii Ponoi. The tune is lovingly haunting to me.The harmonies!!! Performed by the Rose Ensemble.
Joe Bonamassa and the crew playing FREDDY KING, SONNY THOMPSON: "Someday After A While (You'll Be Sorry") From the LIVE IN AMSTERDAM concert, 2013, with Beth Hart. Great LOUD Intro.
Anybody watched Springstein’s “Western Stars” video? Thinking of buying or renting at Amazon.
@Dr. Venture. Thanks for the helpful suggestion. I’m traveling and the VPN kicks on if using what Norton deems an “insecure network.” However, I cannot remember it causing UTube not to load in the past. Probably a recent change on Google’s part.

You are welcome.
I have been a Springsteen fan, since almost the start. I have a framed copy of the "Greetings from Asbury Park" vinyl on one the wall, one side of my dartboard, and Thin Lizzy "Bad Reputation", on the opposite side.
So, yes on Western Stars. Quite a road from Rosalita to a Western homage!
I'm a big Bruce Springsteen fan. I especially like his early albums: The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, Born To Run, Darkness On the Edge of Town and The River. Born to Run is one of my all-time favorite rock albums — it's hard to believe it was released in 1975!

Funky, bluesy and banging piano.
Some good soul, blues, and jazz.

If I had to pick a single Springsteen song, it would be Incident on 57nd Street
Other similar songs that you may like are Jungleland and Thunder Road
And if you are interested in the Western Stars, I would suggest Springsteen's Nebraska album. He tends to be genre bending in his musical evolutions.
I especially like his early albums: The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, Born To Run,
Darkness On the Edge of Town and The River.
Born to Run is one of my all-time favorite rock albums — it's hard to believe it was released in 1975!
I was fortunate to see Los Lobos playing a small venue in the late 80s.
It was quite an experience!
