I know the title will hurt some readers, but that is what these songs are to me! These are some of the songs that I grew up listening to with my parents. Whenever I go on a family road trip and I am in charge of aux, I will throw on these songs for everyone’s enjoyment. There’s no specific genre to this playlist, just some older songs that I happen to enjoy. I hope you enjoy them too!

The Temptations – “My Girl”

Frank Sinatra – “My Way” (2008 Remastered)
