My song today is ‘Feels Like I’m In Love.’ This song was recorded by the Scottish singer, Kelly Marie. It reached Number 1 on the ‘UK Single’s Chart’ in September 1980. The song was written by Ray Dorset and Mungo Jerry. The song was originally intended for Elvis Presley who recorded it in 1977 but he died before it was released. When it was originally released on Pye Records in 1979, the song was a sleeper hit on the Scottish club scene before breaking through nationally in the summer of 1980, before reaching the top of the ‘UK Singles Chart’. The following year, aided by several remixes, the song became a club hit in the US, reaching Number 10 on the US ‘Hot Dance Club Play Chart’.

Love and Peace

FROM TOMORROW, JUNE 26th, 2021, MY WIFE SHEILA shall ASSUMES ALL MY FUTURE POSTS, WHICH WILL LARGELY CONSTITUTE PUTTING UP MY DAILY SONG ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE.

My aim throughout my period of illness has always been, that if possible, if I could die from my home bed that we would have it happen this way.

From tomorrow, my wife will manage my Facebook page daily, as I am no longer able to, As my body weakens daily, I am having a hospital bed imported into my house today, as my time fast approaches. Thank you all for being my friend. The one message that I leave you and hope that you remember me for is "Love is love, Love is the living embodiment of you, and you are less than you can ever be unless you keep your love flowing. thank you all for being my dear friends.

Love and peace
Bill
