Little Richard did it, and it was the theme song to the movie "Dollars". I'm not sure of the title--might be "Money, Money, Money" or "Money's on My Mind" or "Dollars" or "Theme From Dollars"........

Well, if you want the truth, one of my all-time favorites was:

IF I DIDN'T HAVE A DIME
(B.Russell/P.Medley)
As recorded by Gene Pitney, 1962.

If I didn't have a dime,
And I didn't take the time
To play the jukebox
Whoa-o-o Saturday night
Would have been a sad and lonely night
For me.

And if you weren't standing there
Ruby lips and golden hair,
Beside the jukebox
Whoa-o-o I'd have lost my chance
To hold you while you danced
With me, umm hum

While the records turned and turned
We danced and learned,
Our hearts had yearned
For this.
Neath the moon we walked
And walked and talked
Of love, and then...we kissed

Now with every sweet caress
Oh my darlin' how I blessed
That little juke box.
Whoa-o-o love songs that they sing
Wouldn't mean a single thing
Even though you're standing there
Ruby lips and golden hair
If I didn't have a dime
And I didn't take the time
To play the jukebox...

repeat above verse

Second to that would be "Me and My Uncle."

As any good folksinger knows, we measure our success by the degree we are enjoying peace, health and love..

As I turn 50, however, I occasionally consider those limited resources of time and MONEY!!!!

I'm I alone here? There are a lot of songs dealing with this topic. What are some of your favorites??
