| LIFE IN SOLERA | JULY 2025 | 33
HIGH NOTES
FROM KARAOKE
Music and songs that stir patriotic feelings in many of us are
all over the music spectrum. Maybe you like the fife and drums
in John Phillip Souza's classic marches or songs like Toby Keith's
"Courtesy Of e Red White & Blue." You may possibly remember
Chuck Berry's "Back In e U.S.A." or even a lost gem by Judd
Strunk "My Country."
I think most of us can agree that we share a fair amount of
respect for patriotic standards. George M. Cohan's "Yankee
Doodle Dandy" is what I believe fits the tradition of a patriotic
standard. Here is our all American top 10 songs for July 2025:
1. "God Bless e USA," Lee Greenwood
2. "God Bless America," Kate Smith
3. "e Star Spangled Banner," Whitney Houston
4. "You're A Grand Old Flag," George M. Cohan
5. "Living In America," James Brown
6. "My Country Tis Of ee," Kelly Clarkson
7. "Only In America," Brooks & Dunn
8. "Ragged Old Flag," Johnny Cash
9. "America e Beautiful," Ray Charles
10. "is Land Is Your Land," Woody Guthrie, Peter, Paul &
Mary
