Challenge Creator: Lisa Kay
It is the 25th anniversary of this wonderful coming-of-age movie, based on the novella The Body by Stephen King. The film’s title is from the song of the same name, made famous by Ben E. King.
Do you love those old songs from the Fifties and early Sixties? Want to hear them again? Each of these categories is based on the songs in this movie sound track and is hyperlinked to YouTube so you can “refresh” your memory on the lyrics. If you’re looking for the songs sung by more modern artist, feel free to search for them.
