@tc_morekindness Once again, thank you for your kind words. I could have chosen a lot of songs from this year. It was hard narrowing it down to just the four.I have a real soft spot for the Stones during the Brian Jones years.They were never the same after he departed IMO.

@tc_morekindness West Side Story really is just great song after great song after great song …

@reinodeboer #LifetimePlaylist 
#1961West Side Story — Something’s Cominghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOQPMjKLQQUMoon River — Henry Mancinihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcp0nXoxX8QStranger on the Shore — Acker Bilkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2pCVFX5emsThose were easy; picking #4 was harder. I could go with more songs from West Side Story (as @tc_morekindness did) or Stand By Me (as @Wintergr33n listed) or Sukiyaki (as you listed) or Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis. But I'll go with this one:Exodus — Ferrante & Teicherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ-P6n2MYps(Yes, I know how problematic the movie is to many folks. The song is still amazing, and an instrumental version that's not from the soundtrack avoids some of the concerns.)
