Sue, not in my book. The original recorder of the song is who I would consider the original artist.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!
'War Stories'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

...Back to the research salt mines then.

I've finished my mix: all twenty categories covered, total timing 79 minutes 42 seconds! Is anyone else cutting it closer to the bone than that?
I don't believe in guilty pleasures either, so I'm using my selection to, er, critique the category. I encourage others similarly to take advantage of every opporunity to (1) cheat, and (2) be pretentious!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'll check...
I know I had to shave the pause time down to burn it.

"When the world's run by fools it's the duty of intelligence to disobey." Martin Firrell
Picking a song from my birth year (one that isn't guaranteed to have people shedding tears of lunacy, laughter, depression, or as a precursor to their head exploding) has been one of the tougher tasks.
A few (seriously there's quite a few more of these classics) of the rejected chart-toppers are,
- Onward Christian Soldiers
- Just A Closer Walk With Thee
- Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport
- Little Boy Lost
- Running Bear
and
- A Summer Place
I know where you're coming from DX.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
moonlit, were you born in 1960? There's good stuff from then. Ray Charles is a good bet from that era.

moonlit, what's the problem with "Tie Me Kangaroo Down," or have you already chosen that as your "local" song? ;-)

Bingo Hec. There's also Elvis, Everly Brothers, and Orbison, all such tear-jerker songs, The Shadows, oh and Teeny, Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
and My Old Man's A Dustman.
I did think about it Angus and also the tragic Little Boy Lost
Hee.

12 CDs, msbelle? Hmm, that's rather more of an undertaking than one! But I do have this thread on my message center now. OTOH, I feel rather not up to the task when realizing the company I'm in!

You only have to compile one CD. It's a big circle. You pass on your CD to the person on your right. The person on your left passes you a CD which you copy for yourself (if you like) and then pass on to the person on your right. This continues until you get your own CD back.
