“Heart” & “Soul” Songs, Vol. 1

I recently got in my head that it'd be a brilliant idea to post songs with the words "Heart" and/or "Soul" in their titles. And it was. But there were SO MANY good songs to choose from, and this thing quickly ballooned from a probable two-parter, to maybe a three-parter, but definitely no more than a four-parter. Yeah, right! This series is going to be six posts in total, with 30 songs each time! So that you don't get too tired of these (even though they're chock full of good tunes), I'll post 'em a couple days in a row, then post something completely different for a couple of days before returning to the series. Ready...set...enjoy!  ~  JH
