"Power" Songs, Vol. 1

Here's a bunch of great songs with the word  "Power" in their titles. Because sometimes power is a good thing, right? Of course, sometimes it is WAY NOT a good thing. A lot depends on who's wielding it. There's more of these coming, by the way. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Billie Eilish ~  "Your Power"

2)  Indigo Girls  ~  "Power Of Two"

3)  Patti Smith  ~  "People Have The Power"

4)  Kat Graham  ~  "Power"

5)  Marina  ~  "Power & Control"

6)  Little Mix ft. Stormzy  ~  "Power"

7)  SNAP!  ~  "The Power"

8)  Madonna  ~  "The Power Of Good-Bye"

9)  Jennifer Rush  ~  "The Power Of Love"

10)  Diana Ross  ~  "Force Behind The Power"

11)  Dusty Springfield  ~  "Love Power"

12)  Eurythmics  ~  "Power To The Meek"

13)  Tonight Alive  ~  "Power Of One"

14)  Laura Branigan ~  "The Power Of Love"  (When you hear this song, you  might be thinking, "Isn't this the same song as #9 above?" And it is, but Branigan belts it out with more soul than Jennifer Rush and maybe even more power than Celine Dion [#25 below], so all three versions are present and accounted for here. For the record, Branigan released her version 3 years after Rush but 6 years before Dion.)

15)  Gabrielle Aplin  ~  "The Power Of Love"  (No, this is not the same song as the other "Power of Love" versions, but it's a fantastic tune in its own right.)

16)  Kari Jobe  ~  "Oh The Power"

17)  Katy Perry  ~  "Power"

18)  SOKO  ~  "You Have A Power On Me"

19)  Cher  ~  "The Power"

20)  Lauren Daigle  ~  "Power To Redeem"

21)  Within Temptation  ~  "The Power Of Love"

22)  Belle and Sebastian  ~  "The Power Of Three"

23)  Olivia Newton-John  ~  "The Power Of Now"

24)  Beyoncé ft. Nija, Busiswa, Yemi Alade, Tierra Whack, Moonchild Sanelly, & DJ Lag  ~  "My Power"

25)  Celine Dion  ~  "The Power Of Love"  (This is the more popular, better-known version of Jennifer Rush's song [#9 above], but Rush recorded it nine years earlier – and to great success worldwide, I might add.)

MC Hammer's & Céline Dion's Greatest Hits

Today, two iconic artists are celebrating their birthdays. So I thought it only fitting to put together a retrospective of their best and most well-known hit songs in one post. Never mind that these artists have completely different styles. Without further delay, it's Hammer Time! And it's also Queen of Pop Time. So...enjoy!  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  It seemed redundant to put the artist's name before the title of the song here as I normally do. But honestly, if you can't tell whose song it is you probably need to get both your hearing and your vision checked.
