"Only" Songs

I love picking a really broad theme – or, in this case, songs with a really common word in the titles – for a post (or series). When there are, literally, hundreds of songs to choose from, the chances are good that the majority of the songs I'll gather are: a) well-known by most folks; and b) of the highest quality. Such is the case these "Only" Songs. And yes, there will be more to come in the next couple of days. Enjoy!  ~  JH
