Songs By Chuck & Nancy


No...not THAT Chuck & Nancy! That would be tuneless, boring, and likely insufferable. These songs are by actual singers and/or musicians (with one amateur exception), several of whom you might have actually heard of. So don't freak out...just enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Chuck Berry  ~  "Sweet Little Sixteen"




2)  Nancy Sinatra  ~  "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"




3)  Chuck Wicks  ~  "Stealing Cinderella"




4)  Nancy Wilson  ~  "The Very Thought Of You"




5)  Chuck Brown  ~  "Wind Me Up!"




6)  Nancy LaMott  ~  "Time After Time"




7)  Chuck D ft. Mavis Staples  ~  "Give We The Pride"




8)  Nancy Shoop-Wu  ~  "Pulelehua"




9)  Chuck Mangione  ~  "Feels So Good"




10)  Nanci Griffith  ~  "I Wish It Would Rain"




11)  Chuck Woolery  ~  "You've Made Me So Very Happy"  (Yes, the game show host Chuck Woolery!)




12)  Nancy Ajram  ~  "Ah W Noss"  (Huh! Lebanese pop isn't half bad. I mean, I don't know what she's singing about. But it sure sounds nice!)




13)  Chuck Fenda  ~  "It Hard"




14)  Nancy Reagan  ~  "Thanks For The Memories"  (Calling this "singing" may be a bit of a stretch, but there is music involved and she's saying words over it. Close enough!)




15)  Chuck & Nancy  ~  "Boondocks"  (This is literally two random people named Chuck and Nancy, covering a Little Big Town song at some undisclosed location. Chuck's got a pretty good voice, for the most part, but Nancy could benefit from a few vocal lessons.)




BONUS TRACK:  Chuck Norris  ~  "Eyes Of A Ranger"  (How could I forget the most famous Chuck on the planet???)
