The following errors occurred with your submission:
You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more.
Believe me, it does work. If it doesn't, you're doing it wrong. Most likely not using the right tags or not removing everything from the link before the '='.

Nice try, Neapolitan, but the music is slow and soft like the song Evergreen. The song I'm looking for is soft, mild and feminine.

I don't know what I'm doing then. I'll just get my post count up first then try the link again later on.

I don't think there is a way to load audio or video up directly here.

Sigh. You could just try again precisely following the instructions.
Just don't spam meaningless **** to get to those 15 posts, or I'll ban you.

I don't honestly know the diff between RIGHT tags and DOG tags. I don't see the connection between tags and computers except price tags on the ones displayed in Walmart.

Ok, DoctorDon, You Got Lucky to quote Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers this time, I tell myself:

Here is the sample I played on my keyboard. It's a couple of bars of piano played by me from vague memory making an attempt to emulate the melody line of the male vocals in the song so sought after. This is a rock song with a slow tempo. The slow drum beat has intermittent ring tones like hitting a tin can. The guy singing sounds white. No lyrics are remembered by me.

It was first heard by me circa May of 1983 in the San Francisco Bay Area in a Novato, CA record store. I don't know if it was a poppish sounding rock song or a rockish sounding pop song. It might have even been a pure rock song. The chords bear a remote likeness to Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith.

Ok, I confess humbly, I goofed the first time. Now hopefully some good people here, the music gods willing, are able to help me out trying to identify these long-lost songs that have me losing precious beauty sleep in my old age. I would try my darndest to help others if I could.
