What were some songs from yesteryear that you liked that had the name of a celebrity or famous person(s) in the title??? If your song is about a famous person but the name is not mentioned in the title, feel free to list it as well.

 

 

I'll start:

 

From back in my high school days. One of my faves... The singer, the actress, the song. I liked 'em all.

She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, later went by Norma Jeane Baker, then became the great Marilyn Monroe.

 

Another terrific EJ song. This tribute to the great Western hero Roy Rogers was a cut from the "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road" LP.

 

From the early eighties. TOTO paid homage to the lovely Rosanna Arquette in one of their biggest hits:

 

James Dean-Eagles

Vincent-Don McLean

Another EJ favorite of mine. "I Feel Like a Bullet(in the gun of Robert Ford)"

Levon Helm (The Band) was the inspiration for the Elton John song title "Levon"
