Songs written about or inspired by a woman in the composer’s life have been a major part of the world of music going back to the classical era. During the first two decades of Rock and Roll, songwriters such as Neil Diamond (“Sweet Caroline”), Roy Orbison (“Oh, Pretty Woman”), Buddy Holly (Peggy Sue), and Crosby, Stills and Nash (“Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”) continued this tradition and, in so doing, were responsible for some of the most famous songs of the era. Explore the backstories behind the ladies referenced in the song titles and how and why they inspired so many wonderful numbers that continue to live on to this day. Led by Rich Knox, a retired school teacher and administrator, who lectures on musicals, films, and opera to libraries across the country.
