Duly noting that David Letterman hasn't come up with a list like this before, our friends at Photo District News have compiled a list of the Top 20 Songs about Photography! It a rather eclectic list covering 5 decades (from Willie Nelson to Lady Gaga!) and can you guess which were the top 3? Here they are:
#3. The Who – Pictures of Lily #2. The Cure – Pictures of You and #1. Paul Simon – Kodachrome!

It goes to show that anything that brings out great emotions results in great songs over the years. Strangely omitted are 2 of my favorites: Nickleback's "Photograph" from a couple of years ago & a super song from my youth and a great piece of advice from Rod Stewart (1974): Every Picture Tells A Story (Don't It?). What's yours? Is it on the list? Send me a note at sales@ camerawholesalers.com. We'll post some of your faves!
