One-word song titles consisting of women's names . . .

Googling like mad kinda defeats the fun aspect of threads like this.

And I meant Them on the Gloria thing. And I stand by my U2 choice; it is undoubtedly a female name.

 

Laura -- Cahn and Van Heusen (?), covered by many, including Charlie Parker with strings.
Kim, Donna Lee -- Charlie Parker
Naima -- John Coltrane

Probably missing a bunch from the jazz club, but that's off the top of my head.

 

And so would "Ah, Leah" by Donny Iris.

 

"She," Gram Parsons

"Honey," Boby Goldsboro (ducking ....)

"Windy", the Association

 

windy was a solid pull.

 

Carlene - Phil Vassar (country guy)

 

"Valerie" -- Steve Winwood

 

I believe that every woman's name has been put into song by someone. A friend and I spent a half-hour once trying to prove that theory wrong. The power of Google mocked us. Even "Bertha" is a song by The Grateful Dead.

 

Old school.... "Diana" Paul Anka..."Eleanor" the Turtles

new school...."Verlawn" Dave Pasquarello

 

What about the worst song ever written?

Elvira -- The Oak Ridge Boys

(Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow)

 

Shannon --- Henry Gross

And it's about a deceased dog.

 

Angelyne - Gary US Bonds (written by Bruce Springsteen)

Lydia - Slaid Cleaves

Teresa - Jeff Plankenhorn
