A Start of a Fathers' Day Playlist

In honor of Fathers' Day, I have compiled the rudiments of a playlist of Songs That Daddy Musicians Have Written For Their Children.


Billy Joel - "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" - This song was written by Billy Joel for his daughter, Alexa Ray, who is now grown and is a musician in her own right. It is taken from his circa 1993 album "River of Dreams".


John Lennon - "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" - The song John wrote for Sean, his son with Yoko Ono. Recorded for Lennon's last album, "Double Fantasy". This is not the version that appears on the album, but it was the closest I could find on YouTube.


Bob Marley - "Nice Time" - According to Cedella Marley -- Bob Marley's oldest daughter -- her nickname among the family as a child was "Nice Time", and this song was written in part for her. This song was not released on any of Bob Marley's "official" studio albums, but it can be found on several Marley compilations, including "Songs of Freedom".

(Note: As always, click the album titles to purchase these albums via my Amazon.com Associate store!)
