Levon Helm would have been 81 years old today. He was beloved as the drummer and vocalist for The Band, and in later years for his Midnight Rambles at his home in Woodstock. Drummers don't usually do much singing the way Levon did. Who else has been known to sing lead and play drums? Share your favorites and we'll spin a set after 9am.

Here's what we played:

The Carpenters "(They Long To Be) Close To You"
 
The Eagles "One of These Nights"
 
The Beatles "Act Naturally"
 
The Band "Up On Cripple Creek"
