I know these two songs have nothing to do with one another, but whenever I listen to Bobby "Blue" Bland's Turn on Your Love Light I end up with Neil Diamond in my head, imploring me to Turn on Your Heart Light. I just can't help it.
Now, Mr. Diamond doesn't make horrible music. He was my first concert at the age of seven so he has a special place of nostalgia in my heart, if not on my playlist. But he's not Bobby Bland. Of course, I'm not posting a round of You Pick the Winner to tell you which song is better.
Have a listen to the two and cast your vote: would you rather turn on your love light or your heart light? I've love to hear why, as well.
