In doing some checking at amazon.com, I ran across some more free music from some big names, including Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, Lena Horne, Herman's Hermits and The Bee Gees. Also a lot of classical music including some of the greatest composers, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi and others.
Some of the songs are very recognizable, including "God Bless the Child" and "Good Morning Heartache" by Billie Holiday, "There's a Kind of Hush" by Herman's Hermits and "Jersey Bounce" by Benny Goodman.
There are a lot of tracks available free to download. The album itself is not free and some other album tracks are available at a cost, but you can pick out the ones that you find for free and just click the download to get them gratis!
Among the ones I found:
Benny Goodman & His Orchestra "Swingtime" - 11 Free Tracks
Herman's Hermits "All the Hits Plus More" - 12 Free Tracks
Billie Holiday "Troubled Souls" - 5 Free Tracks (Plus 7 Tracks by Nina Simone)
Lena Horne "Lena" - 6 Free Tracks
The Bee Gees "The Family Album" - 8 Free Tracks
Sultans of Swing "The Hits of Dire Straits" - 6 Free Tracks
Beethoven Sonatas for Piano by Eliso Bolkvadze - 4 Free Tracks
Vivaldi "The Four Seasons" by St. Petersburg Radio - 7 Free Tracks
Mozart "A Little Night Music" by Zezerkalye Chamber Orchestra - 2 Free Tracks
Stravinsky "Rite of Spring" by Tbilisi Chamber Orchestra - 12 Free Tracks
Bach "Brandenberg Concerto" by Orchestra Opera - 1 Free Track
...and for fans of The Seven Year Itch with Marilyn Monroe:
Rachmaninov: First Quartet (unfinished) by The Russian String Quartet
So swing on over to Amazon using any of these links and start filling up your MP3, Zune or iPod...
Hint: To find some more free tracks, click on the title of any single free track when you open an album above. It'll open up a window just to that track. A little below the track information you'll see a line "Customers who bought this item also bought" and a lot of other music. Most of the items I saw listed were other free tracks that people had downloaded.
