One of my favourite tracks, for deeply personal reasons. In 1966 I was a first year undergraduate living in lodgings with a family in Manchester, England. The young daughter bought the record as a gift for my birthday.
Peter,
Music does that best, stirs the memories. Even some songs from when I was a kid carry my memories and experiences. Four Strong Winds was a song I loved. When I was in Ghana, my friend bought a guitar, and a few off us would sit outside after dinner and sing. I can still close my eyes and see and hear us singing that song.
I agree. There are many tracks that can do this for me. Spotify is one of the benefits of the internet. Also, my wife and I occasionally try to play (guitar & uke) and sing some of our favourite oldies. In the UK there is a radio station, Boom Radio, that caters to our age group’s musical memories.

Peter,
I listen to a similar radio station here. I also always sing along!
I have learned to play many songs on my uke. It is so fun to sing and play!!
