Patriotism is coursing through America’s veins today, so it seems appropriate to give a #MusicMonday nod to our country. While this list isn’t anywhere near comprehensive, hopefully it will put you in the American spirit. Enjoy!

Take it away, Whitney…

Whitney Houston – “The Star Spangled Banner”

John Mellencamp – “Pink Houses”
