Wow, that's a definitive list. I remember you couldn't escape the Tapestry album by Carole King. It wouldn't make most lists, but for whatever reason "Treat Her Like A Lady" by The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose sticks in my mind from that year. Late in the year the grating Blue Swede version of "Hooked On A Feeling" came out. "Riders On The Storm" was 71 I believe. One of my favorite albums is Carol King's Tapestry. "It's Too Late Now" was a 1971 hit. I still remember riding bikes down a dirt road with my brother, with a small transistor radio shaped like a gas pump taped to my handle bars. I wanted to stop at my grandmother's house, and "It's Too Late Now" came on. I preferred BJ Thomas' version of "Hooked One Feeling," probably because I heard it first. We had an 8-track tape with his greatest hits. I loved that album when I was a wee lad, playing it over and over again. Two of my favorite songs on the album were "Circle Around the Sun," and "Most of All." A friend of mine is in a band that opened for BJ Thomas about five years ago. He said BJ could not have been more gracious to them and that he was just very down to earth and humble. For sure his version of "Hooked On A Feeling" was the real one and the original one as far as I know. His first hit was in 1966 with a solid cover of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" under the group name BJ Thomas and the Triumphs. Of course his monster hit was "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" and I liked his lesser known followup "Everybody's Out Of Town." His last big hit was 'Rock and Roll Lullaby." |

Kay and Nelson dishing dirt on Mike Mussina. Clearly not their favorite. Kind of the Trevor Bauer of his time… |

Of course. Great song. They had another hit with "Make It Easy On Yourself." Although they were from the US, they were much more popular in the UK. A lot of kids in the US thought they actually were British, which in the mid-60s worked very much in your favor. That's a song I feel Cher performed really well. I first heard it on the X-Files' episode "The Great Mutato." I just thought of a Cher song I liked. She did a version of "The Shoop Shoop Song" that was very close to the original. I recall the video was made on an aircraft carrier. |
