3. "Fire & Rain" - James Taylor

 

[Uruk-Hai]

2. "We've Only Just Begun" - The Carpenters

I think this song has been the husband/wife dance in more weddings I've been to than any other. My aunt used it twice.

1. "I'll Be There" - Jackson 5

I swear to God,l that little mother ####er could sing.

Well, that's it for this week boys & girls. Until next time, hold your head up and keep reaching for the stars.

Have you been watching "Soundbreaking" on PBS. 8 part series - 4 this wk (4 in a row on right now on 1 of my PBS stations) - on the recording industry? Fabulous, including a whole section about 2 Moog guys turning Steveland onto synths and becoming his producers for that 5-disk run that i'll put against any in recording history.

Great series.

7. "Tears Of A Clown" - Miracles




 

6. "Green-eyed Lady" - Sugarloaf




 

the 60s/70s cusp in 2 songs, baby!




 

Always in any 60s/70s mix I play.

THE representative singer-songwriter song. I think its a perfect song.

Tears of a Clown, written by Stevie Wonder, is the second best "Tears" song ever. The first is "Tracks of My Tears".

Glad you enjoy it. It sucks that the nature of it - I'm posting them as they play - doesn't allow for much discussion. In years past, I've delayed posting to let a dozen or so songs get played (kind of like DVR'ing a football game to FF through the ads), but that wasn't as satisfying to me personally. I think wikkid riffing is more enjoyable than what I post anyway

Wild guess, but I think next week will be '75 or '76. Seems like it's been a while since SXM has done one of those years
