Just found this tonite. Beautiful.
Steve Winwood - Can’t Find My Way Home (acoustic)
I put it in the Acoustic music thread, but figured it should be here, too.
ETA @Godsbrother noted that this was a 1969 song. I can remove if that makes it is offensive.
ETA2: Found this one from the 4th Traffic album, and it was released in 1970, so it fits! John Barleycorn (Must Die)

Badfinger had three moster songs in the 1970s: No Matter What, Day After Day, and my favorite "Baby Blue". They also wrote and recorded "Without You" which was a #1 hit for Nilsson in 1971 and later Mariah Carey (1994).
All four of these songs are worth a mention in this thread.

i had a radio show when that came out and we tried to do a sketch about a local story (an oil slick off the coast of Nantucket affecting the whale population) using that same format ironically, but it turned out to be too hard, so i may be the only person alive who respects Mr Jaws as art.simsarge said:
we ended up doing an interview with a fake Jacques Cousteau-type character (i remember his name was Francois Blohole & his ship was the Reggae instead of Cousteau's Calypso) about a mutant breed of whale called the Slickback caused by the spill. Then we did 3 minutes of whale sounds made to sound like Fonzie (also big then) cruisin' the whalecows. a rare & precious genius was mine...

Soooo any chance you could jump into the WikkiWayback Machine and get those three minutes of genius for a co appreciator of said art form?

i know "Slickback Whale" made it to my audition reel, but the only extant copy of that would be in my agent's files and he died last spring.
it's odd how clearly i remember this bit, because most of doing that show is a blur now. it was mostly on my producer, Mark Molloy, who became a pretty good standup locally but didnt stick it out til the boom. he talked me out of the Mr Jaws part because he thought it was more ripoff than ironic. then we improvved the Cousteau interview (a really good 25 minutes i wished we could have used more of, but that's the way we worked - idea, improv, edit) and i came up with the Slickback mutation idea during that. next day, Mark had a bunch of whale sounds he'd made that had just a hint of Fonzie/Rocky to em to match the Slickback concept. brilliant stuff, really - i'd like to hear em myself. then i guided that into a bit where a bunch of giggly girlwhales swam past the Slickbacks' corner reef, they got hooted down and talked up before adjourning to a grotto for some stanky moans. there wasn't a sound i conceived that Mark or my female voice actor, Sarah Goldman, didn't absolutely NAIL in the whalesounds bit. awww, now you got me all wanty to hear it, too. dang -
