I saw your reply and didn’t look too closely at the link title. I was quite confused at first because I thought it said “Beach Boys”.

Sad to see Grover Washington Jr. leaving the jukebox. Pip's six degrees of Grover remains on the record.
Remember everyone gets one free play of their choosing after round #40.

No spotlighting! (For a 1974 cult album that isn't divided into individual songs (and is not Jethro Tull))

8.19 You Haven't Done Nothin' - Stevie Wonder (1974)
Song about Nixon, but applicable today #nopoliticsforum
B-Side does not fit.
"Jackson 5, join along with me, say: Doo da ***!"

Wilson would seem to have been the perfect guy to head up Berry Gordy's stable of artists. Jackie was already a star when Gordy started his recording business, unlike everyone else on the roster. And Gordy co-wrote the song above.
Maybe they hated each other in spite of their shared success? I'm sure Gordy was already showing signs of the supreme (hah!) ####### he'd become, but maybe the Motown structure would have helped Jackie. Or maybe Jackie's out-of-the-studio problems scared Gordy off.
It's always been one of rock's great "what if?"s to me.

Once again I get a New York artist singing about NYC. Love it when a plan comes together. Of course as Mike Tyson once said...

Dammmmm ...going to be so many tough choices for a bunch of years coming up.
Odd fact: Buffalo Springfield only had one single that cracked the top 40 ...and would therefore technically qualify as a one-hit wonder???
BUT I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT. To call them a one-hit wonder would be a disgrace. Simey might say a "Two-Hit Wonder".
I can't take the main one-hit wonder in 1967 because I have taken this song in multiple drafts - timepieces n' fruit kind of thing
tough choice between two songs here ...but I'm going
8.22: Expressway To Your Heart - The Soul Survivors - 1967
I remember the song as a kid, but fell in love with it all over again after Daryl and Todd opened with it on their first Daryl's House appearance. The Philly sound by two Philly boys.

Philly in the house!
When I was in high school in 1987-ish, Electric Factory, the city's biggest concert promoter, held an anniversary celebration at the Spectrum. Acts included those they booked in the old days such as Spirit, The Chambers Brothers, Iron Butterfly, Dave Mason and Spencer Davis. There was also a segment which featured local Philly talent from the past 20 years. During that, those guys came out to perform this song.

8.24 - Harry Nilsson - Without You (1971)
I'm a little iffy on the b-side Gotta Get Up and need to listen to it a few more times, but what the heck, I'll take it.
This is the song I was going to dedicate to @wikkidpissah last round, as I was certain he had commented recently on this vocal performance, but now I don't see that post. Did I dream that? In any case, it's phenomenal. This isn't my usual style of music, but that vocal...
Harry Nilsson of course had many connections to the Beatles, including being a big part of John's alcohol and drug-infused "Lost Weekend" (which was actually a period of 18 months). On the collaboration side, Nilsson provided vocals on Ringo's Ringo and Goodnight Vienna albums, and John produced Nilsson's ##### Cats album, on which Ringo also played drums. In addition, Nilsson worked with Paul and John, if you can call it work, on what became the horrible album A Toot and a Snore '74.

i simply cant believe its 32 years since this Boston busker hit w this. oy...
as i've recounted on several occasions, the first few years of my life, me Da got paid monthly, which led to me Ma doing her main shopping monthly at one of them new-fangled supermarkets. at the checkout, impulse racks offered 29¢ 45 singles or children's storybooks. dont think i ever got a book. every time my single pick was chuck berry or little richard, me Da would toss it out and pretty soon me Ma learned how to edit. for some reason, this was the first black non-crooner who was allowed to take a place in the li'l 45s box Da made me.

Wow. I'm really happy with that last pick going into the juke. Can't believe someone sampled Metallica, of all bands to sample. Heh.

i thought i said sumn on the subject too, but all i could find was the link to "Without You" in @Bracie Smathers 2nd Top 100 of 1971 thread with "perhaps the best pop vocal ever" on the link. Nilsson was the embodiment of Lennon's ego and i think John wanted him to be his new Paul but the synthesis wasnt there. the synthesis wasnt there for anyone w Harry, from what i hear - one of the most difficult music people ever. thx for the dedication thought anyway, Casey

Always an interesting question why some artists crossover to acceptance with older audiences and some don’t. I wonder how much of it was looks. Jackie was just much cleaner and more traditionally good looking than Berry or Little Richard. There’s also something rather aggressive about the way Berry and Little Richard play their instruments that doesn’t come off in Jackie Wilson’s music...at least to my ear.

I saw Metallica back around '92 or '93. Guns'N'Roses was touring with them, and it seems like there was a third band too. This is when I lived in Florida.

If that particular show (Monsters of Rock, I believe it was called) went off without a several hour delay or non-riot, you guys got really lucky. Especially lucky since it was Florida, and we all know that good things go to get bad in Florida, bad things go to get off the chain.

There were riots during the show, especially during Guns'N'Roses. Also, one of the people that I was with had her shirt ripped off. At least that is what she claimed happened. The show was at the Citrus Bowl, and she went down to the floor area near the stage, and when she came back up later her shirt was in shreds, and she was basically just wearing her bra at that point. She said it was ripped off of her. She was a weirdo though, so maybe it was or maybe she ripped it off herself. There was a lot fighting going on down there.

Yeah, that happened at a lot of the G N'R shows that tour. They wouldn't show up on time to play, it was hot, concessions were expensive generally, people sat around in the heat waiting. The crowd was overwhelmingly male and testosterone-laden and amped up. All of that.
I would not doubt her shirt got ripped off of her. See: Woodstock '99, various other piles of male (and possibly but to a much lesser extent female) idiocy and lack of control with respect to that stuff.

We had one here (South Side Johnny) recently at the Monmouth Race Track. Unless I had a convertible I'm not sure I want to sit in a car in the summer but I may be desperate enough to see live music soon.

That actually sounds awesome, but I can see your issues with the heat. I had a convertible without a working top. That sucked. Never get one again. That's apropos of nothing, but seemingly relevant. It was so nice, when it worked, to roll around town listening to music with the top down. I hope the passer-bys didn't mind.

I owe everyone a huge apology, as when I wrote about the collaborations I neglected to mention this multiple Oscar-winning film (did not confirm this but am assuming) starring Ringo and Nilsson.

I saw one drive-in on the news where they let people sit in camping chairs beside their cars, and they were a good distance away from other other cars. If people will be confined to their vehicles on a hot southern night in late August at this AB concert, I will not want to be there. I'm not sure what the setup will be like, and how many people will be allowed.

That movie has several rock'n'rollers in it. I guess Harry was the Son of Dracula. "Later, attempts were made to market the movie, but as Starr later said, ‘No one would take it.’
