No additions since my last post in August. I was singing this song to myself this morning, and the version I heard was Linda’s. I wouldn’t have dumped her if she hadn’t been so damned liberal.
…which reminded me of this great performance, Hoyt Axton and Linda. The video isn’t perfect, but the audio sure is. Their voices harmonized beautifully.

Started to post Joan Jett's remake of this on the '80s music thread one day; then dug around to find the original. Studio group with Tony Orlando singing lead (about a year before Dawn).
Back several pages ago, there was a video of Mark Lindsay solo..here he is fronting the group.
There are some better audio vids of this one, but I like the group scenes from American Bandstand.
Not sure I saw this one earlier, but the tune that introduced us to Linda Ronstadt.

RIP, Roberta Flack. She passed at age 88 today. I remember this performance best of her work.

I read this earlier. Sad to hear it.

This is probably my favorite Paul Simon song, although he wrote so many great ones.
Album released January, 1970, technically the last year of the decade of the 60s.

Have been tempted to put a plug in for Bridge Over Troubled Water in the Masterpiece Albums.

I was a young kid when it came out, but I remember when my sister bought the Bridge Over Troubled Water album. She recorded it from a little portable turntable (I'm not sure why she didn't use mom and dad's hi-fi) to a cassette recorder on the kitchen table one evening. 55 years later and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Apparently I'll never forget it.
Great music.

This is the only song from this band that I like. It largely refrains from their usual falsetto vocals.

My parents played this a lot when I was a kid.

A number of his tunes were hits on both the Top 40 and Country charts back in the day. I just learned when reading some of the comments that Johnny passed on April 1.

Picked up a decent copy of BTOII on Saturday (RSD). I passed on Taylor Swift and the Wicked soundtrack
They were actually playing it in the store when I came across another VG (imo) copy. Takes one back.
