I wouldn't have remembered what that Bobby Sherman tune sounded likeor any Bobby Sherman tune, but a few years ago I downloaded a bunch of Bobby Sherman (along with some other stuff like that) out of nostalgic curiosity because one of my sisters liked him a lot at the time. I dug him a lot more than I expected to, including "Easy Come, Easy Go". Most of his material was very crafty in terms of the arrangements, the playing from the studio musicians, etc.

Merle Haggard's "The Fightin' Side of Me" doesn't convey my views but by golly it sure did convey those of millions of people. And for that reason I think it's a great song. The divide the late Mr Haggard points to in that number, and in "Okie from Muskogee", has relevance today.

Probably about 35 of the top 100 for that year that I don't recall from the title or don't remember well enoughincluding four of your picks (The Moments, The Original Caste, Five Man Electrical Band & Freda Payne), but the rest I like.
For three of artists I mentioned above I don't recall their names at all. The Original Caste is the only name I remember. But going back to 1970 we're getting to when I was 7 to 8 years old, so there will be more that I only have a vague memory of at this point, unless I continued to listen to whatever it is later (either voluntarily or because it had legs as a radio staple). -

Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime was no.1 when I was born, & that's a truly terrible song; it even advocates drink-driving.
The Crapenters? Are you serious? Even if you don't like their particular brand of cosiness there's no denying that she was a talented drummer with a beautiful voice, & he an extremely talented songwriter, pianist & arranger. -

No denying Karen
s talent as a drummer, less convinced about Richards talent in the fields you mention. As for Karens voice, beauty is in the ear of the listener. I dont like her voice at all.

I already apologized to you for listing "Crocodile Rock" on another thread.
And mostly dope? "The Greatest Discovery" is coma-inducing saccharine.
Anyway, we made peace so long ago that it`s not kind for either of us to re-open old wounds this close to the edge of oblivion.
