I had to Google for the answers...
“Heat of the Summer” - I would have never had gotten that one.
“Baby You’ve Been On My Mind” - I am a BIG fan of the songwriter but missed this one. In my Google search, I discovered Linda Ronstadt did a cover.
I absolutely loved Linda from her beginning roots when she recorded a song written by a “Monkey” whose mother invented “Liquid Paper”. But when she teamed up with Paul McCartney’s ex-girlfriend’s brother, she became a major star.
Linda R. Questions:
1. Which Monkey wrote Linda’s first hit?
2. Who was Linda’s producer with the McCartney connection (and was a part of a British Duo that had some hits themselves including a song written by Del Shannon?
Good grief...I had waaay too much coffee this morning...
Just heard that the founder and leader for Earth, Wind and Fire passed away after a long bout with Parkinson. I loved that group! Great dancing music!!
Wasn’t Mickey Dolenz it was the other guy, with the stocking cap, who apparently was involved with a lot of people. Very talented.

Listen to the words. It could have been written about Baltimore or any of the other riots last year.
