Taxi - Harry Chapin

[NativeSon]

A truly beautiful song.

Nina Simone tells a different story with her version. https://youtu.be/rDuy874spGg

[al baby]

love it

[CommerceComet]

No man, "Good ol' Boys Like Me" and "Maggie's Dream".

Might be your favorites but not mine. The former is a good song, the latter isn't, IMO.

Jim Morrison: (feebly) I’m not dead!
Cart-master: (suprised) What?
Man: Nothing! Here’s your ninepence....
Jim Morrison: I’m not dead!
Cart-master: ‘Ere! ‘E says ‘e’s not dead!
Man: Yes he is.
Jim Morrison: I’m not!
Cart-master: ‘E isn’t?
Man: Well... he will be soon— he’s very ill...
Jim Morrison: I’m getting better!
Man: No you’re not, you’ll be stone dead in a moment.
Cart-master: I can’t take ‘im like that! It’s against regulations!
Jim Morrison: I don’t want to go on the cart....
Man: Oh, don’t be such a baby.
Cart-master: I can’t take ‘im....
Jim Morrison: I feel fine!
Man: Well, do us a favor...
Cart-master: I can’t!
Man: Can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long...
Cart-master: No, gotta get to Robinson’s, they lost nine today.
Man: Well, when’s your next round?
Cart-master: Thursday.
Jim Morrison: I think I’ll go for a walk....
Man: You’re not fooling anyone, you know—
(to Cart-master) Look, isn’t there something you can do...?
Jim Morrison: I feel happy! I feel happy!

Man was underrated but all over the place

[dfwgator]

You could definitely see the influence Alex had on Bon Scott.

More Trouble Everday

[Fiji Hill]

Before he hung up forever, Jim turned his attention away from that woman on the phone, and towards the Lord, as he sang a completely different song:
"Take My Hand, Precious Lord, Lead Me Home" - Jim Reeves

That song was written in 1932 by Thomas "Georgia Tom" Dorsey following the death of his wife. Dorsey is the pianist on Deep Moaning Blues by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey and the Tub Jug Washboard Band (1928), which is a much bigger hit in the Internet era than it was when it was originally released.

Lonely in Love....Dan Fogelberg

[Songcraft]

That song sounded like sweet blues.   Those jug bands used improvised musical instruments from odds and ends they had laying around, right?   (I think I heard a big tub being thumped in there, among other exotic "musical instruments"!)   Those harmonies by the background "choir" were also nice, as was Dorsey's piano.

After reading your post, I looked around a little, and found out that Mr. Dorsey also wrote "Peace In The Valley".   If I'm not mistaken, these two clips feature him singing his own famous songs.

       "Precious Lord" - Thomas Dorsey

       "(There'll Be) Peace In The Valley" - Thomas A. Dorsey with R. H. Harris

Anything that Karen Carpenter sang

A true natural born singer. No one like her.

One I like that won't fit because he also recorded Dang Me and several more novelty Tunes but Little Green Apples by Roger Miller was a touching song.

[TruthWillWin]

Everyday by Buddy Holly. It was the song on the flip side of the Peggy Sue 45.
