This was mine,The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun (Live 1970)
Love to Love You Baby - Donna Summer - the 18 minute long version!
Love to Love You Baby - Donna Summer - the 18 minute long version!
Richard Carpenter happened to hear a commercial while he was in California, from Crocker Bank. It was called The Wedding. Here it is:
His musicians ear readily identified that this song could be huge, and that it was probably written by Paul Williams. He reached out to Paul. Paul DID write the song. The rest is history.
I have that album. Good stuff! Haven't listened to it in years, need to give it a spin again.
There is a roadhouse-bar/restaurant/pool hall here in the midst of nowhere owned by an old hippie redneck-like most of us around here-who is a classic rock collector like no one I’ve ever seen-the jukebox has every rock and country tune from 1964 to the present, I swear. The place is trashy and dilapidated, dimly lit-a typical redneck & biker bar-the clientele cowboys, bikers and old hippies, the food healthy and fresh but not great, the beer and wine is cold, and all cheap-but it is worth going there just to drop a few bucks in the jukebox, pick your old favorites and jam-usually other customers will jam with you-it is a great place...
None.
Here are some of my favorites:
I Know Youre Out There Somewhere
The Moody Blues ruled the 70's ... and, to me, still do.
I had to look it up the year but the Byrds’ first released “Chestnut Mare” in 1970. Lovely song.
One of the greatest jazz tunes every recorded, “Spanish Key” by Miles Davis

L-O-L-A.
1970 was a great year for music. I was just hearing "Hitchin' A Ride" by Vanity Fare this morning.
Other great songs from that year include "That's Where I Went Wrong" by the Poppy Family, "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Johnny Cash, and "Layla" by Derek & Dominos.
Loved Charlie Pride's music. Class act.
American Woman/No Sugar Tonight.
The Guess Who
Try to buy the {British release on Polydor] of Jimi’s last concert: Live at the Isle of Wight.
It will be expensive if you can find it but it will blow you away.
I gots mine but you cain’t have it for any amount of dinero! I’m passing it on to my grandchildren. It’s been played -maybe- 10 times on a stylus (marantz TT, marantz equalizer, Altec-Lansing speakers).
That reminds me, if Karen Carpenter had roomed with Mama Cass Elliot in the 70’s, they would both be alive.
Just sayin’.
