In the mid 2000 decade I started 'collecting' some of the songs I remember listening to late into the nights in the early 1960s. The one TV channel we could get went off the air about 10:30 p.m., so the only late night option was AM radio from some of the super stations of that era. I managed to collect about 250 classics. Some songs were sung by 'other' artists, but I had my preferences.
One of the most difficult to find was Sunday Morning Coming Down. Kristofferson wrote it and both he and Johnny Cash sang it (IIRC). But the version I liked was sung by Ray Stevens, who was noted for his comedic songs. The Stevens version was the best, but it didn't show up on most of the music websites. I did eventually run across it in mp3 format on some obscure website -- and I saved it.
I still occasionally put on the earphones, auto load, and listen to many of those old classics late into the night.
