As far as I can tell, this is the only SONG that this guy had. It looks more like a rap song.

[Rebelbase]

20 years ago they used to play NC on a regular basis. I’ve seen them live ten times in different cities around the state.

[1Old Pro]

I’m not in love - 10cc

Or even better - Dreadlock Holiday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCsyKspLQpQ

[1Old Pro]

Best xylophone solo ever You must never have heard of Ruth Underwood.

I prefer Gary Burton

[CommerceComet]

For a Christian hymn, the theology is rather unique. ("Never been a sinner, never sinned, I have a friend in Jesus.")

I suppose the "never been a sinner, never sinned" could be referring to Jesus. Perhaps? Personally, I don't think so and that's why I would have a hard time buying this as a Christian song. I still enjoy the song, though.

[Golden Eagle]

Never heard of it, but thanks for the suggestion, listening now!

There are some more posts farther down the thread regarding 10cc if you haven’t seen them yet too…

[George from New England]

If you didn’t listen to the Music - John Miles link I put on this thread, its worth the listen — it will grow on you.

You can also find this song a dozen places on you tube.

He did it yearly at something called “Night of the Proms”

Interesting how the performances have evolved over the years.

He died 2021.

[1Old Pro]

[ShadowAce]

Oh, I’ve heard it. I love that song!

[ShadowAce]

"I'm Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves

Another version -- Chemical Warfare (Don't it Feel Good?)

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Interesting mash up. I thought it was going to be the Dead Kennedys Chemical Warfare sung to the tune of Walking on Sunshine.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

This is the most aired video of that;
