As we are in a slow time for basketball (at least football is just around the corner) I thought I would had another five songs for alby. One song is from the 60's though very late, 1969 and the rest is from the 70's. Hope alby and anyone else who cares to listen, enjoys.
Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells-1969-This number 1 hit has the distinction of being the fastest song to fall out of the top 100. After falling to 18 it then fell out of the top 100 in one week.
Venus by Shocking Blue-1970-As the Bristish Invasion was going strong in the mid to late 60's, other groups from around the world started to make a presence. Shocking Blue came from the Netherlands in 1967 and then had this top 20 hit.
Black Betty by Ram Jam-1977-This song caused quite a stir with the NAACP and Congress of Racial Equality calling for a boycott due to the lyrics. Despite the controversy, the song reached number 18 on the singles charts in 1977 in the US and top ten in Australia.
Breakfast In America by Supertramp-1979-Breakfast in America won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package, beating out albums by Talking Heads and Led Zeppelin, among others.
Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry-1976-The autobiographical song was inspired by the times, and the song's unforgettable title (and chorus) came from drummer Ron Beitle's observation during a break between sets at the 2001 Club in Pittsburgh. The group was mostly a hard rock outfit, but the Disco era was really gaining steam and many of the group's loyal followers were asking for more dance songs. While taking a break between sets, Ron uttered the now classic line.. "Play some funky music, white boy". Lead singer Robert Parissi decided they should, and wrote down the phrase on a bar order pad. They later recorded it in Cleveland with a Disco sound.
