From 1973...A long forgotten Jethro Tull song. The single version of this hit number 80 on the Billboard Charts. Yes, there was a single. The Song - "A Passion Play" |

To Cry You A Song is one of my favorite Tull songs and Benefit is one of my favorite Tull Albums. Of course, all the early Tull qualifies as my fvorite Tull :-) Heres one form the same time frame, but a different album. And of course, thats one of the greatest song titles ever, but the song is just as good! (Sly I mean) |

Life is so funny. In 1974 when this album first came out, it was played to death, and this song especially...not that I ever got tired of it. Today?...You'd have to dig to the center of nowhere to find anybody who plays this anymore...and it's a crying shame. Another one from Jethro Tull, from the classic album "War Child"... "The Third Hoorah." |

The year was 1973...it was summer. This song made it as high as 21 on the Billboard charts and did get some airplay back then. But today, well, I don't remember the last time I heard this on the radio. The Artist - Bobby Goldsboro The Song - Summer (The First Time) |

OT - Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" was in response to Neil Young's "Southern Man" I'm going to guess that there wasn't any love lost between those guys.  | |

Not True! The LS band were actually FANS of Neil Young and when SHA came out hoped he wouldn't take offense. The band actually SUPPORTED Neil Youngs views on the South at that time. You have to understand how most of LS's songs were written. RVS never wrote down lyrics (said if he couldn't remember the lyrics the next day they weren't worth singing) In this case the line about Neil Young just came out of his head and fit the music as he heard it... Neil Young thought the line was kind of funny and DID NOT take offense. Oh, and own a side note...if you listen to the original recording you'll hear a faint voice in the background singing a line from Southern Man behind RVS's line. That was Al Kooper in the control room adding his own little twist to the song. | |

Probably one of the most amazing one hit wonders of all time. The original version of this song, quite honestly, was nothing with nothing. It had no spark, no energy and was just plain stupid. And then, an arranging genius got a hold of it and turned this into a triple platinum dance remix smash. Not played much today, this was the the dance smash of 2000 and became a staple of sports events. A song with a history that actually goes back to 1998 and artists previous to these guys...I give you... Baha Men's "Who Let The Dogs Out?" |
