Hello, I'm Music Mike..A Former Radio Station Disc Jockey, Music Director & General Manager,.
I've Been Collecting Records, CD's & Sound Files For Many Years. With So Many Different Songs In My Collection, I Thought It Would Be Fun To Share With You Some Of The Songs That I Think Should Have Been Hits...But Were Not. Or, Maybe The Song Did Well At The Time, But Rarely Gets Played Today. It's Possible That Some Of These May Have Been Hits In Other Countries. Generally, They Did Not Go Very Far On The American "Hot 100" Chart Or May Not Have Charted At All. These Are The Kind Of Songs That Sound Great, But Rarely Ever Get Played. High Quality Audio Is Very Important To Me, So I Will Always Strive To Present The Best In Sound Reproduction For All Of My Songs.

just stumbled across this, and you've made the all-too-common mistake of including the inferior remake version from 1974 LP "New Day". The "Carryin' On" LP has the original LP version. The 45 was actually shorter and had an overdubbed electric guitar that screamed out at you!
1975 was last year that the word “teen”was part of my current age. And now the 20, 30, 40, 50, something and over half of the 60 something’s are gone. Damn party on !
I will never stop listening to the greatest music of its time. Believe it or not, after service in the Marines and Saigon, it was this music that gave me peace and hope after so much death and destruction we did. We came back to an unforgiving nation especially for 'the bloods'.
You can hear this amazing singer by searching "Birmingham Sunlights", an a capella gospel group with James Taylor, his brothers and other amazing voices. "I come to the garden" and "working on a building" will blow you away!
One Fine Morning was the first album I ever bought. I went to Sam the Record Man on Yonge Street near Dundas (before the Eaton Centre was there. And when I say I bought if form Sam the Record Man, I mean that it was Mr. Sniderman himself at the cash register.
I used to listen to this and daydream about the girl I had a crush on in 1968. I was a junior in high school. She was a sophomore and I was afraid of rejection. Two years later I dated her. She broke up with me and broke my heart. Two months later she came to my college baseball game and told me she made a big mistake and wanted me to forgive her and take her back. I told her that I had already forgiven her, and as bad as I wanted to go back to her, my pride wouldn’t let me. I told her it was too late. Fast forward 10 years. I’m still single and was having trouble with my girlfriend. We had broken up. I just happened to run in to my old girlfriend and she was divorced and had a child. We went out and I thought she was what I wanted. But I discovered I really loved the other girl. I went back to her and asked her to marry me. That was 40 years ago. Still happily married.
Music like this is sadly forgotten, never played on regular radio ever, and needs a revival big time. Sure you might hear it on satellite radio, maybe. I bought almost every Superhits of the 70’s CD’s and will never get rid of three CD players cause those are going to be obsoleted like cassette tapes. There will never be a decade of music like from 1970-1979 period. The greatest decade with thousands of songs and the one hit wonders galore. Thanks for the post. Always dug this tune very much.
The epitome of beauty, grace and talent! An era where women embraced their femininity! Not like today where it’s tattoos and purple hair and big biceps! RIP beautiful!❤❤
Such raw, sincere, intense emotion! Being idealistic and very young in the '60s - that was a very special experience. I loved this song since it came out. Still a great, unforgettable song, more than half a century later.
Hello Mike - We go way back to the beginning of your channel. We had some nice chats. I hope you will consider reposting your Richard Finch video as it was one of my favorites. He did his time and I think enough time has passed. If you are still in contact with him, please let him know I much I appreciate the music he made. I would love to speak with him and share this myself as I have been connecting with artists who made a difference in my life. If there is a way you and I can email or chat in private, please let me know. I'll remove our posts once you have replied. Thanks.
