I don't know which is more disturbing...that I missed the very first post in this thread or that you know a song that was mentioned in it.
;D
 
"(When She Needs Good Lovin') She Comes to Me" by Chicago Loop. Sorry, couldn't find it on Youtube.com. This is from Wikipedia...

Chicago Loop was a rock group from Chicago, Illinois. The group consisted of Bob Slawson (vocals), Judy Novy (vocals), John Savanna, alternate touring (guitar), Barry Goldberg (piano), Carmine Riale (bass), and Jack Siomos (drums). They released a single in 1966 entitled "(When She Needs Good Lovin') She Comes to Me" on DynoVoice Records. The recording featured some classic rock studio musicians...lead guitar was Michael Bloomfield, and the keyboard player was Barry Goldberg. Some of the pressings of the single had an alternate title, "(When She Wants Good Lovin') My Baby Comes to Me". The song hit #37 on the US Top 40 charts late in 1966.[1][2] Bob Crewe was the producer, and Carmine Riale, Bob Slawson, and John Siomos also formed the rhythm section of the touring group Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels.

"Reliable sources" have heard that to celebrate the one year anniversary of this thread (Oct. 21st) "the Creator" will post an A-Z listing of every song listed, with Billboard peak position and any available You Tube link. "The Creator" has denied this, saying "there's not enough Pabst in the world for that". ;-)
 
Hey, you never know. Summer painting season is fading, and the Pre-Christmas Home Decor Upgrade Panic hasn't begun yet...

Nobody has THAT much time and there isn't enough Pabst. I think I'd rather clear and paint Aunt Sophie's basement. My God, what have I said!? No. No. No!!! Delete-delete-delete.

Now here's some Can'tCon. A pretty good song that never made it in the States: Gordon Lightfoot's, "Race Among The Ruins."
 
Speaking of Can Con, in the early 70s I used to hear a tune on CHUM by Bachman-Turner Overdrive (I think) called "Blue Collar." Anyone remember that? This was before the band had a hit in the US.

I thought that the song "Blue Collar" was great. USED to hear it on the radio. Still have the LP and play occasionally. Another tune that I really liked from that LP was "Gimme Your Money, Please". Great driving tune.

Shook up some cobwebs in my head with the mention of BTO stiffs, here's one which was a Friday afternoon favorite (the ending is on an old aircheck of mine,) only made it to #83 on the charts:

"For The Weekend"

...segue that right into the Doobies' "China Grove"
 
I have nothing to add here today.
It's just that this thread was in danger of falling off the front page for the first time and I couldn't bear to see that happen!
 
Anyone remember The Guess Who's Running Back To Saskatoon? I recall it got a fair amount of play on WAXC and WBBF but went nowhere nationally. Pretty good hook.
 
110 pages....I'm in shock and awe.

Did we include "Double Barrel" by Dave and Ansell Collins? Or the memorable followup stiff, "Monkey Spanner?"
 
Yes, Double Barrel was way back there somewhere, but certainly worth repeating, because by now it's a stiff. I think Jim Pastrick posted it.

Thanks Silk. Page 58 to be exact, with follow up post by Desert Pete. I read Savage's post and immediately, the gauntlet had been thrown down! "I think I posted that song. But where? And when? I simply must find it? Even though I have better things to do!" (Like that production demo I was gonna email "by 9 o'clock" to an advertising guy in Withita.) Fifty eight freakin' pages. I'll tell ya, there have been some great posts, terrific songs and great bits in this thread.
