The Candy Man, Playground In My Mind and Lovin' You are bad, but "Dear Mr. Jesus" makes me want to gouge out my ears with a screwdriver!!

The Candy Man, Playground In My Mind and Lovin' You are bad, but "Dear Mr. Jesus" makes me want to gouge out my ears with a screwdriver!!

I remember them all (and I'm surprised that I forgot to mention "Playground in My Mind" earlier myself!), but I don't remember who sang "Dear Mr. Jesus." I just remembered it being a child (probably a girl) who sounded about seven years old. Then a Michael Bolton soundalike took over for the last chorus at the very end of the song. (Hate to say it, but it might have been a little bit better if the Bolton soundalike had sang the whole song himself! )

Indian Lake--Cowsills
One Bad Apple--Osmonds

Sorry, I played "Indian Lake" on your Zenith several times while I was working on it....if I'd have known, I would have avoided that!


Beth- Kiss
Loving you- Minnie Ripperton

 

[Silkie]

I could never understand "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton with that screech being called a hit. Shame is what it is. Fortunately it is stuck in the cardboard box in the cornfield and rarely gets any real air play.

Like the old Grundig Majestic. Can't beat the cabinetry or quality of the sound. AM FM LW SW - yep, even back then there were all four.

Watching Scotty Grow – Bobbie Goldsboro

Goldsboro's music had no more to it than Goldsboro, Maryland (which I've been through a few times). Although I like "Voodoo Woman".

Bobby Vinton - Mr. Lonely
Sue Thomson - Norman
Dodie Stevens - Pink Shoe Laces
James Darren - Goodbye Cruel World
Oliver - Good Morning Starshine
Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Proclaimers - 500 Miles

That last one I have no opinion on, having never heard it.
"Edmund Fitzgerald" I like, except for the verse where Lightfoot rattles off the names of each of the Great Lakes like he's on the Travel Channel.
"Baker Street" I like, except for the edited version (and I also like "Right Down the Line" and Stealer's Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle With You" [Rafferty was in that group]).
The rest of the list, its perps can have.

And a cringe vote from me for Harry Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle" (too overreliant on "a" rhymes in the verses).
