:-/Sure was some great great music that came out of that time frame.
I was browsing on amazon music and ran across a compilation of songs and it was just titled One Hit Wonders. One was "the Last Song" by Edward Bear. and another I always loved but didn't quite understand what it meant...One toke over the line...
The Last Song guy sounds somewhat like David Cassidy, but I know it's not. Anyway, boy that song put me in flashback land!
I was in about 7th grade, and had that 45 of that and I took my suitcase type record player to school and me and my friends would play records during the lunch hour. and that was one I used to have! Others would bring their favorite 45's too.
Someone brought Skip a Rope (a country song) and someone else had one called "I'll give you a Daisy a day"..by Ed Strunk I think his name was. Thinking back on those days, is like a dream now it was so very long ago though. Like I can see me like an out of body experience....wierd ........and I do personally believe in those kind of experiences, but not had one actually...!

I love " Daisy A Day" by Jud Strunk that is such a neat countryish song.

Thank you Rick, so many memories in this list of songs. I remember Bennie And The Jets and Help Me (Joni Mitchell) really well when I was in jr. high school.
