And The Stiffs Just Keep On Comin'

Year Of The Cat. From Al Stewart, it's On The Border, which peaked at #42 on the Billboard charts in 1977.
 

Rad...very "Rad"!! 
That sucker burned through my speakers...shall we we say "too often".  Can't figure only 42 on the charts.  But then, that was then..now is now!! 

Never say never...especially with this thread!!

That's all

Not quite sure if this is a response to Savage's comments on the longevity of the WADD thread, disinterest in the WXXI thread or a genuinely worthwhile post recalling a stiff from the Washington DC area that was played on WPGC, WEEL and WEAM.

You make the call.

I submit for your approval, "White Lies" by Grin, featuring Nils Lofgren, a superb guitarist who's done a number of projects over the years and also played on a couple of tours with Bruce Springsteen.

I still maintain that Joe Cocker can't sing worth a damn. He sounds like he gargles with razor blades, yet the guy is got money coming out of his ears.

I get that title confused with something called "White Lies - Blue Eyes"...or so I think I remember...

Just over on Forgotten Hits blog to look up something I read yesterday on a new Joel Whitburn update that'll make this thread all the more fun...now including a "Total Hits" list accounting for those Top 40/Rock icons who sold infinitely more albums than singles. Here's the link to Joel's site:

Anyway...today's Forgotten Hits brings back the 1973 original version of "Rock & Roll Heaven" by Climax. They don't get much stiffer...really interesting to hear it alongside the Righteous Brothers' cover hit that came out a year later. Jim Croce and Bobby Darin had died during that 12-month span and so they replaced references to Buddy Holly & Ritchie Valens in the second verse.

As I recall, the Billboard ad for Climax's original predicted it would break out of Hawaii and then Buffalo just as "Precious And Few" did...but I don't remember ever hearing the song on 'KB.

Just when I thought this thread had finally died...
Has anyone mentioned Buzz Clifford's "Baby Sitting Boogie"?
Or Ferlin Husky's "Enormity In Motion" (the novelty "answer" song to "Poetry In Motion" featuring the classic line-Enormity In Motion, waddlin' by my side. Enormity in motion-makes my friends run and hide)?

Mixed Up Shook Up Girl - Patty & The Emblems (or is that just a forgotten 45?)
