BEST NUMBER 2 HIT OF THE EARLY '70s? (Part 2)

I'm a fan of neither John Denver nor the Carpenters, but I included them anyway to accommodate those who might just like their music. What the hell, somebody must've liked 'em. After all, they sold millions of records!

I liked Denver. :) Just don't get drunk and fly. :D

And we got "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" for the 7th inning stretch.

NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE - "Joy To The World," Three Dog Night

RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS - "It's Too Late," Carole King :thumbsup:

MR. BIG STUFF - "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," The Bee Gees :eyes:

TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS - "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," The Bee Gees (:eyes: again!)

SPANISH HARLEM - "Go Away, Little Girl," Donny Osmond :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

SUPERSTAR - "Maggie May," Rod Stewart :headbang:

HURTING EACH OTHER - "Without You," Nilsson :boring:

I GOTCHA - "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," Roberta Flack :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring:

OUTA-SPACE - "Lean On Me," Bill Withers :bounce:

TOO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW - "Lean On Me," Bill Withers (:bounce: redux!)

It's depressing as hell, but I like it.

Besides, histrionics by white singers generally doesn't appeal to me!

the osmonds bumped that excellent tune by Aretha?

Carloe King was pretty good though.

In part 1, the songs were so good it was hard to pick one. How can two polls for the same years be so far apart in quality??? :shrug:

:puke:

.....and I liked it, so I voted for it.

But if you didnt have Denver or the Carpenters in there it priobably would have been a toss up between Spanish Harlem & Mr Big Stuff

Love that song. I heard on some "Behind the Music" type show that that was Karen's fave song as well. It was written when she was really getting sick with her eating disorders, and you can totally hear the pain in her otherwise beautiful, clear voice. :(

Sonic Youth also does a mean cover of it. ;)
