The Captain & Tennille – “Love Will Keep Us Together” And “Do That To Me One More Time”

by Paul

The Captain & Tennille certainly picked the right song when they sang “Love Will Keep Us Together” back in 1975 – not only did the record go to Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 nine weeks after its debut, the husband and wife team really are still together. “Do That To Me One More […]

Jim Stafford – “Spiders And Snakes”, “Swamp Witch”, “Wildwood Weed” And “I Got Stoned And I Missed It”

by Paul

For some reason I just recalled “Spiders And Snakes” by comedian and musician Jim Stafford, which reached Number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1974.

The Knack – “My Sharona” And “Good Girls Don’t”

by Paul

One song I remember from 1979 was “My Sharona” by The Knack. It was apparently the biggest hit of the year and spent six consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart as well as five weeks at No. 1 in Australia. The followup single “Good Girls Don’t”, from the […]
