HBD ^ LET'S WORK TOGETHER-- Canned Heat As sung by Bob "The Bear" Hite. See him on the video and you'll know why. This is a good song for the current messes we have. After 50 years it still wears well.
30. ^ EL CONDOR PASA-- Simon & Garfunkel A song from the Peruvian Andes. From their fifth and final studio album. Recorded in a November 1969 recording session.
29. PATCHES-- Clarence Carter Syrupy but good. A boy overcoming spirit-breaking adversity. By the man who later brought you "Strokin' and "Kiss You All Over."
28. ^ IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE-- Glen Campbell I don't remember it. A cover of a Conway Twitty 1958 hit.
27. GROOVY SITUATION-- Gene Chandler Sure brings back some good old NIU college daze memories. What a great bass. Not just the Duke of Earl,
26. AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH-- Diana Ross Written by Ashford & Simpson. Another good song for these days.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "I'd Rather Be A Sparrow Than A Snail, Yes I Would." Answer below. --RoadDog
