last week on KFOG they were having their weekly American Idol discussion; apparently someone had done "A Song For You" on the show and it had been referred to as "a Donny Hathaway song", and Dave chimed in with "well, he recorded it but Leon Russell wrote it". And then Renee said... "Who's Donny Hathaway?"

and I spit my breakfast coffee all over the kitchen table.

good god almighty.

well at least steely dan makes another appearance. :)

speaking of "a song for you," (and steely dan, oddly enough), i noticed my new next door neighbor was playing [i}morph the cat[i/] one day. a few days later, he was playing the hathaway verion of "a song for you." i knocked on his door to compliment his good taste in music. he plays a mean guitar, and we're scheduled to have a jam session. imagine! of all the flats in all of amsterdam, i had to move into this one!

I don't associate "Freebird" with '73 -- wasn't it a hit single later?

TEN @ 10 LOG FOR 05.03.06
1973

John Lennon  -  Mind Games
Orleans  -  Dance with Me
The Doobie Brothers  -  China Grove
Steely Dan  -  My Old School
Elton John  -  Bennie & Jets
Dr. John  -  Right Place, Wrong Time
The Who  -  The Real Me
Sweet  -  Little Willy
Lynyrd Skynyrd  -  Freebird
Jackson Browne  -  Take it Easy

Stayed out late having a fancy dinner with a friend/client in from Austin, and thus not off to an early start today.  But missing the Who & Sweet is a nasty little price to pay.  I LOVE "Little Willie"

Yep. Their first album didn't even chart until after their second album was released in 74, and Sweet Home Alabama had hit. Free Bird hit 19 on the singles chart in '75. That about jives with my recollection--don't think I heard it much before '74 at the earliest.
