I predict something from the Dutch Invasion: either "Venus," "Ma Belle Amie," or "Little Green Bag."

Nice start with Van's "Crazy Love."  I'm still convinced he drew those hushed intonations in his delivery from Dusty in Memphis, and as such I wish Dusty had recorded the song herself.

Did she really cover it?

Meanwhile, BOS to the Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life."  What fine harmonizing.

BOS Marmalade, first real out-of-the-ordinary selection so far and still lovely as the day it was released.

It was a single in the early '70s, not a big hit and I keep looking for it (it's not on the HR GH I have).

Not WOS exactly but least interesting of set: Cocker. Of all the Woodstock cuts we could've gotten (I want some Morning Maniac Music -- it's a New Dawn!) this is the least worthy.

BOS2: Blues Image, one of the great one-hit-wonders of the decade and a total flashback to Summer '70.

Wow! I liked the Buddy Miles. And here are those 73 men who sailed up from the San Francisco Bay. Were these guys Dutch Gaz?

I disagree on the Joe Cocker, just because of the rampaging guitars at the end.

VVHM to "Ride Captain Ride," one of those songs I used to hear All The Time on Pittsburgh oldies radio but never hear in NYC (and didn't hear in SF, now that I think about it).

BOS Smokey!

This is the first radio hit I can remember loving.  I was 6.

From Florida, I believe... but everyone assumed they were from SF.
