I've got a hunch about "Life is a Rock" today.

Early BOS, "Let it Ride."  One of those songs that overwhelm with waves of nostalgia.

another BOS to Ms Ronstadt's "You're No Good", the single that (finally) broke her career wide open.

VHM Buckwheat Clapton, "Mainline Florida, oh-TAY!" (well, at least it's not "Motherless Children").

But was "Let it Ride" from 1974?  Not Fragile, which just happens to be in my cd player, is from '74, and LIR is on BTO II.

it was a hit single in early '74; Not Fragile came out in late summer iirc.

OMGWTF! WOS "Seasons in the Sun", one of the worst disembowelments of a great song ever to hit #1.

I'm in your camp on this one, not Rod's.  Hard to believe this is the only Beatles cover that ever hit #1, but there you go.

Whitburn sez it entered the chart on 3/23/74, peaking at #23 during a 9-week stay.
