Can't remember the last time Bob did '60s twice in one week.  Maybe Dave can make it a Daily Double?

HM to "I Can't Quit Her."  But I suspect this'll get better.  Easy to assume we'll get Jimi, Beatles (yay), and/or Cream.  But I'm hoping for Donovan, Monkees, or -- what the hell -- Vicki Carr's "With Pen in Hand."

ah, but have you ever heard the versions by Ree-Ree, Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan (of "Tennessee Birdwalk" fame), Bobby Goldsboro (who wrote it, iirc), and Billy Vera?

I was aware of Billy Vera's, but none of the others.  BG wrote it?  Wow, the head spins, the mind reels.

Meantime, BOS to "Judy," which -- TANC -- I just heard at a bar the other night.

Very easy, yet still a BOS for All Along the Jehovah's Witnesses.

"with pen in hand
She sipped on a julep"

If memory serves, the Vera and Carr versions had a classic cover battle, so neither was a big hit (even tho' she was coming off "It Must Be Him"). Aretha's is just as you'd imagine it to be.  

BOS2 TJ&TS, "C&C". Ovah and ovah!

Was C&C '68?  I've always associated it with 1969.

Ladies and gentlemen... the looooong "psychedelic" version!! And "Suzy Q" was also the long (some would say "endless") version.

late fall release, I believe it hit #1 around Christmas and lingered far into '69.  Another of those songs I associate with shoveling snow.
