NTM and promptly forgotten: James Taylor, "Long Ago and Far Away." Just the kind of blandness one might write in the family compound while Daddy's off in the Andes and the servants have baked nice pies for everyone. ![Undecided :-\](https://10at10club.com/forum/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)
OK, we know you hates you some JT, but (a) I thought that story about his dad going to the South Pole with Admiral Byrd was pretty amazing, and (b) it'sa lovely tune, especially Joni's backing vox. (I'd forgotten James is a Carolina boy, I so associate him with Martha's Vineyard.)
Other observations:
All hail Dennis Coffey's "Scorpio"!
Note that 8th Day's "You Gotta Crawl" and the 5MEB's "Absolutely Right" -- both mid-charting follow-ups to big hits -- are about guys admitting they were wrong.
I sure wish I could hear Lampoon's "Deteriorata" after "Desiderata". Dave once did a megamix that was brilliant; one of the best things I've ever heard in 16 years of listening to 10@10.
I'll bet the 5-D wish they coulda gotten their hands on "I've Found Someone of my Own" before Free Movement did. Their cover of "Never My Love", at its peak of #12 is nice, but seems secondhand in comparison. But interesting that both Association covers on the chart (the other being David Cassidy's "Cherish") are on the same label -- Bell, which would become Arista in a couple of years.
I had fond memories of "Yo-Yo", but Donny and his brothers are screaming like Linda Ronstadt on a bender!
And we close with Cher in her 2nd week at #1. What a weekly TV show can do for ya.
