Heard Wilson Pickett's "Fire and Water" for the first time at 37.  But the big OMGWTF of the week is "American Trilogy," not to be confused with "American City Suite."  Mickey Newbury was apparently a prolific C/W songwriter of the period, but damn if I know a single thing he did.

Oh my goodness, my gracious: Charley Pride's "Kiss an Angel Good Morning," which I haven't heard since I was a kid, followed by Sonny & Cher, "Aw, hon-NAY."

amazing indeed. His "San Francisco Mabel Joy" was covered by a bunch o' fokls, including Joan Baez -- it was almost as popular (covers-wise) as "Bobby McGee" back then.  These early-'70s shows are truly mind-blowing.  I see you got to hear "Once You Understand" -- luckily I was in transit when that happened  ;)

MJ gives us kissin' when it's missin'!  One of my fave forgotten J-5 hits, something of a comeback after "Maybe Tomorrow" failed to crack the Top Ten.

Too close to the formula for my ears, which I guess is why it outperformed "Maybe Tomorrow" (which I consider an unfairly lost gem, though it is florid and structurally weird).

OMG! Donny O with one of his many MANY teen-dream late-'50s/early-'60s covers. (Speaking of formula!)

I'm not a big Donny Osmond fan, but the DeFrancos couldn't hold a candle to this.
