the four tops - (it's the way) nature planned it (1972)

fox - s-s-single bed (1976)

pete wingfield - 18 with a bullet (1975)

this is one of those rolas that you hear around the neighborhood sometimes. when you listen to it here, it's remarkable how clean the vocals are! it has that production quality that sounds ahead of its time, but with a style that harkens back to the early '60s. and of course, the way he delivers the title phrase -- "18...withabullit" -- is entrancing!

tony sandler and ralph young - if you go away (ne me quitte pas)

my father-in-law showed me this song and was very excited about it -- it's one of his favorites. "brilliant!" he said. "just listen to that -- one man sings a phrase, and the next follows!"
