Thank you Dawn for the subtitle of today's shuffle.
Like we did last Monday, we shuffle up some of our classic tunes and play them back for you...
First up, we have one of the most exquisitely perfect Pop songs of all time by a master of the genre from his very first album. Marshall Crenshaw was released in April 1982 (30 years!) and Someday, Someway got played on Casey Kasem's American Top 40. Blah blah... let's get to the song (a nice way to start a cruddy Monday morning).
For our second song of the morning, we go back another 11 years or so for a song written by Kris Kristofferson. Janis Joplin died in October 1970, and her version of the song was released in January 1971. It turned out to be her only Number One song. It appeared on her classic album Pearl.
Now we go back another five years or so to a song released around the time I turned one month old. Since I seem to be unusually obsessed with Billboard chart positions, this song reach #5. So there.
Homeward Bound is from Simon & Garfunkel's album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. This song always comes to my mind when I am in the final leg of a return from a long vacation.
That last video was recorded at the Monterey Pop festival in 1967. The final song in this morning's shuffle was recorded just two days later. For What It's Worth was originally released on Buffalo Springfield's self-titled debut album.
