A great AM radio song, written by Rupert Holmes. I saw the group perform the song live at The Steel Pier in New Jersey in 1971. Oh, and the song is about cannibalism.

Since I might be the only America fan here, I'll share an impressive bit of trivia for ya.

America's first four singles were "A Horse With No Name", "I Need You", "Ventura Highway", and "Don't Cross The River". Dewey Bunnell wrote and sung the first and third (#1 and #8), Gerry Beckley wrote and sung the second (#9), and Dan Peek wrote and sung the fourth (#35). There can't be many other groups of three (or more) members supplying hits, and especially that quickly. They had another string of hits about a year later with each member responsible for at least one of them.

Seriously--I've always thought this would be a great piece to play on the organ as everyone leaves the church at the end of the ceremony.

jk: As a comment on Sheriff's most recent "RR&R" post, Joe's first 45 in the UK was "Marjorine": www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2vRA3yhGbE. It was part of my piano repertoire for a while. I recall Joe was an inveterate air guitarist! Sept 14, 2024 10:52:42 GMT *

Kapitan: The next No. 1 from the Hot 100, well, we're skipping that, having already covered it back in the 1960 chart-toppers. But ironically, the song that knocked it off the top spot in 1962 was also inspired by and capitalizing on it. Sept 18, 2024 19:47:47 GMT

jk: I'll give the album covers thread another day or two to develop, otherwise out it goes. It seemed like a good idea at the time! Sept 22, 2024 9:20:37 GMT *
