Manfred Mann s Earth Band-
Blinded By the Light: A lengthy classic rock transformation of a streetwise rock Bruce Springsteen song, with lots of great musical transitions, an instrumental intro possibly inspired by the instrumental intro of The Who s
Baba O Riley, and a sense of humour â the little bit of
Chopsticks played during one musical transition.
Chuck Mangione-
The Manhattans-
Kiss and Say Goodbye: A song I loved in the day (1976), with its Barry White-like smouldering spoken intro and its soaring musical vocals. For those so inclined, there s an X-rated (more like PG-13) version with an alternate, rather nasty intro that can be heard on YouTube.
Instead of our weekly survey of the top-10 hits of the 1970s, this week s column will compile Retro Roundup s all-time favourite songs by major artists.
Elvis Presley-So much to choose from the greatest rock/pop singer of all time, but I m sticking with the standalone 1971 single
It s Only Love in its hard to find mono 45 RPM mix. Elvis s vocal performance is far from his most rousing, but the song itself and the instrumentation are what make it my first choice. The mono single mix sounds tougher as the rhythm section is brought more up to the fore than in the stereo mix.
