No, and we only liked Nancy in '66 because of that infectious descending line.
Even though this was 1967 Top Ten Songs of the Year:
1. Respect - Aretha Franklin
2. Light My Fire - Doors
3. Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream
4. Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
5. A Day In The Life - Beatles
6. Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum
7. Somebody To Love - Jefferson Airplane
8. Soul Man - Sam & Dave
9. Strawberry Fields Forever - Beatles
10. Nights In White Satin - Moody Blues
I was (and am) more of a Flo & Eddie, Youngbloods, and Stone Poneys kind of guy.
why would I not be stoned?
YES, I liked Nancy Sinatra and still do. Nancy had twenty one songs to hit the charts so there is more to her than those damn "Boots." There is a recent CD out that has a bluegrass feel to it titled "Pickin' On Nancy Sinatra." I think perhaps many people take pot shots, no pun intended, referring to your stoned reference...at Nancy.
I spent the entire year of 1967 in the army, and about half of it in Nam. Didn't hear a lot of music, but while at Fort Campbell I heard "Respect" endlessly. I hate that song.
Ken, thanks for the heads up. This is a neat station.
