    Back in the late 80s, I bought three cassettes to keep me company on a long, solo drive, and one was this same Three Dog Night collection. The song I’d add to your three is this one:

      My grandfather once told me that there was no good music after the 50s. Everything he had was also on vinyl, and it was mostly big band and swing, with some classical and Church music (Catholic).

      My mother, on the other hand, knows the words to every song that got radio play between 1960 and 1972.Report
