The Day Randy Bachman Left The Guess Who Music Historian Scott G Shea Breaks It Down

Back in May 1970, Randy Bachman left the Guess Who after getting into a disagreement with his bandmates. He'd been with the group in its various incarnations for 10 years and was invited to join by its founder, Chad Allan. Interestingly, at the time of Randy's departure, Chad had already been gone for four years, leaving shortly after the arrival of Burton Cummings, and the two teamed up to form Brave Belt in 1971. That group eventually morphed into Bachman-Turner Overdrive, but, before they broke nationwide, Chad left again. In his new article for the Strange Brew, writer Scott G. Shea examines Chad Allan's story, how he softly started a rock revolution in Canada and why he left before each band broke internationally. I hope you'll make some time to have Scott G. Shea, a leading music historian and author of the best-selling book, “All the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas & the Papas Came Together and Broke Apart,” on your program to discuss the not only the story of Chad Allan, but the history of the Guess Who and BTO, the incredible music they made and how revolutionary they were. The Guess Who was particularly unique in that they found a place on both the Top 40 AM band and the more progressive album rock stations on the FM side. Theirs is a fascinating story of friendship, luck, breakups, reunions and happenstance.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

For more than 60 years, Canadian rock and roll legend Randy Bachman has been takin' care of business and working overtime. He co-founded not one but two of the most successful rock bands to come out of this country: The Guess Who and Bachman–Turner Overdrive. Randy sits down with Tom Power to look back on his incredible life in music, from leaving The Guess Who at the height of their success, to Neil Young helping him start his new band, all the way up to his new BTO single, which looks back at Winnipeg — the city that he says gave him everything.

Så er vi nået til det herlige heavy år 1974, hvor de "gamle" forløbere Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin og Alice Cooper ikke udgav nye albums, men forberedte hver deres monsterværk til året efter. Til gengæld var der debutudgivelser fra de unge knøse i Judas Priest, AC/DC og KISS, og de første par albums fra den nye udgave af Deep Purple. 1974 var også året, hvor Bachman-Turner Overdrive begejstrede med fængende hard rock-hits á la '74, Slade hev rockfans i biografen, læderklædte Suzy Quatro var kvinden på scenen, og The Sweet affyrede en tidlig heavy metal-raket med kurs mod sen-70'erne og 80'erne. Vi er atter i selskab med studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen og vores sublime gæsteduo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslag: - Flammen tilbage i det nye Deep Purple line-up med "Burn" albummet og den unge frontmand David Coverdale. - Men... flammen brænder hurtigt ud for Ritchie Blackmore, der kvitter Deep Purple efter "Stormbringer" pladen. - Efter fem års tilløb albumdebuterer Judas Priest med et forvarsel om de nye metaltider. - AC/DC singledebuterer og fjoller lidt rundt i dresseringen. Skoleunifomen sidder dog godt fast på Angus Young. - KISS debuterer med deres ikoniske maskering og festklædte syng-med-rock-og-rul. - Amerikansk rock'n'roll og heavy fra Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd og Blue Öyster Cult, og sprød europæisk hard rock-lyd fra Free, Queen, The Scorpions og Thin Lizzy. - Canada byder sig til med Rush og Bachman-Turner Overdrive, der skaber eufori hos gæstepanelet 51 år efter. - I Danmark spiller den 15-årige guitarist Michael Denner progressiv rock og heavy med syre-elementer i Iron Space, mens Mo I Rana laver solid Led Zep-inspireret rock. - Slade går til filmen med "Slade in Flame", som Vesterbro-knægten Michael Trampenau ser tre gange på sin konfirmationsdag. - Amerikanske Suzy Quatro hitter med sin tætsiddende læderdragt og numre som "Devil Gate Drive". - Vi går i dybden og afrunder med The Sweets pioner heavy metal-nummer "Set Me Free". Hav en fin tur tilbage til 1974, og på snarligt genhør i det næste afsnit fra 1975, som udsendes om ca. 14 dage! Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

Not Fragile by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, released in 1974, is a landmark hard rock album that solidified the band's presence in the rock scene. Known for its raw, muscular sound, the album features heavy guitar riffs and the deep, distinctive vocals of Randy Bachman. The title track, Not Fragile, sets the tone with its powerful, aggressive sound, while "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" became the band's signature hit, combining a catchy, stuttering chorus with blues-rock energy. The album blends hard rock with elements of blues and boogie, appealing to fans of both heavier and classic rock. With its anthemic tracks and straightforward rock and roll attitude, Not Fragile has remained a fan favorite and is celebrated as one of BTO's most successful records.Listen to the album on SpotifyListen to the album on Apple MusicWhat did you think of this album?

Send us a textAll bands need a name, but the process of getting that name is different for each band. This episode, we look at how a bunch of well-known bands got their names.  Some are amusing, some are horrifying, some are dark or seedy – be ready for surprises! Our “album you must listen to before you die” is Arc of a Diver, by Stevie Winwood (1980).  This was a formative album during our youth, and with this million-selling album and its hit single “While You See a Chance”, Winwood was a major influence on other people we love, such as Marianne Faithfull.   In Rock News, the major story is that the Gallagher brothers have agreed to reunite as Oasis for a UK tour in 2025. We don't like the odds of the brothers completing the tour without fighting and would like ringside seats! In other news, we look at Nick Cave's new album, Wild God, Bruce Springsteen back on tour, and Neil Young releasing Archives Vol. III, a 17-CD box set featuring 198 tracks.  Wow! References: Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, INXS, Guns n Roses, Bee Gees, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Fleetwood Mac, Joy Division, Nazi camps, 10CC, The Lovin' Spoonful, Steely Dan, The Mothers of Invention, Frank Zappa, The Doobie Brothers, Rammstein, Ramstein air show tragedy, Husker Du, The Velvet Underground, Depeche Mode, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Boris Karloff, The Foo Fighters, The Angels, The Beatles, The Quarrymen, The Silver Beetles, Tony Sheridan & the Beat Brothers, Buddy Holly & The Crickets, Pink Floyd, Pink Anderson & Floyd Council, “Oh by the way, which one's Pink?”, Cheap Trick, Slade, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Radiohead, Talking Heads, Shakespeare's Sister, The Bay City Rollers, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Tim Staffell, “Smile”, Freddie Mercury, The Band, The Hawks, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Barenaked Ladies, Jethro Tull, U2, The Hype, Beach Boys, The Pendeltons, "Surfin'", Blue Öyster Cult, “On Your Feet or on Your Knees”  Playlist – Band names

With an unprecedented four Juno awards for songwriter of the year, Jim Vallance is one of Canada's pre-eminent songwriters and the creative force behind top tracks for artists like Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Joe Cocker and Glass Tiger. He played drums with the Vancouver band Prism, and wrote their first single, Spaceship Superstar (which was played on the Discovery Space Shuttle). After touring with Prism,  he became a session musician before a chance meeting with 18-year-old Bryan Adams determined his songwriting career direction. The two began a fruitful decades-long songwriting collaboration.  Adams's album, Cuts Like a Knife, yielded three hit singles co-written with Vallance, and reached platinum. The follow-up album Reckless cemented the Vallance-Adams writing partnership in the annals of rock music. No. 1 on the Canadian and U.S. album charts, it sold five times platinum, with six Vallance co-writes in the Top 15, including the duo's first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, Heaven; and the No. 1 Mainstream Rock tracks Run To You and Somebody. Vallance concentrated on songwriting, penning a non-stop stream of hit rock ballads, including the now-famous chart-topping charity single Tears Are Not Enough, a collaboration with Adams and fellow Canadian producer David Foster. Jim's creative talent has benefitted top international acts like Pat Benatar, Roger Daltry, Neil Diamond, Bonnie Raitt, Carly Simon, Joan Jett, The Go-Go's, Rick Springfield, Tina Turner,  Rod Stewart, Anne Murray, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Chilliwack, Loverboy, Toronto, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, KISS and The Scorpions. Vallance went on to collaborate with Adams on songs for the Broadway show Pretty Woman: The Musical. He has served on the boards of SOCAN, the Songwriters Association of Canada, and FACTOR, is a member of the Order of Canada, and boasts 22 SOCAN Classic awards and the Lifetime Achievement Award.

BURTON CUMMINGS - The GUESS WHO's Voice that Rocked the World

A Breath of Fresh Air

Burton Cummings' voice has been rated among the finest in rock music. Today he continues at the top of his game as performer, singer, songwriter, poet and recording artist. As lead singer and songwriter for Canada's original rock ‘n' roll superstars, The Guess Who, Burton scored an unprecedented string of international hit singles and albums including “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “No Time,” “Share the Land,” “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature,” “Clap for the Wolfman”, “Albert Flasher” and others, all written or co-written by Burton. By 1970, The Guess Who had sold more records than the entire Canadian music industry combined before breaking up in 1975. The group achieved a long list of firsts including first Canadian group to reach #1 on Billboard charts -- holding that spot for three weeks - and first to earn a platinum album for U.S. sales of more than one million copies. Rolling Stone magazine hailed The Guess Who as “one of rock's most consistently fascinating maverick bands” with a succession of songs “that has few equals among contemporary North American groups.” Dick Clark described the group as rock innovators and ambassadors of Canadian music. Beginning his career as a solo artist in 1976, Burton continued his winning streak with a gold record for his solo debut single “Stand Tall,” produced by legendary hitmaker Richard Perry who numbered among his clients Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon and Ringo Starr. The choice of producer was evidence of Burton's star power in the music industry. He followed his inaugural solo success with more than a dozen hit singles and albums including “I'm Scared,” “My Own Way to Rock,” “I Will Play a Rhapsody,” “Timeless Love,” “Break It to Them Gently,” “Dream of a Child,” and “You Saved My Soul.” Sold-out tours across Canada and the United States solidified Burton's stature as a top entertainer. He starred in several highly rated television specials and, between 1977 and 1980, earned five Juno Awards for Best Male Vocalist and Best Album, serving as host of the annual Juno gala a record four times. Burton's 1978 album Dream of a Child became the first quadruple platinum-selling album by a Canadian artist. Through the ‘80s and ‘90s, Burton continued to tour and joined Beatles drummer Ringo Starr's All Starr Band. In 1980, a starring role in the feature film Melanie with Miami Vice star Don Johnson earned Burton a Genie Award for Best Original Song. He also launched his acclaimed Up Close and Alone solo concert series. A live album of the same name followed. The success of Lenny Kravitz' cover of “American Woman” in the hit feature film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me brought renewed attention to the original Guess Who. The group reunited in 1999 for the closing ceremonies of the Pan-American Games with a television audience numbering in the tens of millions. Several high-profile North American tours followed. As the VOICE of all the classic Guess Who hit songs, Burton has toured with his long-time band, for the past twenty-three years across North America as well as joining Randy Bachman onstage as Bachman Cummings, performing his songs from the original The Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Burton's solo career. Described as Canadian rock ‘n' roll royalty, a national treasure, and a living legend, for Burton Cummings there has always been one constant: he remains true to himself and his own way to rock… and continuing to perform the songs the way they were originally conceived by the artist who sang and wrote/co-wrote them. Burton joins us this week to share his musical story and lets us know about his other passion - writing poetry. For more information head to his website burtoncummings.com

What the Riff!?! delves once again into the great (and not so great) Christmas songs to add a little cheer as you rock around the Christmas tree this year.“Carol of the Bells” by Mannheim SteamrollerMannheim Steamroller covers a Ukrainian carol from 1922.  They highlight a 3 against 2 polyrhythm that is present in the original song, and add a major key change that is not present in the original.  This is off their second Christmas album released in 1988 entitled "A Fresh Aire Christmas."  “O Come O Come Emanuel” by Bad ReligionThis fast-paced rendition takes an 8th century song and puts a punk twist to it.  It is a quick song, like most bad Religion tracks. “Yellin' at the Xmas Tree” by Billy IdolRocker Billy Idol reminisces about times with his drunk father yelling at the Christmas tree.  "Oh the Christmas bells are ringing and the carolers are singing, but Daddy, he don't hear 'em, he's yellin' at the Christmas tree."“Space Christmas” by  Shonen KnifeThis Japanese punk-pop band was inspired by the girl groups of the 60's and the Ramones.  This sci-fi Christmas track has a "bubblegum pop" sound with a punk edge.  “Taking Care of Christmas” by Bachman Turner OverdriveWhen Rob covered "Bachman Turner Overdrive II" earlier this year we discovered this Christmas remake of their classic single.  It is surprisingly catchy for a song overhauled for Christmas.  Randy Bachman did an all-Christmas album in 2008 including this song.“Christmas All Over Again” by Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersThis original song was penned by Tom Petty on a ukulele in 1992.  It was used in the motion picture "Home Alone 2:  Lost in New York," and also appeared in "Jingle All the Way."  Jeff Lynne co-produced the song, played bells, bass, timpani, sang background vocals, and wishes for a Chuck Berry Songbook in the song.“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by the REO SpeedwagonREO Speedwagon keeps the original feel of the carol in their rendition of this classic.  It was released on their 2009 album, "Not So Silent Night...Christmas with REO Speedwagon."  The original English carol dates back to the 1650's.  “Santa Claus” by The SonicsThis song with a fuzzy guitar appeared on the debut album from The Sonics back in 1965.  The Sonics were a garage band out of Tacoma, Washington in the 60's, and influenced the punk and grunge movement.  They are likely best known for their party song, "Louie, Louie."“Santa's Messin' with the Kid” by Eddie C. CampbellBlues guitarist and singer Eddie C. Campbell was well known in the Chicago blues scene and learned guitar from Muddy Waters.  This song was released on his 1977 Christmas album.“What Christmas Means to Me”  by Stevie WonderThis original song was released on Tamla records in 1967 on Wonder's eighth studio album entitled "Someday at Christmas."  It was the final track on the album which consisted of a mix of Christmas standards and original music. “Merry Christmas Darling” by the CarpentersNo Christmas playlist would be complete without Karen Carpenter's voice.  This song was originally recorded by The Carpenters in 1970.  The lyrics date back to 1946 when songwriter Frank Pooler wrote it about a love interest at the time.  He had The Carpenters perform it when they were his music students at California State University, Long Beach.“White Christmas” by Bing CrosbyBing Crosby originally performed this song composed by Irving Berlin in 1940.  It was performed for the first time in December 1941, and appeared in the motion picture "Holiday Inn" in 1942.  (and there might be a bonus song...)We at What the Riff?!? wish every one a blessed and Merry Christmas!

LESSONS THAT SKYROCKETED MY BUSINESS The lessons that come to us on our journey can change our lives if we are open to embracing them. We simply need to see the silver lining. This week I received an email from a client. She said, "This week I was really wondering if this is worth my time. My life is so out of balance!!" My heart fell to my stomach. It hurt so much, because I have been there. Growing your podcast can be lonely. Building a business and being an entrepreneur can often make you feel like you're alone on an island. Over the years I have realized that it is truly darkest before the light. Just when you think you're on the wrong path, the sun comes over the horizon. There are four lessons I've learned over the years that can help you when you're ready to throw in the towel. If you want to talk about your journey and craft your podcast strategy, apply for a free podcast strategy call with me at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply. THE LESSONS OF CORNERS First, embrace change. You never know what opportunity is around the corner. Music was all around me growing up. It really developed my love of every genre. I grew up listening to Jim Croce, the Beach Boys and Tom Jones from my mom. Dad was listening to Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers and Marty Robbins. My older brothers and sisters were all about the Beatles, Elton John and Bachman Turner Overdrive. When it came to my babysitter, we were listening to the Eagles, John Denver and the BeeGees. Rick was my best friend. He was listening to the Doors, the Cars and the Clash. RECORD STORE LESSONS When I was a senior in high school, I played the sax in band and landed a job at a local record store. I loved music and this was perfect. One night in the fall, a coworker asked me to cover his Saturday night shift at the store. I typically didn't work Saturdays, so I agreed. Then, our high school band director announced we had the biggest marching band competition of the year on that same day. Suddenly, I couldn't cover the shift. I called everyone to see if they would fill in. It was Saturday night, and I could find nobody. When I called the new store manager who had only been there a few weeks, I explained it to him. He told me to either find someone or show up. It was my responsibility. I had just called every employee. It wasn't happening. I called the shift manager and told him the situation. When I told him I wouldn't be there, he told me to not worry about it. They could handle it without me. The band won the competition and it was a great day. On Sunday, I go to the store and work my regular shift. At the end of the night, the manager calls me into the office. He asks me why I didn't show up on Saturday. I explain what he already knows. The manager then tells me that he is letting me go due to my lack of musical knowledge. It was the first time I got fired. THE NEXT DOOR OPENS I'm in my drafting class the next day. It was part of my journey to become an architect. My teacher Mr. Weaver comes over to tell me he received a call from a local drafting firm. The owner is looking for a draftsman and wants Weaver to send his best draftsman. Weave asks if I'm interested. When I say yes, he gives me the guy's number and tells me to go see him after school. That afternoon, I was offered a job as a draftsman making nearly twice as much as I was making at the record store. I would start the next Monday. Embrace change when it comes. You never know what opportunity is around the corner. THE LESSONS OF CHANCES The next lesson is take chances and follow your heart. Embrace your passion. I worked for that drafting firm for two-and-a-half years. It grew from the two of us to hiring 3 other draftsman. Then, the drafting firm closed. The owner was taking a job with one of our clients to become their in-house drafting department. I was out of a job again. One Saturday I was hanging around the house when the phone rang. It was my brother's boss. My brother Keith worked at a radio station in town running the board. Keith and I both worked with the station manager at the local roller skating rink. Boss needed Keith to fill in for some shifts, but he wasn't home. Boss told me he needed help at the radio station and wondered if I was interested. I was a broke college student at the time and needed some cash. Radio always sounded fun as well. So, I took the job and started on my journey into radio. ARCHITECTURE VS RADIO During the next year, my love for radio grew while my passion for architecture was fading. I started considering switching my degree from architecture to journalism. After taking a few journalism classes, I realized I knew most of it by already working in a radio station. So, I finished the architecture degree and stayed in radio. Radio was my new passion. It started out with me working overnights. I had two other jobs just to pay rent and make ends meet. But I was having a blast. My parents thought I lost my mind. All that work in architecture just to work overnights on the radio. It wasn't until 7 years later when I started programming the radio station that my dad finally accepted my career. When things got tough, I had to fight the doubters and follow my passion. Trust your heart. Take chances. Embrace your passion. Follow your intuition. THE LESSONS IN CONNECTIONS The next lesson is all about connection. You never know who you might meet and where you might meet them. A few years later I was in a temporary radio gig. I was hired to keep the station on the tracks while the owner sold it. After the sale, I was out of a job. So, I left radio in January and accepted a job as an audio producer at a teleservices company. I was producing the audio on those phone lines that you call to activate your bank card. During that job, I met the woman who would become my wife and change my world. Jen was an account manager at the company. After starting in January, our first date was in March. She accepted another job and left the company in April. By July, I was back in radio at a new station. Jen and I worked with each other for less than four months. But, it was the start of our lifetime together. You never know who you might meet and where you might meet them. As you're on your journey, never say no to a mic. You never know who is in the audience and what might develop. QUALITY The final lesson is it's not the size of the audience that matters. It's the quality of those in the audience. I had just launched my Podcast Profits Concierge program. This allows coaches to show up and perform while leaving all the production, editing, and social medial asset creation up to my team. We do it all for them. The program also involves one-on-one coaching with me. It's a very powerful program and I was ready to take information experts to the next level. A few clients had enrolled as I was looking for stages and other opportunities to be in front of clients who could hire me. MASTERMIND INVITE I was invited to speak to a mastermind. As I just mentioned, never say no to a mic. She was a friend, and that gave me even more reason to say yes. When I showed up to the mastermind call, there were six people in the room. Not as many as I had hoped, but I came to deliver. We had a great conversation. I gave it my all and talked about what I love about podcasting. Later that day, I got an email from one of the people in the room. He wanted to discuss launching a podcast. On the call, I told him all about Podcast Fast Blueprint to launch the show. Then we got into Podcast Profits Concierge and all it could do for him and his business. By the end of the call, I had created a custom program for him that eventually turned him into a $20,000 client. It isn't the size of the audience that matters. Be more concerned about the quality of the audience. When you compare your downloads to others, keep this in mind. Not all podcast audiences are created equal. Fill your audience with quality prospects and turn them into valuable clients. YOUR STRATEGY These four lessons can help keep proper perspective when you're ready to throw in the towel. When your podcast isn't helping you grow your business, it can be frustrating. You're not alone. Many podcasters tell me they simply can't continue to dump time and energy into a podcast that isn't producing results. That's where I can help you.

In the 1970s, it was not easy for Canadians to produce and distribute music that would be widely received by American or Canadian audiences. Their was the issue of cost and, maybe even more importantly, the issue of credibility. Canada's content laws made radio listeners skeptical about the bands they heard and whether they were "good," which tended to mean they had received an American stamp of approval. This episode examines the work and, in many cases, the perseverence of Canadian bands including Bachman Turner Overdrive, Rush, and Triumph as they worked to create careers that were sustainable beyond the Canadian borders.

Randy Bachman left The Guess Who in 1970 after experiencing lifestyle differences with the other band members.  After exploring a number of alternatives, Bachman formed a group with his brothers Tim Bachman (guitars, vocals), and Robbie Bachman (percussion), and with Fred Turner (bass, vocals).  The group took the name Bachman -Turner Overdrive, often shortened to BTO.  Although their self-titled first album did not produce a single, it was regionally successful, and the band made the most of it with a heavy touring schedule.  It was their second studio album, Bachman-Turner Overdrive II, which would bring the band significant success.  The album would go to number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and number 6 on the charts in their native Canada.  Powered by bluesy guitar riffs and infectious choral hooks, BTO-II would become a staple of classic rock radio, and demonstrate the signature rock sound of the early 70's.Tim Bachman would be replaced by Blair Thornton prior to their third and most successful studio album, "Not Fragile."  This lineup would produce a further three studio albums before founder Randy Bachman's departure in 1979.  The band would continue on until 2005 before calling a hiatus.  A number of reunions would follow starting in 2009.Rob features this influential group who maintained a guitar-led hard rock sound during a time when soft rock, glam, and disco were on the rise. Takin' Care of BusinessRandy Bachman originally developed this song while a member of The Guess Who, and it's working title was "White Collar Worker."  The Guess Who turned it down because they thought it was too similar to The Beatles' "Paperback Writer," so Bachman rearranged it for BTO as "Takin' Care of Business."  Randy Bachman is on lead vocals for this anthem.BlownThe lead track to the album is a deeper cut that describes a long-ago day when smoking drugs led to a collapse and a time "when they locked me up."  It has a great hook in the chorus and a fast pace.  "I was blown (woo woo) ran and jumped and screamed.  I was blo-o-own right inside a dream."Welcome HomeThis is a quirky song has an alternating acoustic Latin verse and heavier chorus, with a jazzy finish.  The lyrics talk about life on the road and how good it feels to go back home, drive your own car and sleep in your own bed.  It could not be confirmed that Animal from The Muppet Show was an uncredited contributor to this track.Let It RideFred Turner is on lead vocals for the first BTO single to crack the US Top 40 (at number 23).  The inspiration for the song was a time when the band was on a highway in their tour bus and got boxed in by a couple of trucks.  When the band confronted the truckers about it at a truck stop, they were told to settle down and just let it ride. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Opening theme from the television series "The Six Million Dollar Man"This is where we learned about "Steve Austin.  Astronaut.  A man barely alive."  The weekly exploits of the Bionic Man would have us running in slow motion on the playground to simulate his 60-mph dashes.  STAFF PICKS:Seasons In the Sun by Terry Jacks Wayne brings us a song adapted from a Belgian tune called "The Dying Man."  The lyrics portray a dying man's farewell to his loved ones.  It was a worldwide hit that went to number 1, becoming the largest-selling Canadian single in history at the time.  Jacks rewrote the lyrics to reflect a life that acknowledges rights and wrongs of his life as he passes away peacefully.Living for the City by Stevie Wonder  Lynch features a song on which Wonder plays all the instruments and performs all the vocals.  The lyrics tell of a young kid from Mississippi who moves to New York City.  While down south he had hardships, but was surrounded by caring people.  In the city, people take advantage of him, and he is caught with drugs and sentenced to 10 years in jail.Let Me Be There by Olivia Newton-John Bruce's staff pick is Newton-John's first top 10 hit in the US, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  This would also be the start of a more country direction for the singer, and would continue for the next couple of albums.  Olivia Newton-John would win a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocalist for this upbeat tune.Mind Games by John  LennonRob finishes off the staff picks with a single originally released in 1973 from Lennon's album of the same name.  It made it to number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Lennon started writing this in 1969 under the working title "Make Love, Not War."  That phrase had been overused by the early 70's, and he took inspiration from a book title for the change to "Mind Games." INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Space Race  by Billy Preston Long time Beatles collaborator Billy Preston wrote this instrumental sci fi funk number.
