Wow! I wonder how THIS one went over?!?!? There are songs on there that I don't even know!!! (lol)
Interesting to see THREE titles by Glen Campbell making the list ... along with FOUR from Jan and Dean. (These artists could have just started their own travelogue I guess!!!)
Might have been a bit more fun to offer more variety by limiting each artist to one track ... but I have to admit, it WOULD be great to hear something like "Nashville Cats" on the radio again. And I've ALWAYS been partial to Dean Martin's "Houston" ... we've featured that one several times before in Forgotten Hits. And finally, "Brooklyn Roads" has ALWAYS been one of my all-time favorite Neil Diamond songs ... so let's give a listen to THAT one, too! (kk)
