🎧 A post I read today triggered memories of the year my Dad was in Vietnam.

I was 12. Dad parked me, pregnant Mom and 3 sibs in a tiny Southern town, and I was miserable. Almost any song from that year that I loved chokes me up. I searched the Billboard charts for 1969, and one song stood out from that Summer.

"What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)

🎧 | 's "Got to Give it Up" (1977) from the 2-LP "Live at The London Palladium." This song was actually recorded at "Marvin's Room" studio in Hollywood.

At least one radio DJ liked to put the 12" on, slip out for some "fresh air" and come back in time to jam to the last half. It's 11:52.
