To coincide with this week's 70s program from Premiere, here's a "lost classic" from an LP on the January 20, 1973 Top Albums chart -- Van Morrison's St. Dominic's Preview: Redwood TreeVan Morrison www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nyjW9aGSOIBTW, there were a few other songs that week that were considered: *No - Bulldog *Daytime, Nighttime - Keith Hampshire *Lucky Man - Emerson, Lake & Palmer (yes, I consider this to be a lost classic -- it missed the Top 40 twice, and I never hear it on the radio!) |

OMG I hadn't thought of that song in decades. TM Stereo Rock format played it all the time back in 1973!

"Pieces Of April" by Three Dog Night certainly qualifies as an overlooked gem-By the way,that happens to be my wife's name.

Pete, I don't know if I asked you this before, but how come you only do lost classics from the 1970s & not lost classics from the 1980s? Some people (read: me) like '80s music more than '70s music.

Some people (read: me) like '80s music more than '70s music. ponderousman, I don't consider myself an expert on music much past 1977 or 1978. Looking at a Hot 100 chart from 1984, for example, I don't believe I could identify any song that didn't reach the Top 40. And it's possible I wouldn't know a song or two that *did* make the 40. In fact, if you look at the history of my posts within this thread, you'll likely see an early 70s pattern, a preferred time period when, IMHO, music was best. I've been waiting for someone to start a similar thread for the 80s. Even though I align myself with a certain time period, I'd enjoy being exposed to samples of "lost" music from the 80s. Anybody interested? |

To coincide with this week's 70s program from Premiere, here's a "lost classic" from the Hot 100 dated February 9, 1974, a tune that peaked at #51. Exactly three years later, in February 1977, Ray Stevens clucked his way up to #40 with the same song.  But *this* is pure nostalgia.

Could somebody here help me find the title and artist of a song that may be a lost classic? The song has a chorus that sounds like "Doo Doo Loop, Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh" At first, I thought it was an Eric Carmen or Hall and Oates song from 1978 or, perhaps, a song from as early as 1976 or as late as 1979. "Street Corner Serenade" by Wet Willie. That one aired on a recent show and the Hall & Oates song it sounds a LOT like is the title track from Voices, which SCS pre-dates by several years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLO23JNnK04 |

What an unusual name: "Pieces". ;D A friend of mine always says "Pieces of April" is a song about a gruesome murder: there were pieces of April, which is why there was "a mourning in May" ;D Also glad to see Keith Hampshire mentioned above; as I usually listen to AT40 on CKRU I've been exposed to all of his hits in the last couple of years and have come to love them all -- shame he never had a US Top 40 single. |

Premiere did use Keith Hampshire's 1973 recording of "The First Cut Is the Deepest" as an optional extra once, though neither it nor anything else by him made the US top 40 (the song later did by Rod Stewart and, still later, Sheryl Crow.) |

I recall listening to Keith 'Keefers' Hampshire as a DJ on Radio Caroline (UK Offshore Pirate Station) in the mid '60's.
