The Carpenters!!! Yes! DGrant is on a roll. They were #4 on the Singles Chart.
Now who knows #1 and #2.
Both artists are still recording and in the news a good bit.

#469re: how did we survive
Posted: 1/27/05 at 2:20pmI was just thinking of You Light Up My Life! My mother I and used to sing that song all the time. Later, we sng Could I Have This Dance. I still like both songs. I met Debbie Boone when she toured Meet Me in St. Louis (cue Trolley Song). Awful production, but I liked her and she was one of the SWEETEST people I've ever met. She just ran up to me and gave me a HUGE hug. She autographed my program "God Bless You". So say anything you like about her, but she was absolutely delightful in person.

OKAY HERE GOES!!!!!
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley,
Ding, ding, ding went the bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings,
From the monent I saw him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Bump, bump, bump went the brake,
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings,
When he smiled I could feel the car shake.
He tipped his hat, and took a seat.
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath.
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels,
When the universe reels.
The day was bright, the air was sweet,
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
You tried to sing, but couln't squeak,
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to leave,
I took hold of his sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned,
He stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand
With his hand holding mine to the end of the line.

Posted: 1/27/05 at 2:25pmI still think my favorite song from the 70's is "American Pie"
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
