Don62 Who are you to say what's a good song? David, you've demonstrated your utter lack of musical knowledge or taste here on these boards. The late Gene Pitney, who you attacked as being "mediocre" had more talent in one tooth than you, pal.
I guess the masses who bought millions of copies of Honey, Barry Manilow songs, and the many records put out by Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Paul Anka, Three Dog Night, Journey, Kansas, Styx, etc., they're all nobodies and don't mean a thing in some so-called consultant's limited world.
Agreed Don62...To him..it's just 300 songs repeated daily, nothing new, no specialties, nothing extravagant...only monotony.
Gene Pitney is one of the best Don62. "Only Love Can Break A Heart" from 1962 is a classic and should be aired.
And yes "Honey" was #1 for several weeks in '68.
