From their debut album Psychocandy in 1985.

is the debut album by Mahavishnu Orchestra from 1971.
This was :

   John McLaughlin – guitar
   Rick Laird – bass
   Billy Cobham – drums, percussion
   Jan Hammer – keyboards, organ
   Jerry Goodman – violin

The album was #11 for the Billboard 1972 US Top Jazz Albums.
What a wonderful continuation of the genius of McLaughlin following his performance on Miles Davis' "Bitxhes Brew".
P.S. GT wouldn't permit the correct title of Davis' album.

written by Jerome Brailey, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins is probably the most recognizable P-Funk tune. From the 1975 album "Mothership Connection" it became Parliament's first million selling single the next year. The single reached #5 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart and #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart.

Their titles can be confusing when first attempting to locate their fourth studio album.

The title track from their second album, released in 1984.

is the eighth track (out of nine) on Steppenwolf 7 from 1970. It is an instrumental that includes horns and was written by the other (other than John Kay) guitarist Larry Byrom. It ends then briefly swells followed by probably the best analogue explosion they could put on vinyl at the time.

I'm slowly working my way through their back catalogue.

Amazing! I was listening to that album last week and thinking about posting that very song.

written by Sam Andrew is the opening track on "Cheap Thrills" by Big Brother and the Holding Company from 1968.
It's a song of many incongruent parts thrown together with Janis promising to "Knock you! Rock you! Sock it to you now!" in the .. refrain? ... bridge? then finishing the song with her highly recognizable "Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do"

is a 4:25 instrumental and is the 5th track on the 1969 eponymous debut album by It's a Beautiful Day.

written by Ian Hunter, is the opening track on "Mott" by Mott the Hoople from 1973. As a single it reached #10 in the UK but just #35 in the US.

is the last cut on "Stand!" by Sly and the Family Stone from 1969.

was written by M.I.A., Charles "Blaqstarr" Smith and Cherry Byron-Withers and was the 3rd track on the 3rd album "Maya" by M.I.A.in 2010. It was rated #2 of the year by NME.

Or if you prefer, by Run DMC and Aersomith

That's all you need to know.

Thank you for answering my question. I left the chat. I only know songs and artists. Lol

I wonder how that wasn't evident in the original post.

I was asking if you were referring to the song by the Monkees. I got my answer.

Thank you!

Valleri was a Monkees song.

Please expound.

was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. In 1968 the Monkees achieved a #1 hit after they recorded it with several members of the "Wrecking Crew" including Jim Horn, Joe Osbourne and Louie Shelton.

Furthermore some like to include the artist in the Subject: line with the song and leave the Message: blank i.e. Big Giant Head's and HeartOnFire 's entries below.

Thank you soooo much. I wasn't sure how this works. I appreciate your reply. Have a great day!

Not private. Open to all.
One makes a new entry in the Subject: line alphabetically following the previous one.
Lately it has been song title.
For the next entry someone may post Virginia Plain in the Subject: line
If they want to expound they may add something about the author, band, song's success etc. in the Message: body

Just want to know how this works..I don't see any questions..mostly just facts.

was written by Curtis Mayfield and was a #1 hit by Major Lance in 1963.
In 1964 Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders reached #4 with their version.
Johnny rivers re-titled it "Curious Mind (Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um)" and reached #4 in the 1978 Bilboard Easy Listening charts.

I put too may ls in the title. It's "'Til I Die".
The entry by rab2591 is entitled "Til' I Die (Alternate Mix) - The Beach Boys"

is the 9th track on "Surf's Up" by the Beach Boys from 1971. It was a "b" side to a second release of "Long Promised Road" that charted #89. It is a transcendental reflection on life.
Second guessing the talent of Brian Wilson is not something I commonly do but there is a fan's 3:30 re-mixed version of this tune by rab2591 on a popular file sharing site that transcends even the original in my mind.
Quite an appropriate offering on this day that we lost the genius.
R.I.P. Brian Wilson.

was a top ten hit in 1964 for the Shangri-Las. It was written by George "Shadow" Morton who also wrote their 1964 #1 hit "Leader of the Pack".
The song was covered in 1979 by Aerosmith as well as Louise Goffin.
Hollie Cook covered it in 2011 calling it simply "Walking in the Sand".

evolved from "A Night with Daddy 'G' – Part 1" (an instrumental) written by Gene Barge, Frank Guida and Joseph Royster.
The instrumental from 1960 was recorded by the Church Street Five.
The song from 1961 was a #1 hit for Gary U.S. Bonds. Gary wrote the lyrics. It is on the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll" list of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I have this too! The version by Janis.

was written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns.
Aretha Franklin's elder sister Erma Franklin had a #10 single with it in 1967.
The next year Big Brother and the Holding Company's single rose to #12 with the highly recognizable voice of Janis Joplin. It is the song most associated with Janis.
Faith Hill made a #1 country hit with it in 1994.
Shaggy went to #2 in Italy with it in 1997.
Beverly Knight went to #8 in Scotland and the UK in 2006 with her cover.

I have this! One of my faves!

Elvis Costello and the Imposters are appearing this fall in Akron with Charlie Sexton.

was written on October 21 1965 and (my 9th birthday) October 22 1965 by John Lennon. John had spent over 5 hours trying to manufacture a filler song for a new Beatles album and decided to quit with nothing. While no longer trying to manufacture anything the idea of "Nowhere Man" came to him.
Credited to John and Paul McCartney it was released in 1965 by the Beatles on "Rubber Soul". In 1966 in the U.S. it was released on "Yesterday and Today" and became a #1 single.
