Good year for music? can't argue with that...

1. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye 5 - soul music entered a new phase with this mighty song...
2. Eighteen - Alice Cooper 3 - the finished product we all know and love wasn't quite there...but a fine performance  nonetheless...
3. Tired Of Being Alone - Al Green 5 - another soul great and another timeless song...
4. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart - Bee Gees 4 - as covered by the gentleman above, this was a fine Gibbs song/performance...they lost their way for a while afterwards...
5. Oye Como Va - Santana 5 - my favourite of theirs...great rendition of the Puente classic...
6. Wild Night - Van Morrison 3 - okay...but then I'm not the world's biggest VM fan!
7. Just My Imagination - Temptations 5 - yet another peerless soul number...great arrangement on this...
8. Love The One You're With - Stephen Stills 3 - fine performance, but the song's a bit 'safe'...
9. Your Song - Elton John 3 - ...same with this...
10. Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers 5 - marvellous and very under-rated performer...another great soul song...
11. Proud Mary - Ike & Tina Turner 4 - a 'different' take on the CCR classic...good stuff...
12. You've Got A Friend - James Taylor 4 - respectful cover of Carole's 'standard' - not his best, but close...
13. Maggie May - Rod Stewart 4 - played to death as mandamoo rightly said, but holds up well...
14. Do You Know What I Mean - Lee Michaels 4 - cool, strutting pop-rock...
15. Never Can Say Goodbye - Jackson 5 3 - the boy Michael's voice does grate slightly on this performance...prefer Gloria's cover too...
16. If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot 5 - after many years of slog, Gordie finally hit paydirt with this beautiful song...
17. Truckin' - Grateful Dead 4 - excellent - one of their better efforts (to these ears, anyway)...
18. Joy To The World - Three Dog Night 4 - fine good-time number...
19. Family Affair - Sly & The Family Stone 5 - dark, moody pop-funk, their best work...
20. Have You Ever Seen The Rain - CCR 4 - fantastic band whose best years were behind them, yet could still work magic like this...

Nice one, CF!
