This is The Quest for Silver with Chris Tuffer on Lifestyles 55 Podcasts. Hi, folks, I'm Chris Tuffer, and you are listening to Lifestyles 55 Day, and our show called The Quest for Silver. We play the song that took a second spot on the popular charts. And we have the took a second spot on our heart. And we are here to relive the memory. Now we are underway. And next up are the electric crew. With too much to dream. The title is a play on words, such as the popular phrase having had too much to drink. As the lyrics describe how the singer has woken from dreaming about an ex-lover. Martha Reeves and the Vandala's began way back in 1957. But it took a few years for their Motown sound to catch on. And they also dropped the surname of Martha when their popularity caught on. Especially by the time this song became one of their biggest recordings.

The Beach Boys version is a modified rendition, but essentially the same. Brian was at the piano and asked him to sit down and listen to something. On the very next day, he got a phone call to come down to the studio. Brian played the song and he was blown away from the IDS day to complete a track less than 24 hours.

Neil Diamond is our pleasure, and hopefully yours as well now, with his second album. Just for you. Like his first album, his second was never released on CD. Although all but two of the tracks were made available on the classics of the early years compilation. All tracks are also available on the compilation album The Bang Years, 1966 to 68. At some point or another, every single track on it was released either as an A side or a B side of a single, with many of them becoming big hits like this one, You Got to Me.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

The Capitals and their song Cool Jerk was released in 1966. It reached number two on the American Rhythm and Blues singles chart. The session was arranged by Funk Brother Michael Harry, as the Funk Brothers Motown's house band played behind the capitals on the track. According to one of the funk brothers, the song was originally to be called Him. This was taken from Watching Neighborhood Hands. The producer was afraid that a song with the word Him in the title would be bad or failed to receive much positive attention. And how did the title change to its current form?

SPEAKER_06 18:34

SPEAKER_00 20:40

Cher's voice is compelling to say the least. And then there is her late ex-husband Sonny Bono, who could not carry a tune in a strong box to gently meddle with the old cliche. And yet somehow they managed to avoid the dumpster through the early years until Cher broke out of the proverbial strongbox and blossomed. This is one of those very famous songs that vaulted the singing career of at least one of the duo, namely Sherilyn Sarkesian, or as she is now known simply as Cher.

The song was written by John Phillips and featured Cass Elliott as the primary vocalist. It was released as a single in November 66, packed with a cover of Martha and the Vandela's dancing in the street. Given the disappointing chart placement of the prior single Look Through My Window, hopes were high that words of love would return the group to the upper reaches of the chart. On the week of January 21, 67. The single fulfilled hope. And by the way, in the lyrics, Elliot advises men that simply reciting words of love won't win a girl's heart anymore. She tells men to demonstrate their love and admiration for a potential girlfriend by sending her somewhere where she's never been before.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

The young rascals were very famous for good lovin', and a year later released I've been lonely too long, and of course had many other hits. They were not especially young, although all under twenty-five. But there was another group called the Harmonica Rascals that were perplexed when they heard about a group utilizing the name Rascals. So they added young to differentiate the two groups. The young rascals with I've been lonely too long on L55DR and the Q for S with me, Mr. T.

But it most certainly did well on the charts and did indeed encourage her to crank out more songs. She had hits like It's My Party, Judy's Turn to Cry, She's a Fool, You Don't Own Me, and this one.

SPEAKER_09 31:52

That's what the shows together now be. Yes, and it's gonna be the weather now. When the stars come at the star, the captain in the sky.

It was formed by a couple of the guys that later formed CSNY, namely Stephen Stills and Neil Young. Which was in fact their only top 10 hit in the late 60s. Hey, what is that sound? Or what it's worth.

SPEAKER_00 37:24

Tell it to the rain was not one of the more popular songs for Frankie Valley in the four seasons, but a credible contender nevertheless. The song's arrangement includes a prominent twelve-string electric guitar part, as well as sound effects and a crescendo of vocals toward the end. Cashbox said the single is loaded with the group's usual effective sound and infectious arrangement.

SPEAKER_08 38:09

Turn off the cheese, girl. I don't care anymore. You can say more lines, cause I've heard them all before. Tell it to the rain, and the stars that shine up. Let us be a win. I gave you a girl and got my plan and went. How does it feel to be what I had to learn? Baby, don't say your song.

SPEAKER_00 40:41

The song is notable for its false ending. Where the instruments drop out and the background singers hold the chord. And the song resumes, ending in a fade out. Critic Maury Dean described the effectiveness of Stubbs shout of Bernadette as being the key ingredient in getting listeners to buy the record. Even if Bernadette herself may not have heard him.

SPEAKER_08 41:26

Searching their whole life through. I never find the love I found in you. And when I speak of you, I see envy in other men's eyes. And I'm well aware of what's on their mind. They pretend to be my friend for all the time. They feel the world and all their own. For just one moment, they want you to be paused. I want you to cause. So, whatever you do, burn the dead. Keep on following me. Bird God, keep on needing me. Burn God! You're the soul of me! More than free, you're a place to me!

SPEAKER_00 44:11

One of the greatest bands who created great songs in the studio prior to some of the later musicians is Paul Revere and the Raiders with lead singer Mark Lindsay. They had hits like just like me. Hungry. And this one entitled Good Thing.

SPEAKER_08 44:39

Seems this world got you down. You're feeling bad about me, so brown. Open your eyes, girl. Look at me. Look at show you how you feel. Don't change your breath. And the life giving you a death.

But later that decade, Johnny Rivers covered it, and it performed very well for him, topping the original version in chart performance. The song reached number one in Canada, but nowhere else.

What is the normal body temperature for a human? Well, according to medical journals, our body temperature varies. But the average is ninety-eight point six Fahrenheit or thirty-seven centigrade. We have to revert to standard measurement to honor the final song on our silver class on lifestyle 75. He was mononymously known by the name of Kiever. On May 17th, 1949.

SPEAKER_08 52:35
