If you want it, here it is, come and get it. Make your mind up fast. If you want it, anytime I can give it, but you better hurry, cause it may not bad. Did I stay the must be gas? When you won't go with money, I'll be dead. I didn't get it. You want it, you better go to it. You want it, you better go and you better go back.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

And you are listening to Lifestyles 55. And our show is called The Quest for Silver. The group with the privilege to have the first billing on our show was Bad Finger, with a tune written by Paul McCartney called Come and Get It. So let's continue to be a little risque with Edison Lighthouse and their silver song entitled Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

Oh for the love goes where my rosemary goes, and nobody knows happy. And I like the military. Oh and no one goes out.

SPEAKER_00 5:41

With their song Make Me Smile Now More Than Ever, which has been edited to less than four minutes to allow us just a wee bit more room for more songs than we often have time for in our one little hour. Make me smile is an amazing selection. And talk about tight, like being between a rock and a hard place. We are Lifestyles 55, and this is our quest for silver with me, Mr. T.

SPEAKER_07 6:20

Children play in the park. I'm alone in the dark you though. Time and come up here. I see your face smiling inside.

unknown 6:43

I saw happy.

SPEAKER_07 7:11

So this all we used to do. We try to share the bottom.

SPEAKER_00 9:18

And this is it. All about my bell, a me. The T-Set was from the Netherlands, and they formed during the tenure of Beatle Mania, and had some big songs over there, but not one here. And by here I mean North America. And the song was this one.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

I'm a tool that will show you the D messy mercy. You were the answer, I don't know my questions. I want to tell you that I told you that I was you. That you amaze me by leaving me now in studying you.

SPEAKER_07 10:26

Let the bells ring. Let the birds sing.

SPEAKER_03 10:32

Let's forgive my substitute be. Let the birds sing for the man of time. For the man of time, wait. You were a child of the sun and the sky and sea. There was a time that you thought that you were only friends with me. You already answered all my questions. I want to tell you that I enjoy you, I always do. Let the bells ring. Let the birds sing. Let's not give my substitute be. Let the bells ring. Let the birds sing for the men of time. For the man of time, wait. My bell army. You were a child of the sun and the sky. My bell army. I would do that. You want to answer all of my questions before we do. I want to tell you that I told you that I always do. That you amazed me, believing me, I saw you.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

I'm sure that you have heard the old adage Easy come, easy go. Well, it was incorporated into a song by Bobby Sherman in 1972 and it made some kind of an impact on the music scene.

SPEAKER_03 13:25

Out of the sun. Whatever made me think that I was number one. I don't know. Easy gone, easy gone. I send it out. Just thinking about the jump out and I was smile and I know. Easy gone, easy gone. So I found that smoke and small. So I smile.

SPEAKER_00 15:49

It is not well known that Leon Warwick had a musical sister named, who died from cancer almost 20 years ago. Here is Lee's big sister, who is still alive and kicking with her big hair. I will never fall in love again.

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Don't you know that you fall in love again? Don't tell me what's all about. I don't know what was changing, those changes, I do that as well. I'll hear a must do what you can fall in touch. So far at least until to find Noah, never fall in love again, so it's changed by that as well. I'm here on you, but she can fall in love. So for east, continue to love.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

Back in the day, I was the officiating pastor at a funeral in an Ontario parish church many years ago, and it was requested that we play this next song during the liturgy, with which I did, of course, comply. Norman Greenbaum had rather poignant words to accompany the rocking tune entitled Spirit in the Sky.

SPEAKER_03 28:59

And I will be certain she made the Babylon, I just hung. I know she's on the right so much. And the title of the song says a lot about the meaning of the song, which is a spirit here.

SPEAKER_00 34:22

And here is a factoid of modern interest. Sid was a collaborator with Elvis Presley, who considered doing the song. But Sid decided to give the song instead to Perry Como in 1970.

SPEAKER_02 34:37

It's impossible. Tell the sun to leave the sky. It's just impossible. Ask a baby not to cry. It's just impossible. Can I hold you closer to me? Go and free. Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore? It's just impossible. If I had you, could I ever want for more? It's just impossible. And tomorrow should you ask me for the word? Somehow I'd get it. For the live without your love, it's just impossible. Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore? It's just impossible. If I had you, could I ever want for more? It's just impossible tomorrow. Should you ask me for the world somehow? I would sell my very soul not regret it for to live without you life just impossible. Impossible.

SPEAKER_00 37:38

Is the title of our next silver selection by the Delphonics, who were an RB soul band from Philadelphia. The genesis of the Delphonics was circa 1965, and by 1972, they racked up 12 top 20 hits on Billboard's RB soul single chart. We are on a quest for silver. They were known as the moments. And you gotta give them one or two moments to appreciate their contribution to the music from a bygone era.

SPEAKER_03 42:07

So I can tell I was a song baby, her disposition is saying I love you.

unknown 42:40

I thought of a relation, and then she was a bell.

SPEAKER_03 43:56

I follow from a revolution.

SPEAKER_00 44:51

You will likely remember the song called The Shotgun by Junior Walker and the All-Stars. Well, his career started when he developed his own band in the mid-1950s as the Jumping Jacks. The original name, the Rhythm Rockers, was changed to The All-Stars. And so we flash forward to 1969, when the song What Does It Take to Win Your Love was released as a single and turned out to be one of Junior Walker's most successful releases, becoming a hit on both the RB and pop singles charts. On the sad side of things, Junior Walker succumbed to cancer at the age of 64 in 1995. They're known for their 1969 recording, Color Him Father, sold over one million copies and received a gold record awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America in July of 1969. It also won a Grammy Award for the best rhythm and blue song that same year. The Winstons struggled to secure gigs in the South because of their multiracial composition and disbanded in 1970.

Now the man in my house is so big and strong. He goes to work each day and he stays all day long. He comes home each night looking tired and beat. He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat. Never a frown, always a smile. When he says to me, How's my child? I said that I've been studying hard all day in school. Trying very hard to understand the golden rule. I think I'll call this man father. I think I'll call him love. Said I'm gonna call him father. I think I'll call the man love. Yes, I will. He says education is a thing if you want to compete. Because without his son, life ain't very sweet. I love this man and I don't know why. Except I'll need his strength until the day that I die. My mother loves him, and I can tell by the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister now. I heard him say just the other day That if it hadn't been for him, she couldn't have found her way.

unknown 49:24

I think I'll colour him father.

SPEAKER_01 49:28

I'm gonna colour him love. I've got to colour him father. I think I'll colour this man love. And she knows she and seven kids couldn't have gotten very far. She said she thought that she could never love again. And then there he stood with that big white grin. He married my mother and he took us in. And now we belong to the man with that big white grin. I've got to colour this man far. I'm gonna colour him love. I've got to colour him father. I believe I'll colour this man love. He's just been so good to me. I know I've got to colour him love. I'm gonna colour him father. I've got to colour this man love.

unknown 50:42

He's just been so good.

SPEAKER_00 50:45

The amazing sound of the Hollies with their typical three-part harmonies is common to many of their hits. Except in this huge song, by laying out the philosophy maintaining a responsibility toward each other while we live on this dusty plane. That's the name of the song. That's it, folks. Another super fast collection of great secondary songs from the 20th century. We are Lifestyles 55, I'm Christopher, and on our quest for silver, we are done for now. But I hope you remember to be cool and stay warm.

SPEAKER_06 51:33

With a many winding tongue that leads us to who knows where knows where long enough to care is my brother so we the welfare is a man.
