Wow…Impossible to pick just one. I love absolutely every song that’s been mentioned.
Another vote for Celebrate.
Got the 45. Played the daylights out of it.
Cory Wells had a set of pipes. Apparently they didn’t write it, but Let Me Serenade You is a good example. In music, there is a concept of building tension, and then release… I’d say this is a good example.
Shambala is a great tune that I have early memories of so I kinda like that one.

Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues), written by the late Allen Toussaint.
I like all of them very very much, but I guess “Pieces of April” would probably be my favorite.
I wore the hell out of my album with that song.

Another vote for Brickyard Blues.
I love the trumpets and harmonica in “Hi De Ho”.
You’re not thinking of the “Hi De Ho” by Blood, Sweat & Tears, by any chance?
Me three!!
I also like “Mama Told me Not to Come”.
“Mama Told Me Not to Come” is the one, with honorable mentions for “Liar” and “Chest Fever.”

[/QUOTE]I’d never heard that - thanks for sharing
“Eli’s Coming” and “Mama Told Me Not to Come” primarily because I like Laura Nyro and Randy Newman a LOT and am pleased that they received big checks for these.
I like* Eli’s Coming* very much, but I like Laura Nyro’s version as much or more, so I’ll go with Celebrate.
Well, of course Laura Nyro’s version is better. I mean, it’s Laura Nyro.
