OMG this is good:

John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the song "Misery" intended for her, but Shapiro did not record the composition. In 1995, during a This is Your Life installment highlighting her life and career, Shapiro revealed, "It was actually turned down on my behalf before I ever heard it, actually. I never got to hear it or give an opinion. It's a shame, really."

justdrew , there are a lot of musics on this board that make for the feel good and cause memories to float in and out, but this music makes me just wanna jump up off the chair and shake.it.good! Every.time. Yeah, I like the lyrics, too, btw. Thanks for introducing Manzarek a while back.

He Can’t Come Today | Ray Manzarek

Solar Boat | Ray Manzarek

Downbound Train | Ray Manzarek

you're more than welcome. same here, that album blows me away every time

he has a followup solo album, not as great, but it does have a couple songs that sound like outtakes from golden scarab.

Lie still, sleep becalmed, sufferer with the wound
In the throat, burning and turning. All night afloat
On the silent sea we have heard the sound
That came from the wound wrapped in the salt sheet.

Under the mile off moon we trembled listening
To the sea sound flowing like blood from the loud wound
And when the salt sheet broke in a storm of singing
The voices of all the drowned swam on the wind.

Open a pathway through the slow sad sail,
Throw wide to the wind the gates of the wandering boat
For my voyage to begin to the end of my wound,
We heard the sea sound sing, we saw the salt sheet tell.
Lie still, sleep becalmed, hide the mouth in the throat,
Or we shall obey, and ride with you through the drowned

Dylan Thomas

*this is in no way meant to advocate any of the themes present in the song. Streeb simply likes the tune, and especially Yvonne Elliman's way with it. And Carl Anderson's for that matter. And Ted Neeley's, even as he's jabbering on about letting the poor suffer and die due to unavailable resources, the bastard, which I guess is pretty much what you should expect from a TEXAN!
