Yup. Had other hits in the ‘50s (“The Teen Commandments”), the ‘60s (“Hold Me Tight”), and the ‘70s (“Stir It Up”). Never really was an unknown, just that some people forgot. Several neighbors had a copy of the *Hold Me Tight* Lp, but didn’t remember him when “I Can See Clearly Now” came out. #at40

⬆️ (C) (*way* before the 1950s) Ricky Nelson is the son of Ozzie Nelson, a big band leader who hit with and/or introduced dozens of standards, such as 1934’s “And Then Some”, and 1931’s “Dream A Little Dream of Me” (later covered in 1968 by Mama Cass US #12, & superbly by Louis & Ella in 1950). #at40

History matters, and so did the ‘50s. Like:
(A) Johnny Nash’s first chart success was 1957’s “A Very Special Love” (Bbd pop #23)
(B) Chuck Berry’s “Ding-A-Ling” was a Dave Bartholomew song. Bartholomew wrote & played on Fats Domino’s first recordings incl his 1st hit, 1950’s “The Fat Man”. #at40 ⬇️

Did you know that the #languages of north, central, and eastern India are distantly related to the languages of Europe, including English? That is, our native tongues have a common early history and early culture shared with theirs, as well as with Persian. They are more *like* us than different.

His voice was unique; he could move it around in a flash, and he could kick it up super-strong right when it was needed. The latter was what made “Mighty Clouds” so good. #at40

Here’s another Bobby Russell song, not as big as his biggies, but one of my faves of his - “Sudden Stop” from Percy Sledge (1968, US #63) (not #at40):
