I'm sure Woody and his arrangers were inspired by the BS&T version. In fairness, I also think of that as the definitive version.

The things ya loin. I noticed the Lou Rawls album was named for his cover of the song that gave BS&T one of their biggest hits, so I was looking up who wrote it, and not only did I learn that but also who else covered You Made Me So Very Happy. One of the more unexpected names on that list: Bobbie Gentry!

This is right in my wheelhouse. It was about this time of night -- not quite deep in the night, but you could see it and feel it from there -- that we'd hear this on the local FM free-form radio of the time, the early '70s.

They are HUGE in the foundation of the 'jam band' thing. One of those bands that doesn't poke their heads up into the mainstream too much but has a really big, devoted underground audience. I have a buddy that owns a record store down in DC who went to college with them and was around for their earliest days

I love this! This is the difference between been a young person and a decreped old person. One night when I worked in Hollywood after putting in a 12 hour day, my boss and I got totally ripped on super grass and went to the Roxy to see Wide Spread Panic, even though we had to be back on stage at 6am. It would kill me today. That is if I had a job to go to.

@Jeff - We're lucky to have been around when commercial radio played things like this,

Awesome and heady show Larry. Thanks a bunch!

@Franco - I feel that feeling all the time. Remembering the days where I'd be out all Friday night, go to work Saturday morning, take a disco nap and then head back out for more fun on Saturday night. I think if I tried that these days I'de be dead halfway through

I have no doubt that they got airplay on KPFK's Thursday Lunch show (which aired Friday nights) featuring jam bands.

Amen, Larry. That late-night free-form FM radio was so influential. My constant companion, and one that opened my eyes and ears to so much.

@Jeff - College radio carried on the experimental feel, but in the punk realm. Not much in the way of dreamy/head music.

Yes, absolutely. Never had a college radio station to listen to, but had a local, listener-sponsored indie station much like WFMU.

Low Spark, Barleycorn and Can't Find My Way are absolutely distinct recall prompts for 70s FM listening.
Thanks for the mix of other takes on 'em!
