    I bet that if Lovin Spoonful’s US#1 1966 hit ‘Summer in the City’ were playing on radio stations today, it’d climb to US#1 again. (Back of my neck feelin pretty gritty.)

    (IIRC, that was the first big hit that included an audio sample.)

    Sebastian was drafted for an unscheduled acoustic performance at Woodstock, but rainwater made the stage too dangerous for electric instruments. So he sang ‘I Had a Dream’, the opening track of the famous, US#1 soundtrack album.
