    Also 1973 Midnight Train To Georgia by Gladys Knight & The Pips tops the charts, and Bob Dylan's Knockin' On Heaven's Door hits #12.

    1990 Fly To The Angels by Slaughter hits #19 in the US charts. (Love that group!)

    I hate to be monopolizing this thread but you know I will if no one else gets in on it. Lots of history for all of us here-help me!

    1965 The Who released My Generation

    1965 James Brown reached #3 with I Got You (I Feel Good)

    I loved this album! According to Wiki, it's one of the best selling albums of all time.

    I am working on my 4th vinyl copy of this album and have had it on cassette and cd also. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Every lyric (and they were GREAT) on this album was written by Roger Waters and it was engineered by Alan Parsons. The 2 singles that were released were Us And Them and Money but yet there were quite a few songs on it that still to this day get all kinds of FM airplay such as Breathe, Time, Brain Damage and Eclipse. The vocals by Roger Waters and David Gilmour are, without dispute, some of the best you will ever hear.

    The lyrics to Time are still one of my favorites. Words to live by with such meaning....

    Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
    You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
    Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
    Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

    Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
    You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
    And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
    No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

    So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
    Racing around to come up behind you again.
    The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
    Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

    Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
    Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
    The time is gone, the song is over,
    Thought I'd something more to say.

    Willie, how true those words are. Funny. I was just thinking a few minutes ago that life is short and we should live every day as if it's our last. That's hard to do sometimes. I for one tend to let real life get in the way and don't enjoy things as much as I should.

    Thanks for posting that.

    Brooke, it doesn't look like you're letting anything get in the way of enjoying Halloween. Love your av and sig!
