------------
#T1) Ray Peterson: "Across The Street (Is A Million Miles Away)"
(1964) [106] {-}
A sad farewell to Ray, who passed away in late January. This song
had a short run on Boston radio, which I remembered it from, but
nationally it only bubbled under.
#T2) Rare Bird: "Sympathy" (1969) [-] {-}
This was an interesting album cut from the band's debut album in 1969.
Their gimmick was two keyboard players. This song turned out to be
their high point, and Rare Bird disbanded after a couple of LPs. Tim
Rose covered it on the same album that had his rollicking version of
"Where Do You Go To, My Lovely." In early 1970, it made the British
charts and subsequently bubbled under in the U.S.
