"Hang On in There Baby" is a song written by American musician #JohnnyBristol and arranged by #HBBarnum as the title track from his first album, Hang on in There Baby (1974). It was released as his debut solo single in 1974 by #MGMRecords, reaching No. 8 on the US #Hot100.
"I Saw the Light" is a #countryGospel song written by #HankWilliams. Williams was inspired to write the song while returning from a concert by a remark his mother made while they were arriving in #MontgomeryAlabama. He recorded the song during his first session for #MGMRecords.
Eric & The Animals wrote and performed a song about a Festival that took place on the Left Coast in 1967. I believe it was called "Monterey". 😉 🎸 🌊

voice is undeniable, but I usually find her uptempo stuff to be too cutesy. #fallin is an exception: she sings the hell out of it & the arrangement is sparse & funky. Like she stepped out of a coat closet after boinking a clandestine beau. Rest In Peace. #1958 #mgmrecords

So many great #louchristie tracks that proved to be a bit much for pop and #ifmycarcouldonlytalk is one of the best. Our hero goes off to Nam, leaving his #xke in the hand of his beloved only to return and find several clues that suggest an affair. Classic Christie paranoia. RIP #1966 #mgmrecords
