The Boney 500: Songs 48 and 47
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2016 10:19 am
Today's two song entries, from the same time period, are a study in contrast: the first one a quiet whisper, the second an all-out rocker..
48. THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEW YORK-SIMON & GARFUNKEL (1970)
Album: Bridge Over Troubled Water
The ethereal background vocals are my favorite part of this song, but the whole thing is lovely in an
otherworldly sort of way. Amid all the classic tracks on this album, this one should not be overlooked.
47. STAY WITH ME-FACES (1971)
Album: A Nod Is As Good As A Wink...To A Blind Horse
Yeah, this one rocks. A struttin' bad boy Rod Stewart and his crew put on their best Rolling Stones moves
here. I really love the wild "all hell breaking loose" finish.
