MacArthur Park

Been doing some retro listening. So, everyone knows the Donna Summer version, but there are a bunch of others.

What's your favorite version of this classic? Good article, here:

Been thinking a lot about MacArthur Park since yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73v1RqRPKGk&t=17s DeKay

Another song I really have been into lately is Ohio by CSNY. Throw in some Peter Paul and Mary, Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, and you have the songs of my early childhood -- all on vinyl, natch.
