Play this EVERY NIGHT since I first heard it in 1970. Also do God Bless the Child, although my version is more like a Luther V. arrangement or one by any of the many who recorded it.

Like Blood Sweat and Tears better than Chicago because there's usually a way for a single to pull their songs off.

There were lots of jazz oriented or influenced tunes in the early 70's that were major successes.

Pop sort of "dumbed down" after that, although there are little gems from every year thereafter.

I'm thinking "Green Eyed Lady", Stevie Wonder (lots of stuff), "Easy to be Hard" (Three Dog Night), "I Love You More Today than Yesterday"....lots of quality material among the "BUBBLEGUM".

"You Made Me So Very Happy" and Blood Sweat and Tears are certainly at the top of my list.
