Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye

The Alan Parsons Project was good....I Robot wasnt my favorite album of theirs, Pyramid was...What goes up is fantastic! But Alan Parson learnt from some of the best with his involvement from pink floyd.....

Personally Southern rock does the most for me...along with Country!
