  Please switch out my nomination of...

Gale Garnett - We'll Sing in the Sunshine (1964)

To

Electric Light Orchestra - Daybreaker (1973)

For Richard Tandy, he just celebrated his 76th birthday on March 26!

A prominent feature of the "Daybreaker" arrangement was Richard Tandy playing arpeggios on a Minimoog synthesizer.

It will be 50 years ago this Sunday, May 4th, 1974, that Daybreaker entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #95!

Electric Light Orchestra - Daybreaker (1973) #87 Pop from On the Third Day
