  FYI

Bad Company's "Movin' On" was first released in 1974 on their debut Bad Company, not 1975.

Sorry about the lateness of this comment, but I just realized this when casting my ballot!

  Sorry Rick,

I've been dealing with graduation today so I just saw this. It stinks that I got the year wrong. I'm ok with not getting a chance to put in that other song, especially since I hadn't listened to it.

If Nick will let you, maybe you can nominate "Daisy Jane" by America from 1975 or something else.

About The Song Project, Kenmil wrote:
  Great artist selection. Al Jarreau has so many great songs. It's rather shocking that not a single song of his had been inducted here, before. I own 8 of his albums, and it's really hard to narrow down one selection. Most of his biggest hits are from the 80's, but I've decided to go back a little bit farther to the first song I heard by him, when I was in high school.

Al Jarreau - Thinkin' About It Too (1978)

Cheers!

  KING,

thanks for the kind words. It's a privilege to be part of this wonderful community and to share the same birthday month with you. Happy Birthday to you.

I remember we did "long songs" with 5 min+ and it was quite excellent. I hope this works with short songs too.

My nominees:

Pixies - Crackity Jones (1989) [1:24]
The Beach Boys - Little Honda (1964) [1:52]
Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard - Train on the Island (1973) [1:44]
Simon & Garfunkel - 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) (1966) [1:43]

I will come up with some suggestions later. I know it needs a bit of work to figure out the running time and suggestions can be useful in this case.

Al Jarreau - Boogie Down (1983)
Al Jarreau - Trouble in Paradise (1983)
