Today's "Great Song of the '70s" might come under the category of: "Omigosh, I haven't heard that in years!" (Or maybe you don't remember it at all!)
"Never Ending Song of Love" by Delaney, Bonnie & Friends is a quirky little tune with a funky, chunky beat and fun vocals.
Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett co-wrote the song for their 1971 album, "Motel Shot," and it became a #1 single in New Zealand...as well as a hit in North America.
In Canada, it reached #6 on the Top 40 and #16 on the Adult Contemporary Chart. In the US, the matching numbers were #13 & #8.
Also in 1971, The New Seekers took their totally-different- but-still-quirky, version to #1 in Ireland, as well as #2 in the UK and South Africa.
Overall, the song has been covered by more than 100 artists...including Ray Charles, The Statler Brothers, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle, The Osmonds, and Dickie Lee.
"Never Ending Song of Love" by Delaney, Bonnie & Friends: a "Great (and Fun) Song of 1971!"
