  1. Thanks, I have emailed them. However, it appears to be a commercial site selling older music, this song may be too obscure for their catalog. Ross
  2. Tried various parts of the phrases I remember, and a few variations, but came up with nothing. Thanks for the link, though, interesting site!
  3. That was interesting, but it's not it. Definitely not the tune, and missing the "to share your smile" part of the lyric. Interesting site it was on, though!
  4. I posted this earlier but replies petered out, thought I would try again with the mystery lyric in the subject line. In the 60's I lived in Lompoc, a small town on the Central California coast. It had one AM pop station, and the neighboring town, Santa Maria, had one also. There was a song from approximately 1967, part of the lyrics went: "Happiness is when I'm near you, to share your smile, always near you..." I never remembered who sang it, and didn't run into anyone who remembered it until 10 years later. She could sing it but didn't remember the artist. I wrote down more of the lyrics but lost them. Google and other lyric sites have been no help, no one in oldies record stores knows it, the local Seattle oldies station DJ's don't know it. It obviously didn't make the charts, it wasn't that good a song, but for some evil reason it has been bugging me for almost 40 years! Anybody recognize it? Thanks!
  5. You could always read Dave Barry's "Book of Bad Songs" and get something like "Muskrat Love" stuck in your head, that would ease the pain of not knowing. That book is hilarious, IMHO. Ross
  6. That's closer... but my memory of the lyric fragment is pretty specific. I could not find an audio clip of "Knowing". Do you know of a link to one? Thanks Ross
  7. Uh... nope. "Cherish" is a well-known hit that was #1 in September, #2 overall for the year on the 1966 Billboard chart. Very similar tune and sentiment, the driving-me-nuts song is similar in feel to "Cherish", but it doesn't have the sad "you don't love me" content that "Cherish" has. Thanks, though!
  8. You Can Get It If You Really Want - Jimmy Cliff (might be too political, but the message is great).
  9. It might have, but I remember hearing it on the radio in our pickup in Nevada on a trip in the summer of 1967. But my memory ain't what it used to be (hey, what is?). I too tried Google and lots of other lyric sites with no luck. If my acquaintance hadn't sung it in 1977 I'd think it was a figment of my imagination. Thanks for trying!
