George McCrae- Gwen McCrae- Maureen McGovern- The Morning After: Most famous for being performed in the disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure. The hit version is a little overdramatic, but the instrumentation stands out. The version in the movie was not performed by McGovern. Don McLean- American Pie: It's fun to decode the lyrics in terms of its references to the Beatles, the Stones and others (kind of like Rick Nelson's Garden Party, soon to come in this series), but I've just heard this lengthy song too many times. It makes people who were young adults in the 1970s swoon, though.
