    I didn't recognize the artist, but the Parker and Barrow portion rang a bell. A simple search revealed the song.

    The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde

    I remember that song from the late ‘60s, riding in the back of my parents car.

    Yes, I like them. I have a greatest hits of theirs.


    Sammy Johns + G Series = [song]

    deckerp Posts: 5,063 Member

    That has to be Chevy Van.

    I've heard that described as the quintessential 70s song. Great stuff.

  • snookeroo
    snookeroo Posts: 2,732 Member

    Yeah, if it's Sammy John's, it has to be Chevy Van.

    Always thought it had a touch of Eagles to it.

    That song puts me back somewhere in about the 8th grade. So, I looked it up to confirm the year. I did not realize it was originally released in 1973. And then rereleased in 1975 (where it reached #5 on Billboard). I went through a period, around that time, of building model cars. One was a Chevy Van.

    I didn't know it was released in '73 either.

    Here is another song that just IS the 70's. This one from '74.

    First Class + sandy shore + infant = [song]

    Beach Baby

    That IS an essential ‘70s song.

    I made a “summer” playlist I listen to often. Beach Baby is on it, of course.


    Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head + The Entertainer = [actor]
