Annie's Song (John Denver, 1973) (C & G)
"Annie's Song" (also known as "Annie's Song (You Fill Up My Senses)") is a folk rock and country song recorded and written by singer-songwriter John Denver. The song was released as a single from Denver's album Back Home Again. It was his second #1 song in the United States, occupying that spot for two weeks in July 1974. "Annie's Song" also went to #1 on the Easy Listening chart. Billboard ranked it as the #25 song for 1974. It went to #1 in the United Kingdom, where it was Denver's only major hit single.

"Annie's Song" was written as an ode to Denver's wife at the time, Annie Martell Denver. Denver "wrote this song in July 1973 in about ten-and-a-half minutes one day on a ski lift" to the top of Ajax Mountain in Aspen, Colorado, as the physical exhilaration of having "just skied down a very difficult run" and the feeling of total immersion in the beauty of the colors and sounds that filled all senses inspired him to think about his wife. Annie Denver recalls the beginnings: "It was written after John and I had gone through a pretty intense time together and things were pretty good for us. He left to go skiing and he got on the Ajax chair on Aspen mountain and the song just came to him. He skied down and came home and wrote it down... Initially it was a love song and it was given to me through him, and yet for him it became a bit like a prayer." Annie's Song, Wikipedia

"April Love" was written as the theme song for a 1957 film of the same name starring Pat Boone and Shirley Jones. Helped by the release of the film, "April Love" became a number-one hit in the United States for Pat Boone, and spent twenty-six weeks on the US pop charts (it spent 6 weeks at number 1). In 1958, it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Music, Original Song but lost out to "All the Way." April Love (song), Wikipedia, April Love (film), Wikipedia.

Back Home Again (John Denver, 1974) (A, C, & G)
Denver's fifth Top 10 hit on the pop chart. "Back Home Again" topped the adult contemporary chart for two weeks. The single was the first of three #1s on the country music chart where it stayed for a single week. The song won a CMA Award for Denver in 1975 in the category "Song of the Year"; he was also named "Entertainer of the Year" at the same ceremony, prompting country pop singer Charlie Rich to light the envelope on fire after reading that Denver had won—in an apparent insult to Denver's musical style and image. One of America's best-selling performers, he died Oct. 12, 1997, while piloting his recently purchased light plane.

Bus Stop (Am) & Bus Stop (Dm) (Graham Gouldman, 1966)(Graham Gouldman, 1966)
In a 1976 interview Gouldman said the idea for "Bus Stop" had come while he was riding home from work on a bus. The opening lines were written by his father, playwright Hyme Gouldman. Graham Gouldman continued with the rest of the song in his bedroom, apart from the middle-eight, which he finished while riding to work – a men's outfitters – on the bus the next day.
It reached No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart. It was the Hollies' first US top ten hit, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard charts.
Gouldman also wrote major hits for The Yardbirds ("For Your Love") and Herman's Hermits ("No Milk Today"), as well as the Hollies' first venture into the US top 40 with "Look Through Any Window". Bus Stop (the Hollies), Wikipedia

Calendar Girl (Howard Greenfield & Neil Sedaka) (C)
Howard Greenfield got the inspiration for the song title from an old movie listing in "TV Guide." Record producer Joe Viglione, writing for AllMusic, describes the song as a G-rated calendar of pin-ups such as Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe, using verbal rather than visual imagery. Each month gives a different reason for the singer's affection for the titular character, and September — "I light the candles at your sweet sixteen" — was a lyrical motif that Greenfield frequently used at the time, including "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen," released later the same year.

Introduced on the 1978 album "Legend," it was the first single by Poco to reach the Top 40 and remained the group's biggest hit. It was ranked by Billboard as the #1 Adult Contemporary hit for the year 1979. Young would later recall : "I was living in Los Angeles, working on my house one day. I was paneling a wall and looking out over the valley in L.A. and the chorus came into my head. I always had a guitar close at hand. It took about thirty minutes to write that song, because it was all there. It was kind of a gift." Crazy Love (Poco song), Wikipedia

Deep Purple 1 (C & G) & Deep Purple 2 (C & G)  (Peter DeRose, ca. 1933, & Mitchell Parish, 1938)
"Deep Purple" was the biggest hit written by pianist Peter DeRose, who broadcast, 1923 to 1939, with May Singhi as "The Sweethearts of the Air" on the NBC radio network. "Deep Purple" was published in 1933 as a piano composition, but became so popular in sheet music sales that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.
Larry Clinton and His Orchestra recorded one of the most popular versions of the song in 1938, featuring vocalist Bea Wain; it was number one on the U.S. popular music charts for nine consecutive weeks in 1939.
The second most popular version, which hit number one on the U.S. pop charts, in November 1963 and also won that year's Grammy Award for Best Rock and Roll Record, was recorded by brother and sister Nino Tempo & April Stevens. It remained in the Top 40 for twelve weeks and was #1 on the Hot 100 the week before John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Another brother-and-sister team, Donny and Marie Osmond, revived "Deep Purple" in 1975 and took it into the Top 20 on the U.S. and Canadian pop charts. Deep Purple, Wikipedia

She originally had little confidence in "Dream Baby", but Orbison's recording was a hit in both the US and Britain in 1962, and was a hit again in 1971 for Glen Campbell and in 1983 for Lacy J. Dalton. It has been estimated that more than 500 of Walker's songs have been recorded and that her songs made the Top 40 charts (country or pop) more than 400 times.

Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress (Allan Clarke, Roger Cook & Roger Greenaway, 1971) (G & D)
The song was written initially in the country/rockabilly style of Jerry Reed then adapted over recording more to the swamp rock style of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Clarke imitated John Fogerty's vocal style, which was based on the Creedence song "Green River". According to Clarke, the song was written "in about five minutes". Fogerty was not amused. He sued the Hollies for plagiarising his song "Green River". It was settled out of court with Fogerty receiving half of the proceeds for the song. Long Cool Womam in a Black Dress, Wikipedia.
