Here's another entry on Rolling Stone's list of
The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. At #70,
it's the second highest ranked song by a
solo female artist, right behind "Respect"
by Aretha Franklin. Burt Bacharach and
Hal David composed several songs for
this gifted diva and this is one of the best.

If you're just tuning in, good morning and howdy-do.
You're Stuck Like Glue On Shady Blue and you've

Remember the old advertising jingle of the 70s and 80s -
the one that went "I like bread and butter, I like toast and jam,
I like Schmidt's Blue Ribbon Bread, It's my favorite brand"?
Well here's the record that inspired the campaign -
The Newbeats-- "Bread And Butter!"


"Bread And Butter" - The Newbeats
(Sept. 1964, highest chart pos. #2, live perf.
on Oct 3, 1964 ep. of American Bandstand)




You're tuned to S-P-M-M, The Shady Bunch,
and yours truly Shady Blue. One of Bobby
Darin's biggest hits, a multi-million seller,
shoulda, coulda and woulda gone all the
way to the top of the chart. Instead it was
stopped in its tracks at #2 by the wildly
popular patriotic anthem that clung to
the number one spot - "The Battle of
 New Orleans" by Johnny Horton.
