kudos to beck for knowing the original artist to #2, although i'll take Cook. additional kudos for knowing "Good Morning Starshine" was originally from Hair although no got the actual sonwriters.

the very first album, Bridge of Sighs, proved tough - no one got it, although Yes was a good guess because it came from that time period. it rose to #7 on the US charts in 1974 and was performed by Robin Trower, an original member of Procol Harum.

kudos to malc for knowing Tony Joe White was the songwriter for "Rainy Night in Georgia".

kudos to pjazz and musikal for knowing Peter Paul & Mary made Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain" famous.

rand took a shot at the songwriter for "Clouds" but missed the mark - Joni Mitchell had an album in the early 70s called Clouds. "Clouds" the single was David Gates' second single, released in the summer on '73 after his first departure from Bread.

and everyone who answered #5 gave me the traditional correct answers except beck, who gave an updated correct one.

have a GREAT weekend!
