   This is the guy who produced one of history few drug/gospel tunes EVER,   
   and for my money the greatest:  "One Toke Over the Line", climbed   
   smokin' into hit parade on every glorious AM powerhouse in 1971, the Top   
   40 song introduced and/or outroed by--among hundreds of other AM boss-DJ   
   voices--the likes of bombastic jocks like Cousin Brucie [WABC/New York   
   City] and The Real Don Steele [KHJ/Los Angeles] and William A. Hopkins   
   [KXOK/St. Louis].   
      
   As pretty much everyone "of a certain age" recalls, one-hit-wonder duo   
   Brewer & Shipley rendered the tune melodically, harmonically and   
   memorably...but linked below is arguably the DEFINITIVE version and   
   INarguably the most improbable rendition ever, with an introduction by   
   an accordionist with a cough, in the service of certain much-lampooned   
   bandleader from North Dakota.
